Welcome to The Gables of Jacksonville. Life at The Gables features a convenient location, bright and airy residence, and a maintenance-free lifestyle centered around enhancing independence.
It’s been four years since my father was a resident here in the memory care facility. He lasted 4 days before he was transported to hospice and died days later.
He had severe early-onset Alzheimer’s and we had made the very hard decision to house him here. We felt comfortable with Dayna and the staff and the emotional toll had become overwhelming for our family to continue caretaking at home. It was especially hard that we were not able to visit him since it was amid the 2020 pandemic.
Once he got there, he essentially had a mental breakdown. They sent him to the hospital multiple times. Thankfully, Dayna was communicative with us, but we felt extremely helpless. One of the times I called for information, one of the head nurses answered and told me that she had worked in this environment for 10 years and had never seen anything like this.
To say that was not comforting, was an understatement. I ended up calling the Alzheimer’s Association and they said that this was very normal behavior for someone in late-stage dementia. They were very comforting, unlike the head nurse here. It was a shame that even the “experts” did not know how to handle my father’s condition. It is excruciating having to leave your loved one in the care of others. I hope this head nurse continues with more compassion in the future.
Additionally, I felt like they were overly eager to get him back into their facility even though he was told he had days left to live. The sales lady was more concerned about the check rather than our loved one who was dying.
The reason for two stars and not one is for Dayna – thank you for doing your best with my dad and for coming to his funeral. Thank you for caring.
I hope that this review helps others with their tough decision.
