Joak American Homes

The staff was friendly to the family as well as my mom. It smelled like a home, not a nursing home. It's just like home.

My experience is special. I know my aunt is safe and well fed. She has a job of wiping off the table after they eat. She looks forward to doing it. She loves sitting outside. I would recommend Beachwood.

I am really happy with how they treat my mom and how they treat myself.

[name removed] (manager) is very honest. She goes out of her way if something special you loved one needs/wants. She has been there a long time. I believe 19 yrs. If issues with the staff she will work hard to replace. So night shift seems to change often but home is always open for guests to visit and feel welcome. I personally do not think I could have found a better place for my mom. Just very honest!

What has made Beechwood Living Center such a great experience so far is the Quality of Care the residents receive from the staff. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

[name removed] is just completely amazing, she made a promise to our family that our loved one would be treated like family with respect and love and she has not let us down. This is completely a night and day experience from a previous community. Our loved one is enjoying all of the meals provided to him, she is an extremely good cook and a great manager. She will sit with him during meals , or sit with him just to have a conversation. She is very responsive and very communicative with our family and will reach out to us without hesitation. We absolutely recommend this community to other families.

We found beechwood, with your help, and moved my loved one in. My loved ones stay was calm, peaceful, and healthier for them, and the staff. We appreciate the staff refusing to give up on my loved one. Also, they reported everything to us, and was always true. Everyone smiles, and it's a very secure, and safe place. I have never seen any issues with, the cleanliness. Thank you for your help.

The lady in charge of the facility [name removed] is a very caring person who treats all of the residents like family. My sisters and I all love her. We still keep in touch even after mom's passing. The residents are all very sweet and seemed happy. I would recommend Beechwood Living Center to everyone!

The Manager Sandra [Removed] Is A Very Great Person She Goes Above And Beyond To Be Sure The Residents Are In A Safe Environment...The Staff Are Very Friendly...I Can Honestly Say They Take Great Care Of Their Residents...I Would Truly Recommend This Home For Any Elderly Person They Are Great

The Manager of Beechwood Living Center, Sandra Brown, made this experience as good as it could possibly be. She gave me my Dad's laugh back one more time, and was persistent in calling me (6 times while I was away from my desk) because she intuitively knew I NEEDED to hear him happy again. Beechwood was very clean, I never walked in to any kind of commotion, it was peaceful and pleasant. I quickly felt comfortable "walking in to someone else's home", as this did feel like a home. The home cooked smells were wonderful, too. Every person I met at Beechwood was loving and caring; many seemed to be students in the local nursing schools. Denise has been there for 16 years, she was always calm and handled all the residents with kindness. We expected to have Dad there much longer than we did, but I met people whose family members had been there 4.5 years, one lady has been there for 15 years. I believe that speaks for itself. The night Dad passed, they couldn't have been kinder to me and my family with loving support for some of us they literally met that night for the first time, and for me who had only known them for about 12 days. I can't thank Sandra and her team enough for the compassion they demonstrated that night. Had I known there was a place like Beechwood, I would have pushed my brothers, Dad's caregivers at his home for 2.5 years, to move him sooner. My Dad was a very social person, even with the dementia, I now think he might have been happier for other social interaction than our major point of "keeping him in HIS home". Beechwood isn't new and shiny furniture, but it is very clean and the staff are outstanding. I highly recommend Beechwood Living Center.

I can't tell you how blessed I feel that Sandra worked with me through this difficult transition to decide to put my Dad at Beechwood and the genuine love and care she had for us all the way through his passing early Wednesday morning. My Dad had a difficult transition, which I expected, but Wednesday morning, less than 48 hours after he arrived, Sandra had a breakthrough with him; she called me multiple times trying to reach me at work so I could hear my Dad laugh and "cutting up" with her after less than 2 days at Beechwood. I told Sandra that was a true gift she gave me to allow me hear my Dad laugh again...I can't tell you the last time I heard his beautiful laugh. Sandra's persistence to contact me was a true gift that I will cherish. I praise all the staff at Beechwood and thank them for all that they did to make this experience good not only for my Dad but for me and my brothers. This was a very positive experience at a time when it felt like we, as a family, were failing our Dad by deciding we couldn't care for him any longer after 2.5 years of 24/7 oversight trying to keep him in his own home. My Dad was a very social person; it occurred to me after he arrived at Beechwood, that we kept him at home for 2.5 years because we wanted to keep him in his own surroundings, but he missed the social interaction of others. He had so much contact from others in the short time he was at Beechwood, I now think we should have done this a long time ago.

My mom loves it here! The girls really go out of the way to make sure she is happy. They could use some new furniture, the chairs in the dining room are super heavy and it's hard for some of them to get up and down. The food is pretty good. They are a very good value. It's nice that they have a visiting doctor, and someone to come and cut her toenails. I'm very pleased.

It was a wonderful experience. The team was very kind, caring and took good care of my mom. We picked this community, because of the team, price and facility. I would recommend to other families. My mom enjoyed her short time there.

They have been very helpful and friendly. Open and honest about her well being. I always feel welcome when I go to visit at any time that I decide to go. I get random texts in how she is. Both good and bad which I truly appreciate. They do watch tv and they talk to each other and [name removed] the manager seems to be involved with them all and chat with them. Maybe like someone reading a book or something would be fun. Food seems a little better but that could just be me. I'm a picky eater. I know they try and the people that have been there are very caring.

small, cozy, and quiet. [Name removed] was honest and caring. I am happy with the care that it seems my mom received during her short stay at Beechwood.

The Beechwood Living Center has been a very good fit for my friend. It is a smaller place and they don't have a lot of the activities that they have in the bigger places, but it is in their price range. It is very clean and everyone is very friendly.

When my mom is ready for assisted living and completely needs help, this is where I want her to be. The staff were excellent with the others there and are very caring people. It is a roomy and friendly place.

Had my mother in law in for four years previously. She was very happy living there and we were very happy with the care she was given there.

The food is usually made here with a menu posted weekly. It is more like eating at home. They do keep the community very clean and tidy. I have not seen a lot of activities offered, however I have seen coloring books. Most of the staff are nice. This is a smaller community. I would recommend this community for residents with memory issues.

I liked the home but my daughter had some issues there. She was much younger than the other ladies. She just didn't want to stay. I think they took good care of her. The home was clean and in good condition. She didn't want to stay. Karen
