I have not one, but two, family members at this assisted living facility. Let's get one thing straight. ASSISTED Living means that they provide some ASSISTANCE..These elderly people are on their own.
When my family member in the facility had COVID and needed medical attention, she pressed her call button repeatedly for assistance. No one came. Finally, another resident went searching for staff and found ALL THREE staff members for that wing in the break room. This was not the first occurrence of no one showing up when the emergency button was pressed either.
Upon trying to call the facility about these concerns, I found that - day after day - I received an automated message that the voicemail was full, and I was disconnected. When I finally reached someone, they took a message for the director to call me back. It's been a WEEK and still no call back.
When my husband physically went to the facility, he buzzed the door to get in. He did this multiple times with no response. Then, he finally shook the door to set off the alarm. Only then did someone let him in.
These residents pay WELL OVER $3K a month to live there. This should be enough to provide them with, at least, some BASIC assistance. But that is not happening. This is downright neglect. And it's sickening.
If you love your family member, don't put them in this facility. read more
