Dominion Senior Living

This facility was rather nice. However, one concern I had was that the activities that were offered were primarily devotional, which does not very much suit my loved one. This is the primary reason that we did not choose this facility.

Make sure that you reach out to the staff to get information because nothing is volunteered to the family. There is no sharing of information on how your loved one is doing. Make sure to stay involved and be an advocate. They also have 19 Covid cases in the facility as well. They are still allowing family to go in even with these positive cases.

Went back and forth with director to get things right but always went back to the issues we had. Mom didn't get regular showers. Feet stunk and skin was awful looking. Food was like what you might see in a ghetto pre school. Did not put her compression socks on every day which was doctor orders. Would let her sleep for days setting up in her chair. Legs stayed swollen. I had her with me for less than 2 weeks and all these issues went away.

Dominion of Florence could be honest with family members instead of hiding injuries and illness. Hire the right people and train their staff to deal with dementia.

Dominion of Anderson is a wonderful facility. It is clean, with kind and caring staff, good people, and great food. Unfortunately, my mom was not a good candidate and they couldn't house her in either Assisted Living or Memory Care after attempting to move her there. It is an unsecured facility where people can easily leave the premises if they don't want to be there, which was the case with my mom. I wish I had known that their Memory Care wing was unsecured before moving my mom's belongings and some of her furniture there. I would have given this place a 3-star rating (for my experience) if they had not cashed the check I wrote them with my mom only spending a total of 2 hours there. It took a little over a month to get the money back. Also, I wasn't offered much in the way of help when it came to moving her stuff back to her house.

Dominion of Florence community needs more staff for number of residents. They need to be better trained on how to approach residents with dementia.

I'm not happy with them and wouldn't recommend the community to anyone. The community was supposed to start Physical Therapy with my loved one and they never received this. The family had to pay for the pendant to call for assistance for our loved one to use. There was a time that the staff told my loved one to stop pressing the pendant because they were pressing it too much. Also, if the resident pushed the button it would clear the original time stamp. The family even saw that it took more than 5 minutes and the staff never show up after the call button being pushed. The family was left alone with all memory care residents during meal times. There is one staff member for 17 residents. I feel the staff aren't trained that the community hires people off the street. My loved one was sent to the hospital from the community dehydrated, malnourished and pneumonia. The staff would walk away from assisting my loved one with showering, even though the family requested assistance with showering.

My mother only stayed there one month. It was so bad I had to pull her out of there. I was promised things that my mother would receive and never did. They told her if she wanted to eat she had to leave the room. So I was bringing my mother food that was supposed to be served instead I was having to bring her food. She was supposed to get a beeper to get ahold of staff. They told my mother if she fell down craw to the bathroom room and pull the emergency cord. I never did get my deposit back nothing. That has got be the armpit of the world. They were rude called me a liar to my face. That's one thing I can not stand for is a liar. And that's exactly what they did to me. They would serve cokes and anything they wanted. The people down stairs were my mother was you only get tea or water. It was like I was putting her in prison bread and water only. Upstairs you order anything you want. They treated my and my whole family with disrespect but took my deposit after treating me and my family like crap and I do mean crap . Since that time my mother passed in may of this year. If it wasn't for going back and forth to Tennessee I would have sued them for everything they have. But I was trying to take care of my mother. I never would have thought that anybody could be as heartless and cruel to a person. I would not recommend this place to keep a dog. It was so so bad people in the hallway peeing on their self and nurses walking right by it was pathetic. I could go on but that alone was bad enough.

The staff have been wonderful. My dad is very comfortable with them. . They're local, very accommodating & they seem to truly care.

Would not recommend for a person with memory care. They are understaffed and pushy. That is what set my husband off 3 times and told not to come back. They ripped me off for my payment. He is doing so much better at his new facility. Not as fancy but he is gaining weight back and they even take him places. It was a mess from the start. The people are always out eating somewhere instead of doing the job. Rating of poor for memory care and the manager [name removed] has no empathy.

[name removed] was the intake specialist. She was very nice and helpful. Once my mom was in facility she got an UTI very quickly and was sent to hospital and then moved from assisted living to memory care. Days later the staff allowed an unauthorized niece to unlawfully take my mom out of the memory care facility against my wishes. I was the POA for my mom. Needless to say the story is much longer but I was highly disappointed in the staff and Director. The Director left his employment very soon after. Whether he resigned or was fired is unknown to me. I would not refer anyone to that facility ever!

My opinion was it was a very nice looking place. She was there two days they sent her to hospital and then notified me she couldn't come back so I had to move her again. Last year was horrific. They made it even worse. Get an elder care lawyer to teach you the steps. Most people have no idea what they are doing and are desperately looking for guidance.

Seemed to be a nice place, but as time went on, I was not at all happy. The doctor and three nurses told me to get him out of Dominion ASAP and they said not to delay even if I had to take him out of there myself.

I was n a emergency situation with my father who has dementia and had became very violent towards me. I needed to place him asap . This is the only place that returned my calls. That being said . Dad never stayed one night there . It's very pricey. He was never released from the hospital. He could never afford to pay what they wanted a month. He got a check back for [removed] I paid over [removed]!!!! To bad for you !!!! You signed a contract so do not go there unless you are 100 % sure !!! I think it was pretty crappy of them not give some money back more than [removed] .. They do not care..

I would not recommend sending anyone to the Dominion. First, we paid extra for my father to have the call button since he was an one person assist to help him in the bathroom in the shower. What would a typical older person do if they press the call button that they wear around their neck, and no one comes? people would push the call button again, correct? Well at their senior living facility if you press it a second time, the call button is turned. They also told my father to quit pushing the call button and took it away from him. That is bullshit! Secondly, as I stated earlier, my father was a one person assist. They refused to help him on and off the toilet. They refused to help him take a shower. I honestly believe that putting my father in the dominion contributed to an earlier death. When he was admitted the last time to the hospital, he was diagnosed with malnutrition in dehydration. and where was he living at that time? The Dominion. My father was supposed to start physical therapy within 10 days of the start of his residency, that did not occur. My father was also supposed to be on insulin and blood thinners at his stay at the Dominion. They were not giving him insulin or his blood thinners because I don't know why they could never tell me the reason why he could not get his medicine. The memory care unit at the dominion is a joke, the ones that were in diapers, wet and smelly diapers all day. They were only nice when they knew somebody was around. The first day we moved my father in, my son press the call button. No one came so he gave them a a bad review on Google. The next day I went to go visit my father I get called into the office and got yelled at because of a review that my son put based on his experience with his grandfather at this living senior facility, I'm sure I can go on for another 10 pages, but in my personal experience, this place needs to be shut down.

My friend stayed only one (1) night at the Dominion. Although we didn’t know it at the time, she was beginning to deteriorate badly, both physically as well as mentally. After falling three times her second day there, I was called and told she was being taken to FRM=C; they were afraid she’d broken her hip. The next day, I was called and told she could not return to the Dominion. I’m still waiting for a partial refund of her first month’s rent, more than two months after she left the facility and three weeks after she died.

My aunt died after being there 1 month. I believe Dominion is directly responsible for her death. Nursing care services were not good. She had multiple falls and UTI's while there. She became septic. They were not providing adequate care. It was a heartbreaking experience.
