Grace Manor at North Park

I went to Grace Manor at North Park. The staff gave me a tour, and the people seemed nice. They showed me around, and everything seemed nice. One of the rooms we went to smelled like urine, but otherwise it didn't look dirty. It seemed fine.

GS In my eyes you can find a fancy high end place but it is what happens inside those walls. Inside Grace Manor I have found a staff that is caring and kind also who have become family. My mom is in dementia care and she is treated wonderfully. The staff is hard working and are consistent with their care. We couldn’t be happier and we appreciate the way they include dementia patients in activities. Thank you so much for everything!

Grace Manor is a beautiful charming quaint community. Residents and staff interacted like family with smiles on their faces. The owner and the administrative team are very hands on and always eager to help. You can feel confident that your loved one will be well looked after and feel as though they are apart of a family.

My father has moved into Grace Manor at North Park. He's in the highest level of care. They have two levels there and he's in the higher one. It's been wonderful. The people are very kind and extremely helpful. They are very open to what my concerns are and what my preferences are for my dad. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that his transition has been as smooth as possible. He just moved rooms, so I haven't seen his new room. His original room was a shared space, and it was large. He had a roommate, but they each have their own walk-in closet, a shared bathroom, their own armchair, bedside table, drawers, and twin bed. I have not tried the food, but I have been there during mealtime and it smelled extremely good. The dining area was nice. They have smaller community tables for the residents to sit at and there is always the option for family members to enjoy the meals together. They have a drink station and a cereal station set out at all times, so you can also get snacks either for yourself or for your family members, which is nice, too. We chose it because the director who gave us the tour seemed to be very down-to-earth and personable as well as cost. It was one of the more affordable places. The staff was very attentive and friendly. He was living in another facility and several of the staff members were also hired at Grace Manor. That was another reason for us because it wasn't a huge transition since there would be some familiar faces there for Dad also. It's an older facility, but they were kind of constantly cleaning while I was there and talking about different upgrades they were doing with replacing flooring, etc. I was happy with that. They're very accommodating. He's on a pureed diet, and they had no problem doing that for him.

My mom is a resident of Grace Manor at North Park. They are very family oriented. We think it's a gorgeous location with a beautiful front porch area that the residents just love. The staff is very kind and compassionate. They do not have security, which I think is disappointing, as far as needing to have a code to get in or anything. People just pretty much come and go. Their residents have been complaining about the food, but the facility has been trying to prepare menus that are more inviting for the residents. It's slightly improving. I have tried the food; I can understand their concern as far as taste and nutritional balance. It is just a mile from a major hospital, and it is also located across the road from a vocational school. They include the residents with activities with some of the students, as far as getting their hair done and manicures. They'll prepare meals for them that they go over there. It's nice, just another way for them to socialize. We're satisfied with the value for the money. They have a wonderful activities director. One thing that she enjoys is, on Saturdays, they do have a nondenominational church service. They'll have barbecues outdoors, play a lot of bingo, do some crafts, and bring in music and entertainment.
