I would not recommend Linden Grove for post-surgery rehabilitation. This facility operates as a…read morenursing home and was not appropriate for the level of care my father required after major surgery. Overall, our experience at Linden Grove was deeply disappointing. If you are seeking attentive care, proper rehabilitation support, and a clean, well-maintained environment after surgery, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I realize this review is lengthy and may seem extreme, but it reflects our experience. I strongly encourage anyone considering Linden Grove to tour the facility in person before making a decision. Seeing the environment, cleanliness, and level of care firsthand is essential. All you need to do is walk one of the hallways, and you will understand. Staffing was clearly inadequate, and patient responsiveness was poor. When the call button was pressed, it consistently took 15 minutes or more for staff to respond. For a post-surgical patient, this delay is unsafe and unacceptable. My father was on a stool medication which causes diarrhea, and he had two accidents in his bed because no one came to help him to the bathroom. Then they tried to humiliate him with rude and insensitive comments, but I shut that down real fast!!! Post-surgical instructions were NOT followed. Every day, I had to ask the nurses to read the instructions. One of the things my father was required to do was walk the hallway at least 4 times per day for 5-10 minutes to help build stamina in his lungs and also prevent pneumonia. I was told this was not a feasible request, since he was on oxygen and a feeding tube, yet when he was in the hospital, they managed this just fine. Instead, he only got out of his room for 45 minutes/day for PT (except weekends). Hygiene was a serious concern. My father was told he could shower every other day, yet he often went 3-4 days without a shower or even a basic wipe-down. I had to beg the nurses to help him. At one point, I finally told them, if they don't help him with showers, I will do it myself! This lack of basic hygiene is alarming and shows a lack of attention to patient dignity and care. The room itself was lacking in quality and basic furnishings. There was a standard hospital bed but no chair or recliner to sit in--residents were expected to sit in their wheelchairs as their only seating option. For the type of surgery my father had, he was required to be in a reclining chair for at least six hours a day, which this facility could not provide. We were also told he would receive bed rails to help him sit up independently. Despite multiple requests and repeated promises from nursing staff, this never happened. We escalated our concerns to both the nursing director and the physician assistant, yet the issue was never resolved. The facility is very run-down and poorly maintained. The smell throughout the building--mentioned in other reviews--is absolutely accurate. There is also no ice machine available to patients or families; instead, you must ask a nurse to scoop ice from a hallway cooler, which feels outdated and unhygienic. Although my father was on a feeding tube, we saw the meals provided to his roommate, and the quality was extremely poor. Examples included a very small hamburger with about ten potato chips, a cold cheese sandwich with half a canned pear slice, PB&J sandwiches, and Campbell's chicken noodle soup. Overall, the food was subpar compared to other facilities we have experienced. Another concerning issue was linen handling. Used towels, bedding, and rags were placed on the floor under the bathroom sink (there was no linen hamper) and left there until housekeeping collected them the next day. I do not understand why a basic linen hamper was not provided. I will be submitting a report to DSHS, and encourage others to do the same if they have had similar experiences. This place needs updating and new management!

The other half of them that come in don't care to do their job and will be on their phones, talk badly to the elderly that live at the rivers and there is no disciplinary action. I don't even know where to start but we recently took my grandmother out of there and I wish we had done it sooner. They went without management for 9 months which tells you a lot about the work environment and how people don't want to work for them, so they hire anyone with a heartbeat! My grandma pressed pendent because she was needed to use the bathroom and is in a wheel chair, and NO ONE CAME! She had to call me because she had then urinated on herself and I called the MEAN LADY AT THE FRONT DESK and she didn't care. I had to come down and help her myself. I had asked to get a meeting with the lady from corporate that comes in, but that never happened. It's a revolving door as far as caregivers go, and when they would come in and help my grandmother they would TALK BADLY ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT AND WHO EVER THAT LADY IS THAT COMES IN TO SIT IN AS THE DIRECTOR . she just locks herself in her office anyway. She never comes out to talk to us or anyone else, since she got there we could tell the place was going down hill.

This place is always clean, no elderly smell and no chemical smell covering up any sort of smell. The staff is kind and always friendly. The grounds are kept well. They provide 3 meals a day in the dining room and it always nice. My mom has made friends and calls bingo. She is active and no longer living alone waiting for someone to stop by and break up the monatoney. She has a social life for the first time in a long time. Yet she has her own apartment and privacy. This place has been a terrific option for my mom since living alone is not an option anymore but neither is giving up her independence. This is the best of both worlds.

I urge you not to consider this facility. On the surface, Willow Gardens presents as a friendly,…read morecaring, and well-run institution, truly interested in your well-being. However, these values are paper-thin and are demonstrated by the following observations: * FOOD: Portion sizes are extremely small and are often more on the child-size. It is highly unlikely that the daily calorie requirements are satisfied by the sizes provided by the kitchen. Although residents can ask for "seconds", they must wait for the completion of the entire food-service only to discover nothing is left. Making things worse, management is often observed taking "double-sized" portions while residents eat undersized portions. Food is heavily based on carbohydrates with little attention to fruits, vegetables, protein, etc. And deserts are heavily vetted on cookies! * HOUSEKEEPING: WG claims to be guided by an incredibly detailed checklist, but their small housekeeping staff only permits 20-minute limit to complete a superficial job. And, they have limited service to once every two weeks during the Covid crisis, with further limitations on an already reduced service! * MAINTENANCE: Service takes a long time. A simple light bulb will take 3 weeks to complete. However, I have to give them credit for acting quickly on urgent things like heat. But, management hampers the ability of maintenance to act quickly. For instance, sprinklers cannot be repaired because management claims to be "bidding" the project. Consequently, we have flooded sidewalks, at times. * MANAGEMENT: Managers are new and inexperienced at large hospitality facility management. They readily pacify residents with "we're doing the best we can" and "we're working on it" excuses. While they hold resident meetings, they do not readily seek out resident perspectives on their needs or satisfaction. * APPEARANCE: As I walk around the facility, little things pop-out that signal problem. Pictures are not hung at the same height. Dust is everywhere. Chairs are askew, and clutter hallways. Managers are sitting at their desks, not walking around interacting with residents. Smells from the rooms can be pretty obnoxious, at times. Some residents have reported obnoxious smells from resident rooms. So, why am I here? Well, it's for an entirely different reason. Other things overcome these obstacles. It has to do with location and the offerings that would give away my identity, but these problems are still overwhelming and deserve mentioning. I suspect, though, that I'll be shopping after the crisis.

They basically keep you stuck here with little to no resources for leaving unless you get placed in an adult family home. Their pharmaceutical provider doesn't listen to patients and will not provide any information when trying to get ssi or ssdi. If you already have ssi they will take all but $70 of your check. The new director "Candace" has turned it more so into a prison like environment and has no knowledge of trauma informed care, so if you're suffering from ptsd like me this is not the place for you. They do not treat ADHD rather the symptoms of it. They took me off of the only medication that helped my panic attacks within days of being here, while a different person who looked different than me was kept on it for multiple weeks if not months. I have seen an actual doctor all but three times since being here almost a year. Being homeless and having no options for housing aside from here makes them highly capable of taking advantage of some of the most vulnerable individuals. Do not seek care here they are not a good residential facility, they treat individuals like criminals rather than human beings who suffer mental health illnesses. I want to express my current state of distress and concern regarding my safety and well-being in this environment. Unfortunately, I no longer feel safe here and have been experiencing a sense of being threatened and singled out. It has come to my attention that there are extreme double standards at play, which have further contributed to my unease. I feel compelled to raise the issue of Candace's lack of trauma-informed care and knowledge about mental health conditions, particularly concerning my own struggles. Her actions have resulted in me feeling harassed and bullied, specifically due to her disregard for my anxiety and trauma response around food and large crowds or groups of people. As a result, my panic attacks have significantly increased in frequency and intensity since she implemented her rigid and harsh approach towards me. I kindly request that my concerns be taken seriously, as they greatly impact my overall well-being and ability to thrive in this environment. It is crucial that steps are taken to create a safer and more supportive space for individuals dealing with mental health challenges. I hope for a resolution that ensures my housing stability and promotes a more compassionate and understanding approach for everyone involved.
