Our family would like to thank everyone at Memory Care at Winterberry Heights, from the bottom of our hearts. We have been so incredibly happy with our decision to bring our mother to Memory Care last January. From a friendly and smiling face at the front desk, to the innumerable workers who stopped what they were doing to let us in and out of the locked door, to the workers who cared for our mother in all the last stages of her life, we will be forever grateful. We are beyond happy to have chosen your warm and welcoming facility.

They owe me $300.00 for my work caring for the residents there. I called and went in, but was spoken to in an unprofessional manner and was told to never come back. I wrote down the hours I didn't get paid for and was told I would get paid for my services, but it's been over 2 weeks and still no money. The residents are only allowed 2 showers a week and only on specific days. When the residents ask for help, they tell them they can do it themselves! These residents are in their 80's and 90's, but yet don't want to help them. There's too much of a work load. The Caregivers are being forced to serve all the meals in the dining room, buss the tables, scrub toilets, do laundry, give showers, do paperwork, take out trash... They should have Dietary Aides for the dining room and the Caregivers should have time for enough personal care for the residents, but there's little time for that, since they have to do everything else. Stay away from this place unless you want to work with toxic staff and too much of a work load!

Loved my residents and co workers on memory care but management is just awful and lies. They demanded a drs note with diagnosis listed on it.
