The Harrison

[Name removed] is amazing!!! So much good information! All our questions were answered and even the ones we did not think to ask! I was very impressed with the 'open floor plan' of the building. I enjoyed watching the residents interacting with each other. Lunch was being served while we were visiting. The meal looked and smelled delicious. It was nice to see they even had a salad bar! I am so glad we visited!

The Harrison occupancy rate was relatively high for the past several years. Since Crestwood senior living closed it’s doors, and now those residents are coming to The Harrison. The Harrison has increased their rates 25% on 1BR. It makes you wander how concerned The Harrison really are for their residents to Jump rates overnight 25%, on residents. Some residents can barely afford private pay room rates as they are before the this increase. They aren’t a Medicaid facility so after they take all your money the resident has to find a Medicaid facility somewhere else.

My father lived at The Harrison for almost two years. It was a fiasco the entire time. Due to excessive high turn over and very poor communications between staff, one is consistently informing caregivers what type of care they are suppose to be providing. Mass confusion, and lack of concern runs rampant. Having a memory care division, without 24/7 RN is unbelievable! My father started out in their assisted living division, after a stay in the hospital and rehab, he needed more care. At the advise of the director he was put into the memory care division, with the explanation he would receive better care as the ratio of residents to staff was better. It was just more of the same. Incompetence! Hospice was soon brought in. Witnessing dad’s rapid decline within a week, hospice advised he be moved to a skilled nursing facility. I took their advise much to the disagreement of the D.O.N and Director claiming they could take care of him during his end times. During my father’s passing he needed morphine administered every two hours throughout a 48 hour time span. This is something The Harrison could not have administered . A QMA nor a CNA can administer morphine and since they do not see a need to have a registered nurse on staff 24/7, Dad would have suffered greatly. Dad was gone from The Harrison five days before his passing. After living there for almost two years there was no notice posted (as with all other residence who had passed before him) of his passing. Going to The Harrison the day after his death to finish cleaning out his room, I was not spoken to by the Director or the D.O.N which I came into direct contact with. Others within the building had to find out about dads passing by word of mouth. This is the caring environment of The Harrison.
