AMHERST, Ohio — The Lorain County Public Health Department is keeping a close watch on the Amherst Manor as it has been cited with 10 health code violations this week.
“Everybody was pleasant, professional, encouraging, kind, empathetic, all the good stuff,” said Lukacho. “He almost didn't want to come home because they were always kind to him and he actually enjoyed the food quite a bit.” "The floor staff was amazing to me. I am only 45 years old, so it was hard for me, but they made me feel welcome and cared about," said Sanchez."The therapists were good to me and the administration people I dealt with were, as well. I can't speak for dealing with corporate or current administration, though I've been told there have been changes for the negative since I left. As to the nurses though, they were amazing.
Cabral said she was a patient at the Amherst Manor for several months earlier this year. She said her stay should have only been a few weeks, though. The plan of action states Amherst Manor must use single-service utensils and dishware for the time being, as well as take cooking utensils to a nearby facility for sanitation.
In a statement from the facility’s owner, Sprenger Healthcare, it says, “The Amherst Manor kitchen is undergoing a scheduled repair. The local health department was out and identified some issues with the process. Our staff was able to receive further education and our food service operations continue to run smoothly.”
