7 Assisted Living Communities in Ward County, North Dakota

M. Brown

My mother entered this facility after having been in a larger community. I immediately noticed an improvement in her personal care and hygiene. The staff are very kind to the residents. Plus, it feels more like a home setting and less institutional.

They only clean the rooms once a week the staff is mostly 20 year old kids most of the activities have been taken away the administrator has most of her family working there the food is usually cold and tasteless I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone

Since 428 took over Margate Manor all amenities and service dropped to a One Star. They advertise social activities…. They advertise chauffeured drivers… They advertise on site beauty salon/barber shop…. They advertise gourmet meals with snacks…. They advertise outdoor activities with lakeside view…. All of the above are non existent!!!! Doors are locked to outside near lake, no activities are done outside. They removed the shuttle bus… no drivers to take patients anywhere! Parking lot is full of holes and completely dark at night. No security… anyone can walk into facility at night, the so called medical techs are not at front desk. The thermometer for visitors to be screened for fever, has not worked in 6 months!! Elevator is so old, it smells and is dirty. Techs don’t watch patients take their pills, my Moms pills were often found on floor and under her recliner. I can’t tell you how many meals my Mom didn’t receive if she wasn’t feeling well to go to dining room…. They never brought her food to her.. Dinner was sometimes a cheese sandwich, hot dog with loose potatoe chips, they stopped serving the small bag of chips. They would put loose chips on plate, with no regard to patient’s dietary needs. Low salt was always a problem for my Mom. Then this is how they conserve money, they removed the 5 gal water jugs and hard lined a water line to internal faucets. So my Mom was drinking from the sink water and they once told my Mom to get water from the bathroom sink!!!! How disgusting so I brought her bottled water and that would disappear from her room. I finally had enough and after we received a letter of rent increase and downgraded services, I took my Mom with me with better care!!! No weekly happy hour, no local entertainment or stimulating activities. All the previous staff quit or was fired after long tenures. Keep your parents away from this 1 Star facility….it has become a nightmare!!!

The staff is lovely. It is a small facility that feels more like a home. My father loved the food. It has been a smooth transition with my father during a rough time. I want to thank the staff so much.

You don't need it

DO NOT move there. They keep jacking UP the RENT there! My mother hasn't lived there long and as soon as she moved in? Her rent started going up. It went up again. She got the notice the other day. Unbelievable!!! They do NOT want you there obviously. They want you to move out. DO NOT MOVE THERE! Outrageous Rent Hikes ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

This place has been horrible! My mom fell and broke a hip, then tested positive for covid at 90. Was transferred here from the hospital..NO COMMUNICATION AT ALL WITH THE FAMILY! I finally went and complained to the director and bingo !got calls from nurse, doctor, therapy , dietician and social worker ! It is horrible that you have to go to these measures especially when your loved one is in isolation due to covid! Not to mention everytime you call you get cut off ! I pray my mom gets out of here fast ..or maybe since my complaint they will be more communitive! Mom had previously been in Autumn lake in Crofton ..rehab was good ..and she developed a nice relationship with her roommate which helped the days go by ..food was adequate..things just seemed better..

The place has no one watching the dementia patients. Theres nothing for them to do. the place is dirty no staff, the rooms need serious cleaning and work done. I would not put a person I dislike in this facility. It is only about the money, not about the patient and that is SAD. Worse mistake ever taking a loved one there. Could not wait till they got out of there.

I chose Jacob\'s tender Loving Care after touring their facility. My mother has severe arthritis in her hips and we could no longer properly care for her. Here\'s why I chose them. I liked that it\'s a small facility with 24/7 nurse and caring staff. It\'s a clean facility, it doesn\'t have that institutionalized smell. We had a private furnished room with closet. All we had to bring were her clothes and personal items. Great food and they made adjustments to suit my mother\'s likes. Very helpful with getting her medications transferred and delivered to her. Liberal visiting hours. They also helped arrange for hospice care. They are easy to work with and answered all our questions and concerns.
