Frontier Senior Living

Terrible experience from beginning. Initially was told that dad would be placed in a private or double room until his behaviors could be accessed and matched with another roommate. However the first night he was there, I was called and told his roommate didn't appreciate him being there. He was yelled and cursed at by the roommate so they wanted to transfer to another room across the hall with another new roommate. I was stunned after being told he would be in a private room initially. Asked them to place him in private room at a cost of $10,000/month so that no one would yell/curse at him anymore!!!!!!! We ended up paying the $10,000/month while dad's initial roommate is still in double room by himself and paying the double room rate, much less that the private room rate we are paying????? In addition, while medical staff tried to balance his meds making him dizzy and unable to walk steadily, he started falling down. Dad had never fallen down prior to coming to Silverado. Discovered the first fall myself. Dad had bruises on face and bottom, and swollen knee, however staff had no clue that he had fallen despite the many visual indications. Even though dad fell many more times during period of trial and error on his meds, nothing was done to help prevent him from falling, or adjust meds to not make him so dizzy where he was unable to walk. Then the big fall came that was severe enough for us to take him to ER. CAT scan revealed that his neck was fractured and had a pneumonia infection too which causes more confusion in dementia patients. Staff at Silverado had no clue that he even had pneumonia even though he had been examined by doctor 2 days before. We noticed that he was coming down with something the day before his fall due to his coughing and chest pain. Staff is not trained enough to recognize when patients need assistance. Now with 12 - 14 days left to live, even though didn't have much quality of life before the fall, he now has absolutely none and fell that they didn't do enough to keep my father safe. I wish I would have kept him at home now.

Your nurse named [name removed] is very rude and unprofessional. Train your staff on how to be polite. She's raising her voice and is very unsrespectful. How could you have a staff like that if you are caring for old people?

I will never use this facility again. After Mom stayed there a few days and was returned to our home, she arrived in poor condition. She had half of her undergarments on and she was soiled. There was dried vomit on her face. Another resident's narcotic prescriptions were given to us. Her medications were missing, so I had to drive back there to pick them up. One of them was lost. It took two days at home for her to recover. In spite of a verbal agreement from the director that Mom's clothing would be washed, it was not. The soiled clothing was in plastic bags in her suitcase. Our CNA visited the director's office to address concerns, but he went into his office and closed the door.

For the amount of money you will be paying at this place it is really lacking. Activities do not get done. Short staffed, nurse that does not complete assessments, lack of supplies including gloves for staff.

The building was nice, now it smells, carpet is dirty. One housekeeper doesn't have to do any work because she is a friend of the VP of the company.The laundry person is the laziest of the whole bunch, but if the manager tries to get them to actually work, then they claim it is a hostile work environment. What a bunch of BS! Nurses and caregivers spend most of their day outside smoking while the residents lay in their wet beds.

I brought my mom here and would come visit everyday so I soon got attached to other residents as well and saw horrible care given to them. I saw residents crying that were being ignored and residents they never even got out of bed. The only time I witnessed good care was on swing shift, Mickey was an amazing med aide and for that I think her. The only caregivers I felt cared were Sydney , Janet, Brittney, and Vicki and for that i also thank them. I felt as if my mom was very unsafe unless she was in there care. I moved her to a new facility and she's doing much better than she was when she was at Arbor Oaks, and she still asks about those 5 caregivers who I sadly heard resigned not long after mom left. I would not recommend this facility to anyone!
