I arrived at Keswick Multi-Care Center this afternoon. This community offers assisted living and nursing care, so I was pleasantly surprised that I would be staying in a skilled nursing room tonight! All of my stays up to this point have been in Independent or Assisted Living apartments so I am excited to say that I have now stayed in the full continuum of care!
I was greeted and shown to my room (Room #G10). Along the way I was introduced to a few staff members. I am staying in a section of the community where most residents are receiving rehab services.
I arrived a little late, but I was able to get dinner in the dining room and talk to a few residents and staff. I have had so many staff ask me if I need anything that I would swear I was staying in a 5 Star Hotel! The difference is that in most hotels everyone is anonymous, in these halls everyone knows each other and refers to each other by name.
I guess it feels a bit like a cross between the Ritz Carlton and my college dorm staying here. I kind of like keeping my door open and hearing the activity in the hallway!
Per my usual, here is a video to check out my “digs” for the night!
Looks nicer than the nursing homes I have been too
Awesome post Steve!
Do many places have the ability to guests to “drop in” for a night or two?
This seems like such a convenience for people and would help with vacancy issues at these places - great win win.
Seems like a clean and tidy place to stay. Having a TV, night stand, lamp, bed, bathroom etc. seems pretty ideal and on top of that care givers are there to cater to your needs! Interesting to see, thanks for the video!
Amazing hownursing homes have evolved in just the last 10 years!
