It’s really hard to get a hold of people there or to talk to your loved ones and if they need to get referred out to an assisted-living facility, double check the facilities and make sure they are actually licensed and not just bard and care I assumed that the places that they were referring me to were all licensed however, in the end we found out it was just board and care The facility where my grandfather went, kept saying he was too much and a handful which he is, but paying as much as we are paying it should not have been an issue. And then we were told that we would not be able to be prorated due to the facility having to pay medical Hill a fee for referring them, which was half of the payment we did. I genuinely do not think that Medical Hill has elders in their best interest Otherwise, they would give full detail details to the people that they are referring I had to explain things multiple times and they only gave me phone numbers to call to see if there was for my grandfather.
