Review

Merrimack County nursing home has received mixed reviews from different individuals. One individual expresses their dissatisfaction with the facility, mentioning that they felt the staff was dirty and uncaring. They share an experience where the doctor failed to respond to their inquiries promptly and defended their mother's treatment by stating that urinary tract infections were common among residents. The reviewer believes that although this may be true, it is not acceptable. They conclude by advising others to stay away if their goal is to live rather than wait for death.

Contrasting this negative review, another individual shares a positive experience about Merrimack County nursing home, specifically regarding their aunt's six-month stay. The reviewer commends the facility for providing counseling sessions for relatives and mentions the availability of recreational activities such as exercises and community rooms. They are appreciative of the attentive nurses, staff, and excellent counseling professionals who seem knowledgeable in their roles. The reviewer also notes the presence of various amenities such as a restaurant, hairdressing salon, and outdoor areas with flowers.

Another perspective comes from a volunteer at the nursing home who describes it as a palace-like environment where residents feel like kings and queens. The reviewer praises the high comfort level provided by the staff members and highlights how everyone, including volunteers, engages with residents on a personal level. From conversations in the hallways to assistance in attending events or cocktail hours twice a week, there is a strong sense of involvement with every resident. The facility promotes wellness not only for the residents but also for its staff members. It allows residents to grow vegetables in their rooms and permits family members to bring pets as well. Various entertainment acts are invited regularly, but bingo remains a popular activity among residents.

Lastly, one reviewer focuses on the healthcare aspect of Merrimack County nursing home. They highlight how serious quarantines are taken within the facility due to potential health risks and emphasize that access is controlled by the head nurse based on the well-being of the residents. The reviewer appreciates the careful attention given to ensure the health and safety of those residing at the nursing home.

Overall, these reviews provide a balanced view of Merrimack County nursing home. While one individual expresses disappointment with certain aspects, such as communication with doctors and perceived lack of care, others highlight positive experiences regarding amenities, staff attentiveness, volunteer involvement, and a focus on resident wellness. It's important for readers to consider both perspectives when forming their own opinions about the facility.
