Vantage Senior Care

My dad and I choose Ellen's Home of Port Washington to care for my mother when her needs exceeded our ability to care for her at home. We were concerned that making a wrong choice at this time would be detrimental to all of us particularly my mother who had end stage Parkinsons. We were made aware of Ellen's Home by word of mouth. Turns out we did in fact make the right choice as the care my mother received in her short time (5 weeks+/-) at Ellen's was all we could hope for. The facility is as home like as such a facility can be and the staff is caring and compassionate. We are grateful for their efforts to make my mothers last weeks as comfortable as possible.

Great community with great staff and residents! Highly recommend.

Foxes Grove Staff and environment are amazing. The Activity Director goes above and beyond to provide an experience for the residents that most facilities don't provide. Some of this has included taking the residents out on trips, to the movies and out to restaurants. I am totally happy with all the friendly service I have recieved.

Very nice facility, very impressed. Really liked everything being on 1 floor. Mom's concern was that it was too far from friends & activities, that ultimately was the deciding factor.

I have been a resident here for almost a month. I moved here because a neighbor of mine moved here and said great things about it. There are so many things to do! It would be hard to just sit in your apartment....nor would you want to. There are plenty of activities and outings and the staff and residents are wonderful and fun. The food is delicious and the gardens are beautiful! I would encourage everyone to give Bethany Retirement Community a try!

We toured this community. We did visit and were going to move in, but there were some changes. The community is clean and maintained. The staff is so attentive and caring. They offer a nice variety of meals that are offered and a variety. They offer a lot of nice activities that would be nice if she is able to move in later on. We would recommend this community for the nice care and a good value for others.

My mother really likes Bethany. She says the staff are very nice and attentive and the food and activities are good. I highly recommend Bethany from what my mother has told me. I also have found the same to be true In regards to my own observations and interactions with staff and administration.

This is by far the best retirement living available for the price and location. I am blessed to be part of this community. [Removed]

This was very nice community I toured. The facility looked very nice and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant during the tour. They do offer nice activities for the residents. They do have a waiting list, but other then that I would recommend it.

This was a wonderful place and the director was super. The only reason we didnt choose here was because our need was now and there was a waiting list

I really like it. It's been really nice. The pricing was much better, than where we were. They had one of those sit in tub/spas, and she really likes that. She has farm field out her back window, that is perfect for her. I'm very pleased with it.

Ellen’s home is so warm caring and loving to their patients that I don’t even to worry about anything. My loved one just stayed in her bed, but now she’s up and active all the time. The food is awesome - it’s like restaurant quality food.

Overall we've had a great experience with Bethany Retirement! It's a smaller community and it has a really tight knit community feel. Everyone is very friendly and they all look out for one another! The staff are fantastic and genuinely seem to care about the residents. They're very responsive to any issues or concerns that residents or families bring to them. They do seem a bit short staffed at times, and we've had some issues with tasks and requests not get passed along between day and evening staff shifts, but they are obviously doing their best. Another thing I'd like to see them improve is making their two beautiful garden areas more accessible to those in wheelchairs (it can be a little difficult to get over the lip of the door) We would highly recommend them, they do a great job here and my loved one really seems to love it!

It's like a poor persons', upscale assisted living. It's very nice and they are doing a good job. We are pretty happy with it. I give them a high score.

I like it a lot! I really like Wendy and I think they've been communicating well.

They were absolutely fantastic with my mom. Everyone is just so sincere and seemed to take a real special interest in her. The value is really hard to figure out because they made room for my mom. I was so desperate and I needed to find a place. They brought in a bed for my mom and she and another woman shared a room. The idea was to transfer her to the Ellen's Home in Germantown but my mom suffered a stroke and we just couldn't move her.

They were fantastic! I wanted my mother there so bad! It was maybe 10 minutes tops from my house. What really impressed me was the director, Elaine. She was just phenomenal. She took the time to talk to me and she even went to the hospital to do an evaluation of my mom. She worked really hard to get us in there. I thought she was really great. She seemed to really care.

We're very happy there, the cleanliness is good, don't get the wrong idea, it's just an old building, but it's good. The staff is really, really friendly, really nice, the care seems to be excellent, my mother is really happy there and she's actually doing better since she's been there. She's doing activities, she's engaged there. The value... we didn't expect to find a place that's close to us, that she likes that much and that she can afford. The food, that's another one, She says it's great but I'm not sure, but she's happy with it, her only complaint is that they give her too much.

Cleanliness is a real good thing here, not just the rooms but they're redoing some of the hallways because they have carpet on some of the floors and that was a problem. But more so the patients and my mom in particular is so much better kept although she is assisted living and doesn't need a lot more help she does need a little and she's much more well done. She has incontinency issues so that being said she's much more well kept. Her living quarters are spotlessly clean and the common areas are real clean. She's in the memory care group and they meet daily, monday through friday and it seems to be beneficial. The people there are extremely kind, they're just always pleasant and caring. It is older, old fashioned furniture, old wood, heavier stuff but there's a nice enclosed garden that my mom has had fun going to. She's walking better, eating better, has no resistance as far as taking her medicine, her memory is going but she's happy.

It's a lot of money but it's worth it to spend. She's being taken care of 24/7 and I think that she's very well placed. They have more staff and there's more structured activity. I would recommend it to anybody, they kind of view the home as the residents home, not as a place that they work at so they try to find out thigns about the residents like what they were interested in before they were stricken by Alzheimer's or dementia. My mother liked to sew so they went and got something like a child's sewing kit to keep her mind going and they cook and they do everything they are able to do at their stage of the disease. The staff all has a sense of humor, they are very lighthearted, they know how to deal with people with advancing disease and they know that residents aren't really in control of what they do or say so they're very well equipped.
