What can I say but that my 77 year old father is in one excruciatingly bad heart breaking situation that NO one seems to reach out to him, nor talk to him, the man just want's LOVE and GOOD attention, not to mention that my father (at this beautiful high priced facility who does NOT mind his money) sits in his urinated pants for a week straight or longer and my father sits in a urine smelled wheelchair. Just being in a wheelchair not able to use his knees can't make it to the toilet well but he sure tries. No one changes his clothes NOR makes sure that this man changes his clothes, my father is always hungry, angry at Resident's, my father is being picked on by Resident's, my father is lonely, like I've mentioned over and over asking politely if someone can bathe, wash, help change my dad's clothes, wash those dirty smelly clothes instead of them smelly clothes piling up in his room, make sure he eats, helps make sure my dad brushes his teeth which this hasn't happened whatsoever in the long time he has been there. My father's ankles are swollen constantly, my father NEEDS to see a Dentist badly. It's almost like no one cares about this man. Every time I go visit my dad, SAME clothes, reeks of PEE, is HUNGRY, mad at Residents and I've seen these Residents pick on my dad, my dad comes off angry but he cries alot when alone. I live far away and it's not easy getting to the Nursing home but I often visit and I bring my dad a picnic, a snack, a meal, whatever he asks for. My dad's tooth fell out, his teeth are now brown, this man took EXCEPTIONAL care of himself in his younger days. I FEEL like everyone is just avoiding my dad waiting for him to pass...this isn't fair to live like that. I love my father. My heart breaks for my dad. The things I mentioned were the VERY reason my dad was unwillingly shoved into a Nursing home yet NOT a soul there seems to care although they say something will be done for my dad....but how long must this go on???? I, my Spouse and my children are his only Visitor. You would think there would be good Christian singing, good activities, encouraging words making sure Residents go to the Activity, the bathrooms are beyound gross. The appearance of this facility is beautiful. But Residents look angry and bored. I love Family Night!!! I just want BETTER care for my father. Someone to seriously work with my dad. Physical Therapy IS needed for my dad, some Residents smell like poop. I smell urine in the place. The Staff is nice, some of them, I mean this place collects alot of money off my dad. I do at times wonder why my dad HAS become highly defensive and scared yet not. I worry alot about what really goes on. Signed please please please someone help my dad. P.S-Also the Nurse SHOULD stand and MAKE sure my dad takes his medication EVERY time and tell him what he is taking and why. We have seen his medication under his bed alot. My dad's television sound DOESN'T work. Love that twice we walked in and my dad was happily singing in the piano area. EVERY time I say KEEP this confidential....I get that angry call from my dad that the Staff told him what I said. I've asked like alot if they could put my dad's NAVY picture up and yet NOPE. Although beautiful the outside area looks and is dangerous for Residents because the wheelchair can get caught between the small walk and the muddy grass. It's Medina what more can I say. Signed crying for better care for my dad. I know you're busy but come on. Keep this private. My dad needs Summer clothes. Sitting in a hot room with Winter clothes on.

Although there are staff members that truly care for my mom in the facility, overall there was an incompetency for nursing management and misdiagnosis of my mom's condition. There were a number of staff members that caused more conflict than resolution and were unwilling to encourage activities and getting residents out and about, even within the facility.

No kitchenettes in units, not impressed with facility.
