Applewood Lane Place

My mom is very change-adverse. I saw her bristle so many times when she was faced with it, both major and minor. After dementia slowly crept up on her, she wasn't just gonna accept ceding control to a care home's staff. But it got to the point where the hospital would not release her to go back to living on her own. We needed a place that would do for a widowed woman in her 80s all the things that she had stopped doing for herself. That brought us to Nannie's Inn. They needed to be the responsible "parent" who wouldn't let my mom get away with not bathing and not eating decent meals. Watching your mother decline and stop being the woman you remember is a painful thing. Especially when it means she loses both mobility and recollection of details from her life. I believe the staff here were invested in helping my mother, knowing that she didn't welcome the world she was thrust into. They gave her a better final chapter than we could give her at home. I thank them for that!

One of the things that really drew us to the place was how clean the inside of the community was, there was no fowl smells and everything was so nice. The staff members are friendly and very accommodating. They show concern and have been very responsive to our calls and answer all of our questions. Our loved one is 100% bed bound and on a feeding tube and they have been able to maintain that which is a huge plus. She has her own room which is nice, the care has been good and this is the most cost effective value in the area.

The community is a great facility and group home. The communication between the staff and the family is good. I would recommend this community to others

Paul was fantastic! In an hour I had several options from which to choose -- and one that turned out to be the one. Very easy process. Would highly recommend A Place for Mom and Paul specifically. We are very happy.

We would have put our sister here in a minute but she was not a good fit per Lori. Everyone was up and doing a craft the place was clean and very accessible by wheel chair. It was far from my home but every bit worth the time and money.

The Director was superb! I fell apart emotionally while talking to her (so embarrassed). Very impressed with her home - clean, neat, organized. Residents seemed happy. She did not have a private room; only a double. Don't think my mother would like that - even with dementia. Will still keep this option open. Need to investigate VA benefits; decide on whether to have bone marrow biopsy to determine her life expectancy since her recent "possible" MDS diagnosis. She knows I am looking at places and is not happy about it.

Our family had an in person tour with Applewood Lane Place and the tour experience and community was really good

acceptable home; removed from selection due to $4000 monthly charge + $1500 non-refundable move-in fee

One story, 3 private & 2 shared rooms. no private baths private room not available 2 staff 24/7 shared rooms are very small. looks like workstation with no windows, no privacy.

Loved talking to Lori; very knowledgeable.

I visited my uncle here (we have since moved him) and was very sad to hear & witness the disrespect of the staff and owner. The owner spoke to my uncle in my presence, asking him if he was happy and if the nurses treated him well. What is he supposed to say knowing that he has to stay there? And why did you feel the need to ask him this when I arrived? It felt very awkward and strange. I felt incredibly unwelcomed & was spoken down to by the owner as if I didn't understand what my uncle was suffering from. I finally spoke up, asking that she allow me to visit my uncle. Before leaving, I heard one of the nurses yelling at a woman to go back to her room because it wasn't snack time. She looked so timid and afraid. I wish I would have done something then & there and cannot stop thinking about her. I am writing this review, hoping they will be monitored and audited to correct the behavior. Everyone, no matter what their health status is, deserves respect.

My dad was placed here and he was already going into hospice. The owner told me not to tell A Place for Mom that I went there because she did not want to pay the fee. She owns other homes as well. During my dad's last week of his life, one day I went and he was given morphine incorrectly by one of the staff members. Hospice had to come out and figure out what was going on. They came back the next day and the same staff member had given him morphine AGAIN incorrectly and he was completely out of it. My dad passed away at the beginning of the month and I asked for the refund and she said she would give it to me and then ghosted me completely and never gave me the money back. I would never recommend them to others looking.

[Name removed] now owns this home. She is no [name removed]. She has refused to adhere to Covid 19 guidelines. 3 ladies have already died and at least one employee is in a drug induced coma due to the Covid virus. She eventually provided some sort of protection for her other employees and had her son in law come in and put up some plastic sheeting. She is limited to six residents but has at least 7. She places residents from her other houses in this W. Bloomfield location.One of the residents sleeps on the floor because she falls out of bed! Have you ever heard of bedrails??? It would be your duty as the owner/operator. She has not had the home professionally and properly cleaned, she just keeps moving them in. Is it money [name removed]? PLEASE BEWARE! Do not place your loved one anywhere near this home or any of the others that [name removed] owns/operates. I have NEVER met anybody like her. She reminds me of the schoolyard bully with the way she talks to you and treats you. I really have a lot more to say but will end this now as I need to check on another resident,my mother, who is in the hospital for the third time since [date removed].
