    Review

    During the time range of August 2017 to May 2018, a series of alarming incidents occurred at a certain facility. According to one family member's review, the staff displayed blatant rudeness when inquiries were made regarding the well-being of their mother. Statements such as "I don't have time for that" and "it's not important" left this concerned individual feeling dismissive and ignored.

    But it wasn't just the staff's behavior that caused distress. Another issue mentioned was the lack of attention given to their mother's personal hygiene. Allegedly, her clothes were not changed daily, causing discomfort and potential health risks. Furthermore, her attire and briefs were consistently soaked, indicating neglectful care on behalf of the facility.

    Bathing routines seemed to be another area where proper documentation was lacking. The reviewer noted that no logs were kept regarding their mother's baths. This not only raises concerns about sanitation but also suggests a possible lack of consistency in essential daily routines.

    In addition to these unsettling observations, financial matters also appeared to be mishandled within this facility. The frustrated family member explained that they went through three different representatives in the financial office and eventually found themselves dealing with internal collections due to being asked to pay an additional $2K compared to what was originally agreed upon. More concerning still is the claim that payments were not properly logged, raising questions about transparency and accountability within the facility.

    The ambiance of the facility itself didn't inspire much confidence either as a recurring complaint was about its foul odor. This unpleasant smell likely contributed further discomfort and dissatisfaction among both residents and their families.

    Moreover, healthcare needs beyond basic care seemed largely unaddressed at this facility. Despite actively attempting to engage with a social worker for two to three months, one family member struggled without success to secure necessary dental care for their mother. Promises such as "I'll get her on the list" were made repeatedly but never followed through, leaving the family member feeling increasingly frustrated and suspicious of the facility's commitment to its residents' well-being.

    Despite voicing concerns multiple times, they were consistently met with responses referring to "policy." While promises were made that their concerns would be addressed and changes implemented, these commitments proved empty. As a result, this family member firmly believed their mother was being neglected while under the care of this particular facility.

    In conclusion, these reviews paint a troubling picture of a facility where residents' needs are not appropriately attended to. From rude staff members and inadequate hygienic practices to financial discrepancies and a lack of proactive healthcare measures, it is clear why concerns about neglect arise. Families should approach this particular facility with caution and consider alternatives that prioritize the well-being and dignity of their loved ones.
