My parents were prisoners there from 1990's until 2005. They insisted on staying together in one…read moreroom so this was our only option. It was the most horrible experience that I am still having nightmares about. The social worker (AS) was absolutely horrible. She had previously been A social worker in a juvenile detention center and she treated the residents with suspicion as though they were juvenile delinquents. That woman was eventually fired after my parents had passed but the damage was done. When my father was old and sick she asked me if he thought it was time to give up and die. My mother had every single thing stolen from her. Everything. This social worker put her in a room, after my father died, with a crazy woman who stole everything from my mother. I went to visit and the drawers were empty her closets were empty all of her jewelry was gone every knickknack she ever owned had been stolen. Like I said this is a nightmare I have to live with for the rest of my life. They were so neglected and because I lived out of state I would call constantly and of course I was told everything was fine. When I would visit everything was not fine and I would raise holy hell. Stay as far away from this hell hole as possible....well, unless you hate your loved one.

Years ago a loved one was in the skilled nursing section of Capitol Lakes. I was struggling to…read morelower him into his wheelchair while a nursing assistant who was in the room did not lift a finger to help me. He slid to the floor. Another time I visited and my loved one was sitting in his wheelchair in a puddle of pee which had pooled on the floor. Another time I was berated by a staff member because she couldn't find his shoes, which were in his closet, like I told her. I also got accused of stealing food from the kitchen, which turned out to be unfounded. I tripped and fell coming out of the elevator because it wasn't level with the floor. Hopefully the place has improved.

My husband spent a month here recovering from a partial hip replacement, from March 31 to April 28,…read more2021. A nurse/administrator checked into the room and went over all the paperwork with us. This was early afternoon. I spent the rest of the day with him, until about 7PM, and he had an adequate meal, no other encounters inquiring about his needs. I returned the next morning to find him wearing the same clothes he came in with, no one had helped him to get ready for bed, his partial dentures were left in overnight! I was appalled! I tried to find someone in charge, and I was told by a rude and stressed CNA that they were short a nurse. HIs care over the next month was very uneven; the visiting rehab staff were great, and there were some wonderful CNAs (particularly the ones from Tibet/India) but the administration there was terrible. The facility itself was abysmal; the room though large, was not cleaned well or ofter, and the bathroom was inadequate: Small bowl toilet with a lift seat that was just plain unsanitary; there was no shower. He had to be taken down the hall to a shower room, and this happened twice a week if he was lucky. The building is old, and very much needing to be replaced. I felt that I had left my dear husband in a creepy 1950's motel. Do your loved one a favor and look for a better facility.
