"I echo the above descriptions regarding the memory care unit. Inadequate staffing levels, environment, and senior management communication extremely poor. When my LO first entered memory care, he was very independent and therefore ignored. As his disease progressed, the facility did not communicate with the family to work on strategies. He was ignored. When brought to their attention, the rates would increase, citing more care required additional time to complete tasks. There was no additional care. This facility does not possess the expertise for advanced memory needs. A money grab. Take the time to research stand alone memory care facilities. They truly care about residents and staff." - Lori…
