Sunrise of Leawood

I would like to know from [date removed] to which facility she moved her mother to. My mother is on the 3rd floor of Sunrise of Leawood. My mother has experienced rudeness by the staff also and states she does not like how they speak to the residence. My mother was high functioning and within 6 months has declined.

Mom was okay at first but within a month or two these folks were pushing hard to move her to the 3rd floor reserved for far gone dementia patients. It was a huge mistake and she ended up in a spiral downturn and was rushed to the ER for 10 days to save her life, before being moved to a rehab facility to learn how to walk again. Fortunately she now lives in a truly good place and has done so very well. I have no doubt whatsoever that she wouldn't still be alive now if she'd stayed at Sunrise. Other families also moved their loved ones out of Sunrise and into Mom's residence facility.

Our mother barely survived her time at Sunrise and fortunately was taken to the ER in time to be saved, barely, from neglect, dehydration and severe over medication. (8 times the prescribed amount, which had her heart rate in the 30's with her not being able to even walk) Their charge nurse is the worst imaginable and tried to take my mother's purse...right in front of me. Our experience was awful, just plain awful, on so many levels. At first it seemed like a lovely place, with great activities (best part of the facility) and decent care. It quickly went downhill and we found ourselves in a life or death situation. The doctor told us NOT to take her back to Sunrise...wow...said a lot. Now that we've experienced a year with an excellent facility, I can't even begin to compare the two. Heard the Director left and that they didn't have anyone in charge...scary.
