ALTERCARE OF BUCYRUS CENTER FO

..could not ask for better management...DON Elizabeth is the best she's very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from her..she is always there for the staff and for the residents....and 3rd shift nurse Malinda she is so sweet with the residents she takes her time with each of them and really gets to know them... There is a lot of great people that work there I am grateful for the time .

My mother has been a resident at Altercare Bucyrus for the past 9 months. I have no complaints.The care she has received from every department has exceeded my expectations. I would especially like to acknowledge the aides and nurses who work on Speret Hall. The patience, kindness, and compassion you display to the residents and their families does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.

We can't say enough for all of the care that has been provided our family members while they have been at Altercare! All of the nursing staff are very attentive and caring. The STNAs are amazing! They are so caring and go above and beyond with their patients! The attention given is top notch! They know each and every one of their patients well and know how to redirect and handle each situation in a respectful and appropriate manner. Dr. Becky Strickland has been amazing. She provides exceptional oversight and is always willing to meet with family upon requests. I appreciate her communication style in dealing with patients and families. The support staff is always friendly and helpful when requests are made and will address issues/challenges that come up with respect and a smile! The Director is very caring, kind and courteous. She has been so helpful and willing to spend time with clients until all questions are answered. Thanks to all for your kindness and care....you all are AMAZING! Krista Gerhart

I particularly like the therapy department. They are doing a fantastic job with my mother. The nursing staff and the aids are doing a good job as well. They are nice. I do feel that the aids could use an extra hand or two, as with any nursing home.

I was there for 24 hours. I was supposed to stay there for about 2 or 3 weeks for rehab. Im diabetic. The staff, including a nurse left me sitting in my room for over 4 hours. I hadnt eaten yet and wad having problems with my sugar going too low. I went out to the desk and told them I was having problems with my sugar going too low and that I needed to either eat something or drink some juice. They were laughing and talking and didnt seem to see me standing there nor heard me. Long story short...they finally brought me juice. The bed looked like it was from the 50's. Ive got a bad back and have had 3 surgeries...it was just a big flop. Very unprofessional. Never again will I use that establishment.
