I'm giving them one star because the director of nursing, the admissions coordinator, the dietician, and very few staff members were actually really great!
HOWEVER, the quality of day to day care was absolutely horrible and frightening for my mom and my daughter who stayed with her the first 6 days of her care. After day one, my mom wanted to leave by day two she was so determined to leave she went above and beyond what PT and OT were asking her to do so she could get out asap. She went in on a Monday and left that Thursday the same week. She really needed 2 weeks of care after a major abdominal surgery.
In addition to poor care, their food was something from the 1950's - a lot fried, greasy, salty food and sugary desserts!! My mom had 2 feet of her small intestines taken out and needed to be on a diet that was completely the opposite of what they served. My mom eats healthy foods and needed a lactose-free, gluten-free, low sodium, no sugar diet and this place could not meet her dietary needs. I could not believe the type of unhealthy food they served the elderly.
Thankfully my daughter was there to advocate for her. Unfortunately, the staff did not care. Multiple times they got my mom's food wrong, even after we were told it would be changed. I even had some food delivered from the local grocery store that would meet her dietary needs and they still got it wrong. Multiple times, my daughter was the one helping her to the bathroom, giving her a shower, and getting her the food she needed. My daughter should have been the one getting paid because she did the majority of their work for them.
Housekeeping, especially in the bathrooms, was not sanitary.
If my daughter had not been there, I truly believe my mother's health would have declined because she would not have been able to eat, she would not have been able to get to the bathroom in time or have a clean bathroom to do her business, and they would have just kept her doped up on meds.
I would NOT recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more
