Spectrum Adult Family Home

This is a beautiful home and the owner is wonderful. I have minimal concerns about this facility being totally secure. I also worry about the ability to keep my mother-in-law stimulated. However, we are putting her in their care. It's a difficult decision, but I feel we've made the right one.

My husband was a resident at their Sumner house for about 3 months. During that time he lost 30 pounds and his behavior became unmanageable. After removing him from their care he has gained weight and his behaviors are managed. The food they offer is processed and frozen at most meals. There is little to no nutritional value in a lunch of white bread, processed packaged sandwich meat, potato chips and store brand Oreo cookies. The 3 slices of canned peaches might have some nutritional value buried in the heavy syrup. The $[removed] a month they charged was not money well spent. They didn’t inform me when my husbands feet and legs swelled and their staff did not know how to care for a resident with Lewy Body dementia. Staff members called my husband nicknames which is very confusing to dementia patients. One staff member said “that’s your wife? I thought I was your wife” to my confused and vulnerable husband. They are not a good choice in my opinion.
