Lisa Miller
DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES TO THIS FACILITY!!! My mother DIED from complications related to the Stage 4 bed sore (pressure ulcer) she received due to the gross negligence of the nursing staff who was supposedly "caring" for her. June 5, a wound care doctor noted that she was at HIGH RISK for a pressure sore and advised the nursing staff to utilize all protocols to protect her from injury. Seven days later, my mom had a Stage 3 sore, and within a week that same sore had progressed to Stage 4. My mother fought through multiple infections and complications resulting from those infections for two months. The last month, she was clinging to life as her organs slowly began failing. Sadly, she lost her battle on September 28. THIS FACILITY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!!! What do you like most about living here? Answer: Horrible Are there enough caregivers to handle the residents' needs, especially during emergencies? Answer: No Are the common areas pleasant and comfortable for socializing or relaxing? Answer: Yes How would you rate the quality and variety of the meals? (1-5) Answer: 1 Are special diets handled well? Answer: Is the dining schedule flexible enough to meet your preferences? Answer: How do you feel about the level of social interaction available with other residents? Answer: N/A How was the units offered in this community? Answer: N/A Do you feel safe living in this community? Answer: No How well do you think the community handles emergencies or unexpected events? Answer: N/A Are there any hidden fees or unexpected charges? Answer: N/À Would you recommend this community to others looking for senior living options? Answer: NO Is there anything you wish you knew before moving in? Answer: DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!!
