  A Place For Mom

This is a place where I wouldn't send my worst enemy. Most of the staff are OK, but whenever I went to visit my mother, everyone seemed on edge. On one of those visits, I witnessed the Executive Director [name removed] talking down, in a rather loud voice, to staff in front of the residents and their family members. I could see immediately the embarrassment on their faces. A few days later, I heard her at the front desk, refusing to speak with a family member. Not long after that she actually scolded a resident in the dining room. I continued to watch for her outbursts, and figured out that they were very frequent, and pretty much no one was exempt from her wrath. She is not a compassionate person, especially when she treats people the way she does. I was very uncomfortable leaving my mom in this environment, especially because I felt like it would only be a matter of time before she verbally attacked my mother. We vacated as soon as we found another nicer facility to take care of mom. I would suggest that any potential resident to just visit the facility on several different times to get the true picture of what kind of place this is. I cannot figure out why they have some "good" reviews, unless it's staff that is writing them. Also, I have noticed that they cannot seem to keep a nurse position filled. They have had 4 or 5 nurses in the last few years! Don't take a risk with your loved one's!

This review is based solely on the behavior of the Executive Director [name removed]. Unfortunately the facility is guided by an employee who is blatantly unhappy with her station in life. My engagement with her has been curt to say the least. I was moving a family friend into the facility and required help which she stated was against policy but when I left other staff helped out to get the items moved in the apartment. I have never heard kindness to be against policy. Shame on you [name removed]. Kindness and decency are an integral part of human connection which you lack. As for all the other staff, kudos for working for the betterment of the facility and making things easier for family and friends.

Friendly staff, I'm always greeted by name. I know my mother is treated in a professional and personal manner. Frequent evaluations are made to ensure the best care. Lots of in house entertainment and activities as well as multiple outings
