My mother had to stay there (Sudbury) for almost six months and passed away there. I visited her every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. During that time I saw quite a view very concerning things. The bottom line is that many of the socalled caregivers there don't really care at all about the residents. They are there to collect a paycheck, period. So many times I would see "caregivers" at the nurses station chatting away while patients would call and call for help, and the chatters could even be bothered for a minute or two to attend to the patients calling for help. Several times I would go up to a nurse to ask for help for my mother and I was told, "That's not my job." and there would be no other nurses or aids in sight for a long time. The communication there between staff and caregivers is terrible -- I would try to convey important info about my mother to a caregiver, asking that he and she would please make sure that the other caregivers would be informed, and it never, ever happened. My mother was ignored completely for long periods as she declined. This is NOT a good place, it's awful -- do all you can to find better care for your loved one. read more
