We chose Palmetto Landing because it is close to where my sister and I lived. The room sizes here were small but adequate for what she needed. The food here was ok. We had to bring in special care services to this facility, they offer some and some they don't. I would recommend this community.

The food could of been a lot better. The rooms were fine. The care services were just okay, they claimed she needed more medication then what she actually need. They never knew where her medicine was, it was either "lost" or "couldn't find it." One thing that did stand out to us was the location, we liked the layout of the facility. The administrator we spoke to in the beginning was excellent,

I had a terrible experience with Palmetto Landing. My father was diabetic with early to moderate stage dementia. Upon move-in we reviewed this information on his monitoring needs with the director, the nurses, and the physician who would be seeing him here. I found out nearly 3 months later with an ambulance ride to the emergency room that they had not checked his blood sugar in 3 months! It was critically high. They kept commenting on mental status changes and never thought to check his blood sugar. That is unreal to me as an RN and unacceptable. The wellness/nurse director was always very rude to me on the phone, very condescending, and would call me to tell me things my father was doing "wrong" despite having dementia. Never had anything help to offer to improve his quality of life. Their memory care wing is a sorry excuse for memory care, now that I have seen how real memory care facilities function properly and offer care and support. My father did not receive that at Palmetto Landing. He was treated poorly and neglected. I would show up unannounced and find him in the same clothing, unbathed, that he had on 5 days prior, with soiled clothing in his room, and moldy food in his mini-fridge. This is an unsafe place for memory care for many reasons. My Dad lived here for 4 long months while we were searching for a better fit. He was disrespected and treated poorly. He developed new "behaviors" during this time and no one was willing to help get a consult for him. During that time I received many phone calls in the middle of the night saying he was being difficult and threatening to send him to the ER by ambulance and then just not accept him back. Basically threatening to abandon him unsafely if we could not secure a new facility for him quickly enough. They gave me 2 hours notice on a holiday weekend to hire 1:1 care or they would drop him off at the ER and not take him back. So we hired 1:1 companion care for Dad to protect him and ensure he was safe until we could relocate him, and those sitters would tell me what really went on in the facility. His "behaviors" were related to the disrespect he faced at Palmetto Landing and mostly stopped once we got him to a better facility with caregivers trained in dementia care and how to talk to and treat someone who doesn't understand what is happening to them. It is scary for someone with dementia to be in new surroundings with strangers caring for them, strangers wandering into their rooms at all hours of the night startling them out of sleep, yelling at them, taking their belongings, etc. A GOOD memory care facility will mitigate all these things as much as possible and calmly re-direct and console in a helpful manner, not yell at residents and expect dementia patients to understand and change their behavior on their own.
