Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"Carmel Village is an acceptable place for seniors who are still fairly independent and only need minimal assistance, meals, & basic housekeeping. However, once a resident requires a higher level of care, they cannot provide it. My mom lived here for two years. During the last four months of her life, as her care needs increased, the quality of care declined significantly. While Carmel Village charged additional fees for every added service—which we understood/ expected—the care that was promised was not the care that was provided. She came home from the hospital 2 months before she passed and Carmel said they could still handle her needs on Hospice along with the outside agency. They messed up so many things! As her health declined and she needed more help, the cost went up but the help did not. She had all her witts about her but they treated her as if she did not! Wrong meds, wrong timing, etc. So awful for her last days!" - Terry…
