Nice facility, very sweet and wonderful residents. Very incompetent administration. This lady Angela who is a secretary there, was a total B and I'm censoring it. The lady who ran the place was keeping an eye on me for no reason and when she thought I was not doing my job she goes back and tell the people at the agency that I work for a bunch of lies. I was stressed out so I left. I don't want to go back and work for them at all.

I am so thankful to the wonderful, caring staff at the Altenheim. My mother was at the Altenheim for two years before she died and my family could not have been more pleased with the wonderful care that she received.

They have The potential of being a great place but they have a prejudice rude maintenance man who has the person who runs the building in their pocket. I was picked on by him, even attempted to intimidate me by staring me down every time he came near me. When I finally stood up for myself with plenty of witnesses around he threatened me and told me he runs that building and I would never work there again. He was right. Even with witnesses saying what he did, how he rudly talked to me..... I was told to leave not even by the person that was supposed to tell me. They then told my agency they had

I highly recommend The Altenheim to anyone looking for a safe, compassionate and caring place for themselves or a loved one to live. It has several care options to meet the needs of each individual, and a variety of wonderful amenities and activities. However, it's the staff that make it stand apart. They treat each resident with the utmost respect, dignity and professionalism. To them, its more than just a job, its a passion and a calling.

My grandfather lives here. They really care and it is wonderful. He has good meals and they have lots of activities. He's 97 his birthday, Oct. 2019. We go out every Tuesday with my mom for lunch. He's pretty active for his age.
