Beware ! Emeritus is in the process of being taken over by a new company.The recent changes are ominously indicating that things are taking a turn for the worse.
Recently after bringing my Father back to Emeritus from a late night outing , we couldn't get back in the place .
Turns out the security code had been changed.No one had notified my Father or I of this.My Dad and I couldn't get in the door for over 1o minutes.I had to go out in the rain and bang on the nurses station door to get someones attention .So we could finally be let back in his room.
The next day I kindly a ask the manager for the new security code .I was told she couldn't give it out and that next time I`d have to ring a doorbell anytime after 8 pm to be let in.
The truth of the matter is that by 8pm the place is deserted. No desk person , no security guard.Ridiculous that my Father and I are expected to somehow flag down staff via a doorbell as if its our fault for coming in late.
Add to that various requests for staff to WATCH MY FATHER TAKE HIS MEDICATION . Numerous times this has not been done as his meds have been found untaken and hidden in drawers and misplaced instead of taken.
My Father pays monthly rent for this service and now he cant even get get back into his own room without a hassle.
And the food.(don't get me started on that ) Another sign to stay away from this place. read more
