If I could give zero stars I would. After searching many assisted living places for my mother we decided on this one. The facility and rooms are nice and most of the staff are very friendly. That’s where the good things end. Shortly after moving in my mother’s health took a turn for the worse. She was unable to go down to the dining room for her meals because of pain so we paid extra (a lot extra) to have her meals brought to her room. There were multiple days where I would show up after work and she had gone without food because they didn’t brought her anything. They also missed giving her medication which we paid an awful lot for them to manage. It seems as though they have a hard time keeping enough stuff to properly care for the residents. The management and billing department are atrocious! We were over billed EVERY month! Constantly had to contact the billing department to try to get things straightened out. My mother was finally diagnosed with leukemia so it was clear she wasn’t going to get any better. She decided to do hospice and it was clear that they were not capable of taking care of her. We decided to move her out because of medical reasons and they would not let her end her lease for medical purposes so we had to pay another full months rent of several thousand dollars even though she wasn’t even there. Our experience there was awful. Especially after it was taken over by Prestige. All the bills we had were paid in full when we moved her out. My mother passed away 6 months ago. Tonight my sister tells me that she just got a bill in the mail for my mother for $2200 from guess who. We moved my mom out of there 7 and a half months ago, she’s been gone from this earth for six months. We haven’t received any bills from them since then until today. We wish we had never set foot in that place. What an awful experience. They sure appear to care much more about getting your money than they do about caring for their residents.
