Our Board of Directors, CEO, Finance Officer, Marketing etc are not able to adequately answer what I consider a reasonable question. Here it is and I've been asking this question for the past 2-3 years and other residence have expressed the same frustration over the same issue long before I got here. "How are our Monthly Fees determined"? What elements/cost factors make up a determination to charge a particular monthly fee (which increases every year)? All we get is "it's complicated." Or some vague well it's, not just square footage, it's other things but they cannot, or chose not, to delineated those factors. Worse yet, if they don't know, we need someone else handling our management. We pay our CEO very handsomely ($250K annually) and to not be able to tell the people paying his salary how they are being billed is unconscionable to me and causes questions about handling of funds. Before signing to live here, I asked the same question and still couldn't get an answer and if I declined to sign, they would just go to the next person on a long waiting list. I had already waited 5 years. So even though I signed, I felt I had not choice if I wanted to live here. Maybe you can get an answer! If so, please Post and advertise.

The Arbor Healthcare center is in desperate need of the board's intervention!…read moreWe have recently lost our DON (director of nursing) and Administrator. The turn over of Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (C.N.A.) is overwhelming and never been seen at our facility before! They need a change from top down and do something to attract and retain staff. A sign-on bonus and retention bonus would be a start. Along with shift differentials for staff working 2nd & 3rd shifts. This is becoming too stressful for current staff having to work extra hours to fill in for vacancies. We've even had to bring in Agency Nurses for coverage. Something we've never done before here at GR.

This home flat out stole from my grandmother and was physically abused by both Med Techs and Aids…read more When we initially toured the place a few months ago the management sold a complete, blatant LIE. We were told that residents would be given one-on-one care and attention, like hair brushing, etc. Yeah, right... Aids don't even talk to residents, let alone stimulate them. Let's start with the fact that no one wears a name tag so that they cannot be identified by patients. They assume that everyone is suffering from dementia and can no longer read. They have ZERO CARE for any patient. Pain medication isn't administered when it should be, med techs have horrible attitudes and sit in the beauty parlor talking to one another rather than paying attention to family members asking medication to be administered (took over an hour for someone to come, and we were met with a literal "what do you want?"), food is taken away from residents when they don't eat, rather than coaxing attempts to help them eat. My grandmother's diamond and emerald ring was stole right off her finger, and when we were shocked and asked where it was we were told "oh, well because the residents are demented they often give their things away." The ring was tight on her finger and she would have never, ever, taken it off. We know that a med tech stole it right off her person. The attitude of everyone working there disgusts me. Since residents are mostly demented they treat them like absolute garbage. It's true abuse, and we will be riding a complaint all the way to the county and beyond. My grandmother's hospice nurse came the day after she was removed and was shocked at how much her demeanor Do not send your loved one here. It is a true hell hole and should be shut down. Disgusting.

All seating right now is outside, but it is quite limited for how busy this place can be. On a Saturday night, we saw people taking their drinks across the street to sit because there was too few seats right outside. The staff who helped us was incredibly personable and entertaining! She made us laugh as we ordered our drinks and brought dogs around to different people around the brewery. Our drinks were pretty good. I got the Honeysuckle Cider which was very a very mild flavor that wasn't too sweet. It was very refreshing. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a chill place to hang out and drink with friends. There are plenty of dogs people bring, so get ready to make some furry friends. If you have family coming into town, take them here!
