I've spent more than two weeks trying to get a landline set up for my mom at Highgate, and the…read moreexperience has been extremely frustrating. I was told to contact Spectrum, which I did immediately. Spectrum was great -- they located Highgate's bulk account and sent the equipment right away. The problem started when we tried to hook it up. We were told that only Highgate's maintenance team could install it. After multiple attempts, I'm now being told they are actually unable to complete the setup. If I had known that from the start, Spectrum could have sent a technician days ago and my mom wouldn't have gone 10 days without being able to communicate. To make matters worse, trying to reach staff has been difficult. On Saturday after 5pm, the phone rang endlessly with no answer. When I called again on Monday, it rang more than a dozen times before someone finally picked up. At this point, I'm seriously questioning the competence and communication of the staff and leadership. This should have been a straightforward request, but it's turned into a stressful and unnecessary ordeal.

Through a calling to love and care for others, LeAnn has transformed her home into this special place that is filled with laughter, warmth, and plenty of opportunities for residents to explore new passions and grow. Throughout the year LeAnn plans fun activities or field trips for the residents, and every summer they have the Hyalite Olympic Games for the whole family. The care is very personal, as well. LeAnn looks at each resident as an individual and works to make sure that they feel comfortable and cared for in their space. As a caregiver myself, LeAnn was a great employer: compassionate and kind, but held high standards for her employees. I can honestly say that this was the best place I have ever worked. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the care is so personal.

My dad has missed many meals, showers and assistance getting dressed, even though it was included in his care plan. On October 3rd at 5:42 I noticed the Lodge had not gotten him dressed and he missed all meals. I asked that they check on him. His pulse was 3x higher than normal and BP low. I asked that a nurse check on him and was told the nurse would check on him the next day. I insisted the nurse be called and ambulance. He was admitted into the hospital with heart failure and bedsores. He would not have survived until the next day when a nurse was to check on him.

I was on a two week quarantine because my husband was exposed at work. Renee proceeded to tell me I…read moreneeded to come back to work because it sounded like I just did not want to work. I discussed this with my husband before we made the decision that with my heart disease, COPD and diabetes that it was not safe. My doctor also agreed. However I worked there because I wanted to ,not because I needed to. I just needed to get out of the house because I was bored. Renee stated that I was an essential employee. However Renee stated she was not an essential employee and would work from home. Ive never heard of an administrator not being an essential employee.Please understand im not disgruntled, I quit there once before. I however am embarrassed that I worked there and disgusted in the lack of professionalism at that facility. I have alot of experience behind me I have worked in healthcare the last 23 years. I was in Social Services and handled 68 residents at my last facility which I worked at for 7 years. There were several abuse reports reported to Renee and her helper Tiffany. Each time something was reported to them it never went any further. Renee has made statements of knowing people from state and not wanting to report it. Investigations were never completed and workers accused still remain employed. One residents hand was bruised and very swollen it was reported by one staff that another staff member admitted to bending her finger, it was reported to Renee. Instead of a proper investigation where the employee would be suspended until an investigation was held, she remained working on the floor and nothing was ever done state was never notified. . We also had a day care person come in and was attacked by another resident which left her with scratches and bruises on her face and neck and when family picked her up and asked about the scratches Renees assistant denied knowing what happened even though she did know. There was also another resident who is violent with other residents but remains at the facility. Reports were filed and they also were never followed up on. The assistant once told an employee to lock a resident out doors until he calmed down. This was reported to Renee, the assistant still works there. This assisted living facility is not a nursing home they accept people that need way more care than assistance just to keep there beds full. They are not CNAs in the facility and the caregivers are allowed to feed residents whom a few of them have swallow precautions that are ignored. Caregivers are not supposed to feed unless you are a CNA and an ALF is not supposed to accept residents with swallow precautions because they do not know what to look for. I was very disappointed in this place Renee being only and LPN should not be sufficient enough to run a facility. She spends more time out of the building then in the building. She uses the fact that she knows people from state and that she is friends with her boss to intimidate workers. Out of every facility I have ever worked this by far is the worse place. I really feel sorry for the residents because most of them cant remember or talk to report the abuse. There is really not one resident that is not full of bruises, that go unreported not by caregivers but by Renee and her assistant. Please dont put your loved one here. They are very good about lying and selling the place up. However if you want your family happy, safe, and mentally and physically abuse free do not put them in EDGEWOOD BELGRADE MEMORY CARE.
