Review for Gull Creek Senior Living Community
Their head staff team member [name remove]is unpleasant and does not return phone calls . I like the staff members but she needs to be replaced. Send no one there that has a colostomy. They were not trained as they said they were in order to take care of my mom. It was terrible

Not a pleasant start.
The first week was a rough one. Between moving in my loved one and the filthy condition of her apartment upon first arrival, it wasn’t the smoothest transition. The situation was never rectified and we did not receive support from management, however the nurses on the floor and front desk staff are exceptionally kind, friendly and do an amazing job. The activities and marketing directors are awesome. At this time my loved one has settled in and seems to be enjoying herself but it was an extremely rough start that could’ve been avoided or immediately rectified, but wasn’t.

Excellent for self sufficient clients; not so good for clients with needs
[name removed] needed far more assistance than Gull Creek was capable of delivering. She was assessed, but she needed assistance in eating, dressing, she was incontinent, and always anxious. On several occasions, I found her asleep in the chair in the hallway, or needing changing. The staff was caring, but the evening staff seemed young and inattentive. My wife was there for less than 2 months. She fell 3 times in 24 hours and I was not informed. She then Went to hospice and passed away less than 2 weeks later.

Gull Creek Memory Care Must be Investigated
Fully investigate the Gull Creek Memory Care operation before your lived one resides there as had to pull my 91 year old mom out of there after only 2 months residency and their business manager billing for next month for not giving 30 days notice as well as keeping full deposit. Happy to share our egretful experience personally and asking Md state officials to investigate their operations especially the program. Very disappointed.

Room For Improvements
Overall, I would rate the experience with Gull Creek as neutral. We moved them out two months ago because of costs and quality of care. They moved to Florida because of the lack of choices of other facilities nearby, and Florida offered much better quality facilities and care for several thousands of dollars per month less.

Excellent facility overall
The facility and staff are excellent. The facility is clean and no crazy smells. Activities are excellent the driver who takes to outside trips and doctor appointments is excellent however the driver only stays in the Berlin area so if you need to see a specialist outside of Berlin you will need family to transport. Laundry could be an issue unless you have the staff do your laundry. Apartments have no washing machines and trying to find time to do your own laundry is impossible due to all the laundry being washed daily by staff

There was never adjustment for special meal requirements- mom needed soft food and the liquid
Food in general was just ok, there was not a cook they just reheated prepared meals
Having nurses in charge of this facility should of made the facility better but they did not like to be questioned or corrected, which is what occurred between them and the hospice nurse.
When we did a review of moms care they lied about moms ability which was a last straw but nothing to be done because I was aware that we were in moms last weeks.
Mom was assaulted by another resident last fall, which was stopped by a staff member but it was not handled well.
They then offered my mom a space in memory care which was ok.
The memory care has a good reputation with hospice and the aides and med techs for the most part were excellent.
They like all places had problems with staff shortages.
I did hire sitters for mom and they covered every afternoon into evening for 4-5 hours. The facility told me they (the sitters) were not necessary but they were my eyes when I wasn't there so I'm sure they improved the care.
If there would be any thing that I would say about future residents - they should not have problems and be able to move themselves (use wheelchair with out assistance).

Would recommend with some room for improvement
The staff turnover is high. In two plus years there have been about 3-4 nurse administrators. The med techs serve as aids, do laundry , and administer medication. Some are very friendly and some not so much. Turnover rate also high. The facility is currently being painted , cosmetic improvements in the common areas are being made. My Mom's room is large but the bathroom is way too small and the opening is too narrow. Cleaning of the room is fair. The facility has lovely rooms and a new outdoor garden that is beautiful!
The recreation director is amazing , there are many activities and trips as well. Upper management is friendly and accommodating. The residents are friendly and interact nicely with each other. I am speaking about the assisted living part not memory care. They seem to have a nice memory care unit - but can't speak for it. Berlin is a great town with lots to do.
Response from Gull Creek Senior Living Community
August 6, 2024
Thank you for this review! While turnover is always a focus, nursing leadership turnover has been in large part due to internal promotions. It has been important to us to recognize and promote our highly qualified staff. We appreciate your recognition of our executive director, who was previously our Director of Nursing.

Review for Gull Creek Senior Living Community
For the most part we have been satisfied with the care received at Gull Creek. The biggest challenge I see is with staffing. They seem to have a difficult time keeping the DON position filled for any length of time. The activities team is OUTSTANDING! I would say to any new future resident is to keep an open line of communication between the family, the staff and the resident so everyone is on the same page especially when doctors make changes to medicine etc. it is better to be over communicative then under and the staff is typically prompt to respond and update when there have been changes to anything as it relates to the resident. Overall, I would recommend Gull Creek to friends & family.

Disappointed with Gull Creek
They were kind, but not trained to turn patients or clean them. Not aware of need for cleanliness and preventative care.nor concerned for mental well being.
Didn't get her out of bed. She could stand and pivot but needed assistance. They Did not do this. They are not trained for professional aid. I was an I U nurse so I know what should be done as an aid.
Also didn't warm up her food/didn't help her set up tray/didn't t make sure she liked what she had( I had bought her some things that could be warmed up) Only took a few minutes.
They also promised me they would be able to care for her. She really was easy and really sweet lady. Makes me sad to think about. I almost reported them a few times but I did not. Hoping they get their act together

The staff is very friendly, patient, caring, and helpful. Housekeeping cleans rooms once a week and in response to an incident or request. Maintenance responds quickly to requests. The move in process went smoothly. The staff assists new residents with transitioning to their new community. I would recommend Gull Creek.

I wouldn't recommend if in a wheel chair
Experience with Memory care(4 )is better than Assisted Living(2). Some of the staff is a 10 and a few are a 3. The administration is the least friendly after you are a resident. We had medication issues and the lack of honesty is those issues. There was sometimes a lack of responsiveness to aid the wheel chair bound resident. Recently there has been a short staff situations. And there is in general a poor response to questions that I've needed answered. My mother enjoys the food because it is bland. They do a very nice job with the diversity of types of residents who are at. If you added up the fours and even a five you might not understand the 3 for overall, quality of care has been lacking and those issues have outnumbered the few good staff

Safe and Beautiful Home Environment
Overall we have had a great experience at Gull Creek. The staff does all they can to make my family member comfortable, seen, and heard. [name removed] does an exceptional job with activities and keeping the residents involved. They have also done a complete remodel of their outside garden and sitting area and are upgrading many features throughout the community. They do everything they can to create a safe and beautiful home environment, and not an institutional setting. That is one reason why my family member and I chose Gull Creek!

Review for Gull Creek Senior Living Community
I like the staff. The staff is nice and they listen and try! The staff work hard but they are understaffed and things and people get missed. Too much is expected for the amount of staff, that they have. And I don't think they are properly trained for some things expected of them. Nurses have to bring trays to residents instead of the dining staff. They have terrible food. And they are no help for food allergies.

Overall pleased
Residents are very friendly and many are high functioning. It is easy for residents to make friends. Administration is approachable and willing to please and generally very friendly and kind. As of now there is an aid shortage. My mom likes the food some day and complains on a minimal basis. Food is hard to tell, I haven't eaten there. The facility is airy , large and lovely. The rooms are large and vey nice with many having a terrace. The price for the room and overall price I think is less than some. It's in a quiet area tucked in a residential area. The grounds are lovely and they are building a garden. The recreation director is new and great, she tries to involve all residents. There has been a turnover of administrators lately. I like them and they are very approachable and try hard to solve problems.
Berlin MD is a great town! Quaint downtown, close to Ocean City, close to outlets and National and state park at Assatinque. It is where wild ponies live. It's 40-45 min to Lewes / Rehoboth Beach where I live. I wish it was closer but it's an easy ride. Hope they resolve their staffing issues , but it seems to be an issue nation wide.

Community Tour
Gull Creek's facility is extremely limited - it's not set up well / doesn’t flow well / is very disjointed. The Executive Director seems really good, and she personally has reached out to me multiple times to follow up. She seems very motivated. My concerns came from the facility itself. It feels like house that has awkward additions on it. I found it confusing to navigate, so I can only imagine how confusing that would be for my loved one with dementia.
