Our experience with Lorien Harmony Hall was very cold and corporate. The executive team lacked…read moreempathy and compassion for our father who was in critical need of assisted living support. In August, we expressed interest in Lorien Harmony Hall for our father, who really liked the place when we toured. In October, Lorien's Executive Director, Victoria Rosier, decided to deny my father's admission based on an arbitrary clinical assessment that he needed sub-acute rehab first. They did not acknowledge current medical records, or clinical staff attempts to work with Harmony Hall for direct admission. The appropriate action would have been a peer-to-peer clinical discussion to clarify any questions. However, as the clinical case worker put it "they just don't want to take him". Our family invested $4500 in the community fee, had countless emails with Lorien over the course of two months only to be denied by email for an acute incident. When I told the Executive Director, Victoria Rosier, how disappointing this was, she said she was sorry we felt this way and our $4500 check was waiting at the concierge's desk. The entire experience was devastating and left us and our loved ones without planned support. While I believe the sales director, Chelsea, tried really hard to advocate for our family, I do not believe she has the support of her leadership team or the freedom to make executive decisions. She often had to get confirmation from her Executive Director, Victoria Rosier, to finalize any agreements. My experience with Victoria was not pleasant, she was often rigid and lacked the compassion expected of a healthcare executive. She also did not show the ability to be strategic to achieve a common goal, which was helping our father find as safe and welcoming home. My only advice to anyone is if you are looking for a compassionate team that will work to serve your family's needs, look somewhere else.
