My mom moved in Sept. '14. I understand that she was disabled & could be demanding but she was…read moretreated like crap. She passed away in January in rehab center. According to lease agreement she signed (as a woman suffering from dementia that had been disclosed) her death was considered her "30 day notice" according to Dogwood. Our grieving family was expected - and harassed - about "estate" paying additional month for empty a apartment. Not only did we have her death to deal with and burial costs these vultures wanted us to pay $1600.00 for pro-rated month. I had to contact attorney and may continue legal action. Her "estate" is not legally bound in state of Texas for this. They can bite me. Just saying.

Avoid this place if at all possible. While it may seem like it's a clean facility with friendly…read morepeople on the surface, none of those people actually DO anything. My mother was here for rehab after a hospital stay, and the facility was recommended by Medical City Denton, just down the road. Over a week in, and having received ZERO contact from anyone that I didn't initiate, I asked why, and was told that they hadn't bothered to record anyone's contact information in her file -- translated, they didn't really intend to communicate. My mother, who can use a toilet, wasn't able to in this facility because she wasn't allowed to leave her bed, would be left in her own waste, and even when I would visit I felt like I was going to have to light myself on fire to get someone to help. After about a week my mother got a UTI from laying in her own waste, it took almost another week before they addressed it with antibiotics, and then they implied that she shouldn't be allowed to leave until the infection was better. Here's the deal: the infection isn't going to stay better as long as she's in your facility laying in her own waste. Truly a horribly managed place.

However, her bed is too small for her and not "automatic"....I was told there was a "wall phone" that she could share with her roommate, (she can't use a cell phone), there is no phone. The "call nurse" button has never worked...so each person was given "jingle bells" to ring if they needed help. Well, you can imagine how bad that goes. Who's bell is ringing??? I'm still on the fence with this one, but, feel like I have no choice, as we are limited dealing with government funding. Staff has been friendly and seeming to care.......but..........

Checked for my assignment that was not in the book. Called scheduler, stated I was to work on 100 & 400 halls. When asked about log-in info, was told to call IT myself and arrange for that. IT stated that contractor could not call by self but to let facility representative to call on behalf of which they will email details to her and then will notify me. Scheduler was at home at this time. Called her back, she stated because she is home there is little she could do until she accesses computer at work. 6:30am, still waiting for her. No report given yet and not brief orientation to the halls and all that good stuff as a this was my first time at this facility. Around 6:45am, notified one of the staff, asking if there is anyone else to help me with log-in info as it was getting late into my shift. She called the scheduler, who was till at home and no indication that she will be in the facility at any time soon. Around 6:50am: Still no report, no scheduler, no log-in info, and no sign that I will start my assignment any time soon, I informed the other staff that I would rather go home. This was unacceptable of the scheduler. At around 7am, I left the building. Called my agency and left for home. When home, noted the scheduler had indicated that it was a no-show shift. I have never been to a facility where an agency nurse is supposed to arrange for my own log-in. As IT stated, it could be anybody wanting access to their system; hence telling me this info had to come from the facility representative. I do not recommend this facility to any agency nurse who cares about patients and time management. What a first time impression.

The next day I went up there to see him, and there was piss under the bed. He had to call the police to get some water-send a friend up there to check on him. P is still under the bed. He had the same clothes on for four days, they have not got him up to walk or do anything as of now I'm not even allowed on their premises and he has a POA that is not for his best interest. Every day I have somebody go and check on him and the report I get back are awful. I do not recommend this place for anybody. staff was very rude when I asked them about machine that night. They said they had it handled. But they didn't how did neighbor to go up there and fix the machine right. Also, he said he hadn't use the restroom in two weeks. When my friend went to tell the nurses they said we have that handled. We know how he is. He called me wanting me to call 911. He was in so much pain and I did I'm not sure if they showed up or not, it's pretty sad when you have to call 911 when you're in a facility like that and in pain. I am now in contact with a lawyer, and I will see what I can do about this facility and the POA nobody deserves to be abused and mistreated and taken advantage of. Money surely is the root of all evil.

I had medical experts who were trained in the United States and The United Kingdom and they did not waver and effectively did the things necessary to make my life easier and better by training me in donning and doffing my prosthetic hooks. My elderly parents moved to Good Samaritan Village in the early 2000s, and my brilliant father was keen on moving from our family home on Bell and Roberts St., near Texas Woman's University. My Hundred Year Old mother, Peggy Fearing has really enjoyed the last stage of her life and remained in the Creekside Duplex, #35 for the past two decades, and shows no signs of going anywhere: Indeed, her chief complaint is generally the absence of visitors and the wholesale loss of hearing and eye sight. My two sisters are currently on vacation, in tropical places that don't concern me. Kim and Marilyn Harris generally take turns on who goes when. Meanwhile, it's deep sunny summer time in North Denton, Texas and I pray that our Air Conditioner hangs in there for the duration and blessed fall weather conditions, which includes the usual seasonal changes and shorter days. I am just a disabled and thankfully retired management professor at the end of his dream career. Let's get some things straight: I have greatly appreciated the positive impact of praying that my church family did for us all along the way. Together, we are much stronger than when we are apart! Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D.

The staff would not provide us with information about her care, physical therapy, occupation therapy, food intake, water intake, medications or anything we asked them to inform us about. We found out on the day we checked her out of there that they had not been giving her one of her required medications for the entire three weeks she was there. Our family was given a meeting with the social worker, a nurse, PT, and OT and we asked for charted notes of what she had been doing there and her progress and they told us they could not provide that information. We found her soiled in bed a few times. She never had fresh water to drink when we would arrive. We did not find any evidence of skilled nursing taking place for our mother.

In addition to billing the patient/resident $5,400.00 for the same 20 days of rehab. Thus $13,900 for 20 days of 1.5 hours of rehab per day x 20 daya=30 hours $13,900÷ 30 equals $460 per day x 20 days of 1.5 per day (3rd party PT therapists) who are only being paid $100 per hour. The facility gross profit of $360 per hour. If you are someone ?who requires more PT good luck as none of their residents ever walk out of their own). As most are still wheel chair bound or using a walker when they leave if their lucky. After all if they fully rehabilitated their residents the facility would go broke. They are 50 percent short staffed because they can't retain good nurses or aides because the pay is low. 25 percent are contract so Covid is an issue. They Covid test the residents every 3rd day at $250 per test they charge the patient or insurance.Reason being too many contract employees thru 3rd party companies.
