When we first brought our mom in, it was or what seemed to be the only option we had. Unfortunately, the level of care from her nurses and nurse staff was far from 5 stars. Then, there was a revamp of staff from all departments. Samantha Vassel, who is over the nurses didn’t help out the situation. It actually worsened. We had called and texted and texts, took her over 3+ days to return. Calls, depended on the day. She is rude and we don’t feel as if considering we are paying over $6k and have a higher level of care, we expected more. Expectations are not met and they are horrifically short on staff. There is maybe one nurse to one to two floors of people. Wait times when you hit the button have gone over three hours or even never addressed. Unacceptable. When you live in an assisted facility, Fall can occur, but when you don’t answer the residence call for when they fall till after three hours later, the damage is already done. Only thing there that’s worth the positive response is Michelle Jones and all front desk staff. They have been the only ray of sunshine. We don’t plan on staying if another opportunity should arise.
