I have had my mother stay at Consulate in Cheswick and would recommend this facility as a place to go for rehab and nursing care. I had mother in a different nursing home up the street from Consulate who had a higher star rating and was very unhappy with their care. I tranferred my mom to consulate and am so happy with my choice. The nursing staff have been wonderful to me and my mom and provided excellent care. The therapy staff have also been great and helped improve my moms ambulation and strength. The food was ok and what we expected for a nursing home feeding over 100 people. When I read the negative comments below I have to disagree. My mom and I met many other residents there and they all had nothing but good to say about Consulate and their care. It sounds like a disgrentled employee wrote those comments. The DIrector of Nursing and Administrator were wonderful and friendly. During my moms stay they have showed their appreciation for their staff by buying them pizza, having cookouts and even had a Mary Kay Rep provide manicures with free gifts for the staff during their breaks. It is terrible how someone turned a good thing into a negative. Consulate recently had an appreciation event at Narsici Winery for MD's and other local hopsital staff as well. What a great idea! Also most places have designated parking spots for staff and doctors. Unfortunately the parking lot is very small and if you seen what the Administrator drove you would not park near anyone either. The staff there are good people and deserve some recognition. Overall the facility could use some cosmetic upgrades but it is clean. Consulate did wonders for my mother and I would choose them first if in need of nursing home care again. I give Consulate a 5 star!
