Enriched Senior Living

My mom and dad moved in to Autumn Oaks assisted living the end of 2011. In the beginning everything was going great. The staff was wonderful the food was awesome. A month after moving in the managers changed, everything went downhill from there. The staff had a turnover rate of 4 people a week. The good ones moved on to better paying jobs. The food is absolutely horrible. They made my mother move out because they didn't want to care for her. To this day I feel that was the beginning of the end for her, being separated from my father was more than she could handle. She passed away 7 months later. This is supposed to be an age in place establishment, but only if you age the way they want. Now they are raising the rent 800. dollars a month if my father wants to stay there after 4 years. The director takes no responsibility for anything, it's always someone else's fault. Do not put your loved ones here!

Not a forever home as expected and needed....New Haven needs to improve their skills in most areas of care and support. Caregivers are caring enough but administration is apathetic and though it is a lovely place at first glance....needs so much more.

My parent has been a resident there and yes, albeit new and aesthetically pleasing it is wrought with problems! Unhappy staff and constant turn-over! Residents left alone, staff not showing up, poor attitudes, cost cutting measures and so on..... Please ask many questions before putting your loved one there. They put on a very good show up front to get you in ( like many places do) and then the problems begin! For the money they charge, they need to really step it up!!

We were suppose to receive a prorated refund for 9 days[Amount Removed], after my brothers death. They keep an additional 2 weeks even after room is cleared. We can't get [Names Removed] or corporate to return calls or emails, although we were promised refund end of April credited to account. Be distrustful of financial dealings!

They don't deal with falling very well. Their staff doesn't seem to have the training to handle getting an elderly man up from the floor. My father-in-law was in essence kicked out in less than a week because they couldn't deal with his falling even though we let them know that falling was an issue. He had significant dementia and could be troublesome.

My mother was at the facility for 2 weeks. It was not a good fit. It is a nice facility and most of the staff were kind. However, the director was very rude and condescending when I told her I would be moving my mom. She then took it upon herself to disparage us. I still don't have my refund from the days she told us we would be refunded. My calls and emails remain unanswered.

My loved one was a resident at New Haven Assisted Living and Memory Care of Wylie. Her experience at this facility was not good. I absolutely would not recommend this facility to anyone. It was not a good experience for us at this facility.

I would not recommend this community to others. The staff and the executive staff really don't care they focus on getting in the door and then they just don't care about your loved one. Communication was very bad and I could not get a return call or email.

You should look elsewhere, I would not recommend this community to others. The communication was very poor, we had to connect with the regional director to get ahold of someone.

This is the worst place for your LO. It looks great, but the owners and management does not care all they care about is their bottom line. Care givers and not trained at all, some of the care givers are really trying and do the best that they can, but without training it is not working. The food is the worst, they eat cold lunches and dinners. Tons of drama at this place!!! Please try and find a different place if you can...….

Memory care is quiet, sad, and stagnant. Only music for residents was my moms CD player and the 50’s oldie CDs we provided. Corporate snobs came and made staff remove the CD player, saying it “didn’t match Devore and looked tacky”. Activities are mainly in AL building and w/c dementia folks are excluded. Mom wasn’t sleeping and a sleep med was ordered, but nurse missed order and med was in the facility, but not given for 6 weeks. Nurse lied about the medication even after I verified it was delivered by pharmacy 6 weeks prior AND got the original order from Dr PLUS a picture of the full card on medication. The nurse instead got orders to increase daytime agitation meds which made mom lethargic all day, and sleeping most of day. Lack of activity caused a rapid decline, and within 5 months, she was unable to walk and feed herself. Watched a caregiver shovel huge spoonfuls of food in another residents mouth so fast, the lady kept coughing and choking. That resident died a few weeks later, and I suspect from aspiration pneumonia. There were several safety concerns, and Fire Marshall’s had to come out to address these issues on more than one occasion. Employees admitted to working there over 6 months with no fire drills or tornado drills.... not a place I felt safe to keep mom in. Caregivers ( some of them) truly tried and cared, but not enough staff. I only saw 5-7 residents in facility. Doubt it will ever get full with this kind of care. Corporate folks are rude, uncaring, and only worried about appearance and decor. Don’t even know the residents names. Sad shame.....

We had to move my mom because she had bed sores and they were not giving her her medications when she was supposed to get them, so she was in a lot of pain. I would tell others that if your family member cannot take care of themselves, you should not send them here. We were promised a lot of things up front and they were not able to follow through on them. We had a terrible experience with them and would not recommend them to others who are looking.

Mom lived in Memory Care for 5 months. The management was terrible! Corporate is only worried about matching decor and making money. Residents that can walk are left to wander around like lost kittens.... Hardly any activities go on in Memory Care. They gave them play dough... Mom ate hers..... The chair bound residents are usually sitting in recliners for 8-12 hours a day with the same tv station playing. Weekends were stagnant unless we or another family brought in goodies. We put a CD player in the dining room with some 50’s cd’s. The residents loved it! Until the corporate lady came in and made staff remove it because she said it “looked tacky” and didn’t go with the “decor”. Food was horrible and always cold. Staff always working short and very underpaid. Just an overall BAD experience and definitely not worth what they charge! Mom lost the ability to walk and feed herself while there. Since we’ve moved out, she’s much better!

I would never have my LO live this facility! Management is the worst! This assisted living has no activity for the residence. The food was terrible! All these residences do all day is sit and watch TV or eat. The care givers can do only what they are taught. It looks nice and clean but looks can be deceiving ..Management is only in it for the money at New Haven!

Everything was good until the end. My mother passed away [date removed]. She was in a medical institution not related to Autumn Oaks for a month and a half before her death. Because my mother did not give 30 days notice concerning here death management would not refund her deposit to her heirs. My question. How do you give 30 days notice that you are going to die? We gave them the apartment back three days after my mother died and 15 days before the lease was up. No one lived there for 45 days. Rent was paid even though no one was there These people are all about the money. Ridiculous!!!!
