I have been toggling back and forth knowing this review needs to be done rather than not done.
The one star was earned and you will read why. It all started as a referral thru a program called Mastercare. Glen Park was suggested to me. As I was searching for places my mother-in-law would thrive in or at least be safe in a memory care recieving 24 hour care as needed.
I was my mother-in-laws sole caregiver and I was exhausted trying to provide 24 hour care alone. The thought that she would receive 24 hour care worked for me.
I scheduled a tour with Wendy Wheeler for December 9, 2025 at 10am. I was sold on everything regarding the care my mother-in-law would recieve. I soon later felt I was lied to. I was showen a room with beautiful paint on the walls, everything looked new bathroom look bigger than mine at home I was wow beautiful room, nice beds. I figured that was a plus for my mother-in-law. I did a tour in the garden area, entertainment room where I was told that memory care can also be apart of. One of my big questions was how many residents are there in memory care? There was 9 residente at the time of my mother-in-laws move in date. How many caregivers are there in memory care? 4 caregivers I was told.
My biggest concern was the distance. So I could visit often rather than not. I was excited she'd be 30 minutes or so away from me if she needed me which worked out perfectly.
Moving forward All paperwork was taken care of and my mother-in-laws move in date was January 15, 2026.
Glen Park of Long Beach picked Us up at 10 am using there transportation. Wendy Wheeler came with 2 others as they assisted me getting my mother-in-laws belongings within minutes. I rode with my mother-in-law so I could move her in and spend time with her before just leaving her there. Her and I had not been separated since 2019 I have been her full time caregiver. I felt horrible knowing I was transitioning her from home to a facility care.
Wendy Wheeler soon disappeared once my mother-in-law was on the property of Glen Park of Long Beach. Wendy Wheeler never replied to my text she soon blew me off. I was disappointed and in shock.
My mother-in-laws medication was not being administered. She went days without half of her meds. Even Tylenol for the arthritis pain. I kept asking and talking to GiGi the nurse who really could not tell me nothing but sorry! She's the only nurse.
within days my mother-in-law was in the hospital. She complained of abdominal pain. She was sent back to facility from hospital results nothing was found. My mother-in-law was sent back to hospital this time she had an UTI and plaqued with arthritis she was in pain in her arms and legs. She was sent back to facility this time with a catheter. (I asked questions as to why did she have catheter no one knew nothing) durning the first visit to hospital my mother-in-law stopped walking stating she was in pain in legs and arms. She all of no where becsme imboile.
As far as caregivers on the floor in memory care there was only one I was surprised if there was two caregivers. There were times no one was in memory care and I had to wait for someone to return so I could be let out. Caregivers were overwhelmed. They litterally said it.
From the 15th of january my mother-in-law was in the hospital numerous times. February 6, 2026 was my mother-in-laws last day at facility. Facility sent her out due to bed wounds and horrible wounds on the back of her feet. My mother-in-law was left in bed for numerous hours without food without being changed. I needed help. I called my mother-in-laws care manager and asked her to visit my mother-in-law so she could see my concern. I needed help advocating her health. They allowed my mother-in-law to lay in bed without any of her ADL's being met, without being repositioned. Her heels were leaking. They looked horrible. I felt guilty for sending her there I've never seen neglect like that.
February 28, 2026 I moved her belongings out. But noticed 3 new sets of pajamas was missing. I gave Wendy Wheeler a inventory list of each piece of clothing that I brought in. And at the end of the day. I couldn't have my mother-in-laws belongings back. There was no accountability. No one knew where her clothes were.
I contacted the liscening department who could investigate photos were taken of my mother-in-laws condition. I'm thankful she is not there anymore. In less than a month of being at Glen Park of Long Beach my mother-in-law needed skilled nursing care to take care of wounds. My mother-in-laws wounds are at a stage 3 she will always need wound care the rest of her life. She is unable to be in a regular setting in memory care due to the care she will need due to Glen Park of Long Beach neglect. read more
