friendly environment. residence were engaged. looks like a lot of activates.

As soon as I walked I was greeted by laughter. There was a Acitivties director doing a game on the table. She had about 15 to 20 people engaged all by her self. I was impressed with her compassion. She took time to stop and walk over to see what I needed. The building was clean and I smelt popcorn. The lady at the desk was friendly and helpful. My aunt passed away so I no longer need a place for her but I would recommend this small homey place.

My dearest friends father was a resident at Greenwood Place for almost a year. I visited with her on numerous occasions, always very upset when we left because of the way the patients were treated and very obviously uncared for. He has been there over a year now but what I saw the last time I visited with her, I feel morally obligated to write this review. Again, these are things I saw for myself. - late evening and through the night, 1 caregiver for close to 20 people with advanced dementia. - patients dishevelled, greasy hair, fingernails uncut and absolutely filthy. - patients sitting in wheelchairs, slumped over asleep for truly 3 or 4 hrs at a time. -Times that we visited for the entire day, periods of 20 to 45 min would go by without us seeing a single employee. -Actually have been asked if we would mind "keeping an eye on everybody" in the main area "since you're going to be sitting here anyway" -a woman permitted to crawl around on the dirty floor, under tables, eating dropped food off the floor. The worker told us they allowed it because she would not stay sitting in a chair and "they wont let us tie her in, even though that is safest" I could go on and list 2 dozen other sad situations but I think makes a clear point. Most disturbing is that these examples are not rare or an exception. This is consistantly what I have experienced and seen every time we have visited. Arrangements are being made to move her dad but his family is afraid to even tell management in fear her dad will suffer consequences because so many people have already moved out.
