  1. 1A care coordinator confirms that long-term care is the right level of care and that you're eligible.
  2. 2You pick the homes you'd like, and your name is added to each home's waiting list.
  3. 3When a bed opens and you're next in line, the home offers it to you.

    My sister was at Kiwanis as she was bed ridden with peripheral neuropathy. The care she received in the beginning was good as were the meals and activities. However, when her health deteriorated and she spent some time in the hospital, she was sent back to Kiwanis for hospice care. That was horrible! She did not get her old room back which had all her belongings in it and since she had to be on oxygen 24 hours a day, they provided an oxygen machine that sounded like an old tractor. All her food was mush. She wouldn't eat anything except for the things that were brought to her by family. We had to tell them to bring her real food. We also did not find the staff to be very caring. Honestly, what a horrible way to spend your last days. As well, when my sister passed, my nephew was pressured too soon after to have her moved. He was broken and devastated and was told he had to have her moved quickly. It seems no one had any compassion. Not a great experience.

    First time my dad stayed he said the food was great nurses were good . I came in to get his room set up. then the next time he stayed the food sucked and not much of it. When he got home he ate anything and everything he could get his hands on. Thank goodness I sent him snacks. They wouldn't let him take his own meds from home so their pharmacy sent over his puffer then because he had a new one at home they sent me a bill. I refused to pay and told them why. Now I won't send him there anymore. Dad's case worker called and asked why and when I told her what had happed she said she would look into it but I never heard back from her.

    The staff are very warm and inviting. Efficient staff. Pierre the Care manager is organized. This place gave me a good feel. Although old, it's clean and well cared for. Felt my mother was in good hands.
