Abington Manor at Morgan Hill

Finding a place for a loved one can be an overwhelming and emotional process. Abington was the first (and only!) place we visited, knowing right away it was the right choice. The staff instantly felt like family. From admin, personal care aids, facilities support staff, everyone is friendly and helpful. The rooms are a good size, furnished with basic needs and we are able to bring in personal furniture and decor to make it feel like home. A variety of activities are offered every day. Residents are encouraged to participate, but they have autonomy to make their own choices. The food is delicious, the building is super clean It’s a blessing to know that your loved one is safe, comfortable and well cared for.

Abington Manor was exceptional in trying to provide proper supports for my mother. "A" for effort!! Unfortunately, my mother required a higher need of support, and she moved into memory care where she is getting the supports she needs. Staff are kind, and at the memory care unit, staff are very professional and make it a point to speak to my mother and try to engage her in activities and choices.

My experience with the staff at Abington has been nothing short of amazing. They are very caring and compassionate folks that care deeply about their residents. Extra kudos to the activities staff for the amazing engagement they provide!

I have been thinking about the review I want to compose about Abington Manor because I want to get it right. To make sure everyone that is considering this home for themselves or for a family member, I will tell you my story. My dear cousin had been having problems with dementia for quite some time. She was trying to handle her home and health on her own, but dementia was winning, making it obvious to everyone but herself that she wasn't safe at in her home anymore. Sadly, she ended up in the hospital. I felt that this was my opportunity to find her a safer living situation. I only had a week to research homes that provided memory care and have her discharged, kicking and screaming, to the home I selected. This was unusual because it had to happen fast. Casey Longo was up to the job. She arranged for a nurse to meet with my cousin at the hospital to be sure that she would be a good fit at Abington Manor. That done, Casey helped me get all the records and paperwork in order. It was no easy task because I live in a different state so it all had to be emailed and scanned back and forth. Casey was there for me. I called her during the day, evenings, and on the weekend too. She was knowledgeable, organized and very kind. I was scattered and stressed. Anyway, my cousin was transported directly from the hospital to her studio apartment at Abington Manor exactly 10 days after she was admitted to the hospital. I worried that my cousin woul miss her home and want to leave, but she loves it there! The staff are very attentive without being overbearing. The choices provided for meals in the dining room are varied daily. The activities offered are an excellent opportunity for much needed socializing. And the studio apartment is a perfect size for my cousin to relax and read or watch her favorite evening television shows. My cousin feels very safe in this secure memory care home. In closing, let me tell you what happened when I visited my cousin. I was worried that she would see me and be angry that I wouldn't allow her to return home. But the first thing she did was hug me and cried with happiness. She immediately asked if I sold her house. I was unsure how to respond, but I said I needed to sell her house so she could afford to live at Abington Manor. She said, "thank God. I never want to leave here!". Then, I cried with happiness and relief.
