What Patients (Short Term Post-Surgery) Have to Say
Satisfaction Surveys are distributed to all discharging patients. This information is invaluable and helps us monitor how well we are doing. Below are comments from the Short Term Stay Survey.

"....During my stay at Marianwood, the staff treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy. The waiters in the kitchen and dining areas were also very nice and tried their best to please all of the requests of the patients. Any hospital stay is somewhat stressful, but the attitude of the staff here is both compassionate and friendly. Were I to need this type of care again at some time in the future, Marianwood would be my destination of choice."

"....We found the staff highly competent and responsive, kind and skillful. We particularly liked how well people worked together. Requests to talk to a nurse, nurse practitioner, or doctor were always honored."

"....All my aides were good. I loved my room and atmosphere. I shall remember each who served me. Thank all of entire staff and God bless. A beautiful facility."

"....Food was prepared so well; was just to my liking! The kitchen staff should have extra thanks. I actually was able to gain a bit! Keep up the good work! It was a good rest! Love the cats also."

What Residents (Long Term Care) Have to Say
All residents able to participate, are interviewed quarterly by an unbiased source. Long term care residents are fairly content. Many state they "feel safe" and that their caregivers "are all good." When asked "What do you like most about Marianwood?" this what we were told:

"....the help I get; the staff is kind."

"....the variety of things like activities, church, TV, entertainment."

"....The food is good."

"....Freedom to go to activities."

"....Good care and good weather." (Not sure we can take credit for the weather!)
