Community Reviews
Wonderful place!
reviewed on: 01/23/2015 by AnonymousEverything at The Hermitage has been fantastic so far. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and were right there for us throughout the whole sales and move-in process. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the room they had available was just right for the loved ones that we were searching for. They even do a great job with the food! I would give them top marks across the board, it really has been a great experience!
Responsive, attentive staff!
reviewed on: 03/03/2016 by AnonymousI moved my mother to The Hermitage from a different community. Things are going great here, she is doing really well. I like it very much. The staff is very attentive and responsive, my mother falls often and they are quick to assist her. Everyone is nice. The head nurse on her floor is delightful. The food is great, she had lost weight before coming to The Hermitage and she has been eating better there. There are a lot of activities. She is in the skilled nursing area, but we are able to take her to other areas so she is able to participate in all sorts of activities the different areas have. There are good musicians who come in and play guitar. There is a hair salon. She usually eats in her area of the community but we sometimes take her to the main dining room that is more formal and it is a little treat for her.

reviewed on: 09/23/2013 by DaphneInitially we were to go Assisted Living. On the "move in" day we were informed after 6PM that we needed to leave the property because the paperwork was not complete, this after sitting with Hermitage staff from 3-4PM to confirm that all the paperwork was complete. My relative ended up the next day at the Emergency room with a catheter. The Hermitage declines to support catheter management in Assisted Living, but did provide a room in their health Care facility. Next we moved out of the Assisted Living facility and terminated that contract. The Hermitage Health Care unit provides 24/7 care for high and low functional residents, meaning alzheimers and catheter management residents are cared for in the same facility without any separation. This was depressing to my high functioning relative. The overall quality of care was ok, but not great. We often found the urine bag full and in need of emptying, and the staff while friendly, made little attempt to engage with my relative, involve her in activities or proactively address her depression and condition. We moved to another facility after 30 days.
Peace of Mind and Better Health
reviewed on: 03/15/2014 by psicariSince moving into the Hermitage, my Mom has improved significantly in many ways. Being "forced" to eat the majority of her meals in the main dining room is a major contributor to this. First, she's eating more nutritionally balanced meals which is helping with her energy levels. The moving about from her unit to the dining and back is creating a level of physical activity that had been fading and causing other health related issue. This subtle form of exercise has been a big improvement. The social element that comes from both the dining arrangement and the other residents has been good for her mental well-being. She's also been participating in the exercises class, which is not typical for her at all, but again, has been extremely positive. The staff is very caring, friendly, and attentive. All in all, it's been a great experience for all involved.
