Nursing home care praised (6/15/04)

All too often we don’t hesitate to share our gripes and complaints, but we fail to give thanks and credit to those so deserving. We are referring to AmeriCare Living Center of Portland. Because of failing health, we found it necessary to transfer our mother from Parkview Hospital to AmeriCare Living Center in April, where she resided until her recent death.

We were told that visitation was allowed around the clock, as long as we weren’t disturbing to other patients. They worked very hard to make sure that mother was clean and comfortable, they were very quick to respond to suggestions that we made, called on updates regarding her condition, and even suggested moving her to another facility if we felt she would get better care. They were so cooperative.

For those who are able, the facility offers so many activities and entertainment. Also therapy and improvement to the point where some have been able to leave AmeriCare and return to their former home. We believe the answer is, “if we will work with them, they will work with us.”

Thank you, AmeriCare Living Center of Portland.
