Come to find out that mom told staff how frighten she was with nursing care, today I come to find out these concerns went unnoticed/ignored or un-responded to by the chain of command.

"First, I must say that I run two businesses. I was looking forward to stopping by and checking out the facility. My mother is currently at an absolutely beautiful facility with EXCEPTIONAL staff, but we wanted her to be closer to our home. Upon arriving, I was greeted by two young small children standing at the desk. I had to speak up to ask for some help from an “adult.” I then had to ask if there’s anybody that could answer some basic questions. It seemed like a bother to the young person who came out to help me. Then, another woman came out who had brought the children to work and was unable to answer basic questions. I was told she was the office manager. She then said that she would try to see if the marketing director was available. I waited in a side room and upon entering the room, the “Marketing Director” was snide and rude. She asked me if “I had an appointment?” I could not believe my ears. I was walking in and was essentially about to give them business….." - Noelle… Read more

"I visited Sterling after a call from Karen a friend who moved here from my residence in Jacksonville, FL. My visit included a meeting with Lillian R, who showed me several apartments that I might like. I was partial to a first-floor unit that was being rehabbed at the time. This was perfect timing because I had to provide notice at my current site. After the visit I called Kellie E, about moving here. We discussed the timing of my move; the availability of the unit and we discussed financial arrangements as well. She was open to negotiation, and we spoke several times regard my occupancy and the cost. Coincidentally, another friend from the Jacksonville area was unhappy with his current living arrangements and asked me for advice. I recommended he call Kellie E who I found to be knowledgeable and open to accommodating his needs. Ms. E took his call and he was moved into a great apartment" - Donald… Read more
