I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom is at Gurwin Jewish - Fay J. Lindner Residences. She's getting decent care. I felt that the place looked a little tired. The management's style is maybe a little weak, but nothing to the detriment of the residents that are there. The facility is nice and kept clean. They serve three meals a day, and there are two seatings for each, which I feel is a little clunky for the people who have to go early in the morning. The first seating is a little tough, and the residents have to get used to that.

I visited this facility

I gave one star because the rating system would not accept zero stars. The facility is FILTHY, the staff doesn’t seem to care, as evidenced by the lack of basic housekeeping (we were shown a vacant apartment that had garbage strewn on the floor, including used Q-tips. Many staff members are unvaccinated. The place had an institutional, warehouse vibe. Residents were supposedly required to be masked when they were not eating or engaged in activities yet that rule was not being enforced. There are too many residents,…

This facility has been very slow to adapt to the COVID 19 regulations. They keep All residents in lockdown Except for 2 hours a day for two or three days a week. Family’s cannot visit through the windows unless they make an appt and they only allow one family a day at 4:00. I have only been able to get an appt less than once per week. There has been no entertainment, music, exercise classes provided live even though their is a huge courtyard where these things could occur without anybody even coming outside. They o…

Great Meals!!

I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she has made the move into this community . The staff are always polite and I am comfortable with the care they have provided her. She has been enjoying the meals and I am hoping that she gets more involved in some of the activities in the future . Overall she is happy and I would recommend it to anyone.

I visited this facility

I visited Gurwin Jewish for my sister. My mother lived at Gurwin Assisted Living until she died, and my husband is in Gurwin Rehab, so Gurwin has been in and remains in my family. I was in love with this place when my mother was there. I like the community, but it brought back memories that were very positive but also painful. My concern with Gurwin was specific to my sister; I felt that it was very crowded, larger than the other community we visited, and had a lot of movement with people congregating in the lobby …

My grandma was a resident there from 2010 until she passed away in 2013... Gurwin isn't all its shaped up to be.. My grandma died because of the lack of care and help from this place.. She had trouble swallowing solid foods so they pureed everything into what looked like vomit. They gave her medicine to her at different times everyday.. Nothing was consistent.. When she moved into the unit where dementia/alzheimers patiences were we thought she would have gotten more of one on one treatment.. My family and I w…
