Overall Review of Hanover House

differentiator 9 reviews mention this

Care includes therapy and wound help

Residents describe hands-on care that ranges from therapy support to wound and medication concerns.

Some residents and families mention treatment being actively managed, including care plan support and ongoing therapy. Others describe medication and supervision problems, including incidents after falls and concerns about timely assistance. Several reviews specifically call out wound care—either praise for being taken care of or complaints that wounds were not properly managed. A few reviews also describe medical follow-through like safe transportation to appointments.

Understaffing affects safety and help

Multiple reviews raise staffing shortfalls that can delay help and affect safety.

A recurring complaint is that there are not enough employees to meet residents’ needs, with examples like long waits for assistance and inadequate coverage on floors. Several reviews describe medication timing issues and inconsistent follow-through, including cases where people “might” get meds or where help for urgent needs was delayed. Others describe care gaps such as call-backs not happening, delayed transfers, or residents not being cleaned and tended to as expected. One family also describes communicating concerns without a timely response from the facility.

A few reviews say the meals are restaurant-quality and easy to enjoy, including for picky residents. Other reviews describe problems like poor-tasting food, missed food trays, or meals that may not arrive consistently. One review mentions meals were not very good for a resident, while another complains about timing and overall food quality. Overall, dining seems to depend heavily on consistency of service.
