My great grandma has been here for 2 years. I think her NA is very sweet but she is alone taking care of AT LEAST 8 residents, all are middle to high maintenance residents and aren’t getting the attention they need because the NA can’t do it all alone. This place is understaffed and do to that problem it also makes it so that the activities aren’t being done so my great grandma just kind of sits in her wheelchair all day and doesn’t get much movement or stimulation to her brain.
Mom was there five days. Is diabetic and was well controlled with Metformin. She had a fall on the second day and I was told by the caregiver that she was not injured. The nurse didn’t call, the care giver called me. On the fifth day I was called again by a caregiver and told that she couldn’t lift her arm and that they would call 911 or I take her to the ER. I picked her up and she was dirty, shaking, eyes glassy and not wearing her glasses. I could barely get her in the car. She was wheezing and had labored breathing. ER found that her blood sugar was 800 and she had multiple bruises and a broken clavicle and a heart problem. Now the nurse is telling me that they don’t control diets. They give diabetics whatever is on the menu. I was absolutely told that her diet would be watched prior to moving in.
After four days of living at the Cottages my mom is in the hospital with a broken clavicle, a handprint on her left arm, short of breath, unable to walk, severely dehydrated, and a blood sugar of more than 800. We are in the process of coordinating a discharge to skilled nursing since she needs rehab and insulin going forward.
Staff is loving and kind. They work hard caring for their residents. Unit was clean–no smell, and was bright and cheerful. Residents were clean, dressed, and well cared for. The residents sometimes struggle with boundaries, because they don’t remember their room or their clothing (so they go “shopping” in other resident’s rooms), but staff tries to stay on top of this and other challenges. Staff is resourceful, coming up with innovative solutions to challenges.
I have only been here for a week and they all nice and are very helpful and management doesn’t just bring any one in that is combative he actually cares about his staff
