Mt Alverno Center

Mt. Alverno is very clean. The staff seemed to be welcoming and happy. I placed Mother there for three nights. The rooms were very nice and large.

They.take wonderful care of my uncle and aunt

Mount Alverno Center is 5 minutes away from my house. I like its location, cleanliness and the staff. It's run by the Catholic charities. The nuns walk around and the staff members are really cheerful. My mother's a Catholic so it worked out that way too. There are doctors right there and hospitals right next door. My mom has an apartment with a little living room, a separate bedroom, and a separate bathroom. We're up on the mountains so the scenery is nice. The facility is nursing-homey-looking but the grounds are pretty, with a garden in it. My mom also likes the food there but I guess the facility can improve on having their residents do more activities.

I wouldn't put my dog in Mt. Alverno. My dad was in the facility for a year and we finally moved him. It's old and run down, the administrator was a nightmare on wheels, the food was horrible and the atmosphere depressing. My dad was educated and articulate and wanted more stimulation than activities like "pass the hot potato" game and other silly nonsense! The rooms are old convent rooms that only have a hospital curtain for privacy between patients, horrible!! If you want excellent care for your aged parent or grandparent than my advice is to definitely look elsewhere!!!

We tour Mount Alverno and it is a very bright and home-like community. The care is excellent because I also know some who lives in this facility. The facility is very clean. All the staff are warm & friendly. They also have an elegant dinning area. It's like in the restaurant. A great place to visit.
