St. Leonard CHI Living Communities

My father was there for several weeks and the facility and service was sub par. The place is run down and seemed to be all about just feeding and giving meds. 45 minutes of rehab 1 day a week seems like a waste for rehabitating someone with mobility issues. Although some of the staff were nice, most were rude and lacked compassion. Perhaps they are overworked, but that isn't a good excuse in this business. He was struggling to speak for several days before they determined he may have had a stroke and called me to send him to the hospital. When he came back he needed speech therapy and we were handed a form that they were no longer providing him service for rehab and we asked to vacate in 2 days or pay $650 a day to stay! Even good skilled nursing doesn't charge that. Ridiculous. I get the impression they just want the Medicare money. I would never recommend this place. There is a reason for the low rating.

When Tim came to St Leonard Memory Care, he was very a former marathon runner who could no longer stand and had severe dementia. From the start he seemed content. He never complained, never asked to go home and when asked how he was doing, he often said "I love it here, it's a wonderful place." He would point to one of the staff and say, "See that woman. She is wonderful." I felt he was well taken care with attentiveness and kindness. Even some of the residents helped look after him. It was the best I could hope for given his circumstances.

I’ve had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time at St. Leonard over the years, and I’ve always been impressed by the community. The campus is beautiful, clean, and well cared for, but what stands out most is the people. The staff I’ve interacted with are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seem to care about the residents they serve. It’s simply a very nice place with a warm, positive atmosphere.

We visited St. Leonard's without an appointment as part of our planning for future housing. Fortunately Sarah was available. She did an excellent job of sharing information about St. Leonard's and answered all of our questions and concerns. While we are not moving in the near future we certainly will give St. Leonard's serious consideration at that time. Highly recommend checking their facilities.
