Our family's experience
The place was very clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. My mother loved the food. They tried to get her to participate in the activities, but she wouldn't. They allowed her to walk, and that kept her busy.

Staff was kind, but not enough staff to handle the care of so many patients. Food was ok, but my mom gained 60lbs in 7 months. The room was clean mostly, but they never helped her hoarding issues. They didn't have time to work individually with her to get her to shower or investigate why she wasn't showering. Turns out her bath mat was too slippery, so she was afraid. Administration lacked professional knowledge and unfamiliar with their own policies and practices. The whole place was like a holding facility rather than one with care. Staff never did anything unless asked by a family member. When these issues were addressed with corporate level management, response was blame admin rather than look at the way they staffed programs. Lots of issues, would not recommend.

[name removed] was my tour guide and provided an excellent experience! Am definitely interested in transfering my sister to Porter Place but finances are a real concern. Will wait to hear how her scheduled assessment goes by [name removed] next week. I feel the environment there will be a good choice for her and her care would be at a greater level!

Since the departure of [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed], this place has turned to garbage. I loved this place for my mom before. She had exceptional care from so many and all management and staff knew her and me. Now you walk in and it’s like night and day. There are still some phenomenal staff who should not go unappreciated. These people will go above and beyond. As far as the others - it’s a paycheck and their behavior shows that. They don’t care about the residents or the family members. My Mom was on hospice and her final days there were miserable for her and me. I spent day and night to be with her. The lack of compassion and humanity is overwhelming. The lack of professionalism is mind blowing. “Attitude reflects leadership” and let me tell you from personal experience” I would never recommend this place to anyone and it’s heartbreaking because this place used to be a place of peace for me, knowing my Mom was so well taken care of. It changed. It showed. It’s over now.

The community was amazing. I never wanted to place my dad in a facility, so I was scared. But everything about Porter Place made me feel good about having him there. The facility, the administrators, the care givers, were great. The community was welcoming and reassuring.

At first Porter Place was good, as [name removed] was partially able to listen. First was eating. They told me he was using fork, turned out to be not true I asked for finger food, was told he didn't need. He fell trying to get up at least 5 times and since I was new to this, had to find out for myself there was a wheelchair he could not get out of. Often staff problems with not showing up. Also in watching patients in the activity room. Saw an older lady slide right out of her chair because no one was watching them. Laundry was another problem. His clothes were marked and consistently went missing and had other men's clothing in its place. Luckily there was one aide who took a liking to [name removed]. [name removed]was a godsend! Finally to not drag on, found the director rather hard to talk, and in my opinion. Dismissive of our concerns.

The staff cheerfully engage with the residents. They seem to truly care about the resident's well being & happiness. They kept my mom's room clean and free of tripping hazards. They get acquainted with the likes and dislikes of each individual & cater to their specific needs. Every staff member engages one way or another to the residents. Wonderful care.

I am disappointed in the initial assessment of my sister. I feel like they assessed her incorrectly then raised the price after she was in the facility. Also, follow up from admin/nursing staff could be better. Follow up with doctors and family is slow and need constant reminders.

Every time I visit my mom, she appears to be well cared for. That is really the most important thing. She is always clean; her room is always clean and they're making sure she gets her medications as prescribed. The staff at Porter Place is doing for my mom all the things I struggled to accomplish while caring for her. The staff has also been responsive to my questions and proactive in communicating whenever there is something I should know. In short, Porter Place Memory Care is proving to be a Place for My Mom.

We chose Porter Place because it was close to my house. But it was also brand new, very clean, staff was very friendly, and it catered to my father's needs. It is an absolutely amazing place. I was skeptical about assisted living, but I was completely blown away by how good Porter Place was.

Porter Place was a good fit for my Mom. The staff is very knowledgeable about dementia and are very caring.. They have a good schedule of activities to keep the residents engaged. I liked that they have safety in mind with their motion detection and cameras in the rooms so they can help prevent falls, and actively respond when one happens. The in house therapy team is great- worked to help my Mom gain strength back after a hospital stay.

Overall I'm as happy as you can be in this type of situation. My Mother is not as far along in her Alzheimer's as most are in this community so that has been a struggle for her as she is able/active physically, and there are a lot of people sitting around alone doing nothing. Nurses have been amazing and nice to my Mom. Could be some improvement in personal hygiene help with residents from CNAs. The front desk staff - [name removed] and [name removed]- THE BEST! I have anxiety every time I pull in the parking lot never knowing what I'll see or experience and they help put me at ease with a genuine hello and kind smile. My only main complaint is the smell when walking in from the lobby. It is masked with constant spraying of disinfectant in the air, that irritates lungs and it's a combo of food/urine/disinfectant. Really hard for me. If they can solve this problem, it would be FIVE STARS!! Bottom line, my mom is safe and looked out for at Porter Place.

We moved my mom out. My mom lived at Porter Place for 6 months and we decided to move her. I would give it a solid 3 stars. On the pro side, the care was normally good and the staff was attentive and friendly. On the con side, there are a large number of residents there and it can be a bit overwhelming for quieter people. The common area (TV room) is too small for the number of residents. The CNA staff turnover is high so there is a lack of consistency. Guests are asked about their Covid status (as of June 2024) and temperature is taken with a scanner at the desk which is crazy at this point. There is a bit of an institutional feel to the place as opposed to where my mom is now. Depending on the cleaning staff, there is often a urine smell in the hallways. Bottom line, your loved one will receive decent care here but the a large number of residents make it less homey and presents challenges for the overall environment.

It's really a great place and [name removed] has become quite comfortable here. I'm really grateful for the staff and organization's care of him.I would strongly recommend PP. They've addressed my concerns about his care in a timely and professional manner. And they've allowed me to participate in his care. I feel comfortable that they will take care of him and socialize with him if I'm not available to see him on a given day. [name removed]transition to PP from home has not always been easy but after a year I can say it's working out and he's content.

The staff is now our extended family! These people aren't just employees at Porter Place, they are people who truly care, who love what they do, and it shows. I go at all different times of the day and night, and her room and bathroom is spotless! Mom has changed since she has been here. She is so happy and loves everyone there. They go above and beyond for Mom. The receptionist is one of the ones Mom loves. When she is having a bad day the receptionist [name removed] goes and gets her and Mom thinks she's an employee, with a name badge and everything! They have a chef that creates real meals. Healthy and delicious! Mom eats now! Activities go on all day, everyday!! The residents are all out of their rooms and engaged. I've been to over 10 facilities, and though it was farther than I wanted to be away from Mom, but her care was most important and after numerous conversations with [names removed], I knew this was Mom's forever home.

This is by far the best facility for persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s. The staff truly care for the residents and everyone who works there is trained in care of those with dementia. Every resident is addressed by name and hugs are given to those wanting them. The meals are prepared onsite and look appetizing.
