The Sugarbush House

I toured Sugarbush House #1. It was like three different houses. The one we went to has a lot of ramps and stuff in it. My mother uses a walker, so that wasn't going to be a good place for her at all. They said they have people that can help them and stuff. It was more like a group home. Each has a ...

I toured Sugarbush House #1. It was like three different houses. The one we went to has a lot of ramps and stuff in it. My mother uses a walker, so that wasn't going to be a good place for her at all. They said they have people that can help them and stuff. It was more like a group home. Each has a small bedroom, and then they would share a bathroom. It's just like an older home that has been modified. The staff who assisted me with the tour was nice.

I love Sugarbush! So thankful for the staff as we navigate the care for my husband’s progression of late stage Alzheimer’s. Wonderful communication any time I’ve reached out and so appreciative of their coordination with Hospice staff to provide the best possible care; even through swift changes of his needs. They felt like family…. Immediately. 😇

I would like to say thank you to the Sugarbush staff. They genuinely care about the residents. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom. They arrange for fun singers to come in and have fun activities. They are really good at communicating with the family as well.

Sugarbush House #1 was a much older place, and it was not attractive at all. However, the staff, the young woman I talked to, and the people I saw interacting with the folks, I'd give them a five.

Sugarbush House #1 was a much older place, and it was not attractive at all. However, the staff, the young woman I talked to, and the people I saw interacting with the folks, I'd give them a five. Depending upon your lifestyle, your regular lifestyle, it could be very, very nice for some people. It used to be a great, big, white house, it was across the street which used to be in an area which was fabulous 20 or 30 years ago and things changed and the building that it was in. It just kind of overlooked a parking lot. They had a nice little deck out back for people to walk out onto. Aesthetically, it wasn't my type of place. The people appeared to do very, very well, the few residents that I saw there seemed to be happy. The staff seemed to be engaging. So that part of it was pretty good. It's just, it wasn't pretty enough. I saw someone's room and it was crowded with their stuff. They brought their things in and it was clean. It seemed to me they had a half bath in their room and then the shower was down the hall. So they must assist everybody with their showers and things, and I didn't like that.

Sugarbush House #1 is like a private home back in an older neighborhood. The woman was very knowledgeable, she was kind. It's just not the place for my dad.

Sugarbush House #1 is like a private home back in an older neighborhood. The woman was very knowledgeable, she was kind. It's just not the place for my dad. I found the place dirty, I didn't like that being blind he would have to walk across the hall to find a bathroom that someone else was using also. I want my father to have his own private room and bathroom facilities. The residents were having lunch, it looks like they were having a very nice lunch. The woman who showed me the facility, she did not have any paperwork like I asked her, she just took me on the tour and talked. I took notes, and that was it. The outside had weeds all over that were coming through the cracks of the cement. I thought the room they showed me looked like it was dirty, it hadn't been updated, and I didn't like it at all.
