The few staff they have that are caring people are overworked and pull double shifts. General day to day atmosphere is depressing and non responsive to their residents. My mother lived there for 4 years and I had to bath her, clean her apartment but most importantly care for her if she got sick. I found her in her apartment with a high fever and had to find my own wheelchair(weekends only ONE CNA for all assisted living side) to get her to hospital where she had a UTI, CDIFF and pneumonia!! I cannot imagine what would have happened to her f I didn't happen to stop in early that day! Food is deplorable and food trays left in her room for hours. Nice droppings in bathroom(they left mice traps). Plumbing issues. Please consider your loved one before leaving them alone in their rooms. My mom had early onset dementia and no behavior issues or other health conditions. They couldn't care for her. My mom is now in a loving environment, great staff to resident ratio, frequent updates and visits with her. Primary care physician is phenomenal.

Our friend was put into The Wood at Canco Retirement Home Portland Me. 3 years ago. Things changed…read moreover the 3 years. What she were told when she went in to The Wood at Canco and what she received over the time she was there was a great big LIE. Lie number 1. She was told she would have a ride to doctor appointments in the company van. Shortly after she got there they lost they driver and never got another one. And from what we seen and heard there never tried to get another driver. Lie number 2. She needed her ears taken care of she couldn't hear, this never got done they told her they had an onsite nurse. Not much help if any from any nurse the whole time she was there. Lie number 3. After time goes by she would be checked on to see if she would have to move to another part of the building for when she would need full care. That meant her would go into hospice care when the time came and she would be allowed to pass there, that never happened. Lie number 4. When she was getting so she could not manage alone anymore they said she need to go some were else for hospice care. She was told she could live out the rest of her life there. That was one of the biggest lies, a very CRUEL thing to do to a person close to the end of there life. The big thing for going there was to live out her life there and not have to have to much change that late in life. Pretty crappy for $7000.00 a month. After some time there the cleaning was lacking, the food started to slip and a big lack of help. When they moved her out they told her they would send the things not needed anymore to Goodwill then they informed her she needed to pay more than $400.00 to have her things removed that was LIE number 5. and Now she is in the City Hospital costing her even more. No person at 100 years old should have to go threw things like these. These places suck your money dry then throw you out like a bag of trash. Lies on top of Lies I hope people read this and will pass the word and never to put your loved ones in this retirement home.

Both needed options that could either accept MaineCare now or in the near future. Unfortunately there wasn't a location that could accept both parents but Shawn managed to have the knowledge and resources to find locations for both. I do not believe I could have found these options on my own or without serious hair pulling and taking years off of my own life due to stress. He is the best person to call first if one has need of help in placing of elderly loved ones. I can't thank him enough.
