Gardant Management Solutions

Was not impressed. Facility appeared neglected, dreary. Your guide was very nice but said she was new, so didn’t give me the impression she knew much about the operations. The patients there were overly happy, as if they were “dosed”. Yet workers did not smile. Too much concentration taking us through the section of people having dementia, which we were not interested in, which made us uncomfortable. PLEASE do not contact me further about this place.

The food selection is poor. Employee turnover is terrible. Kindness of the employees is good, and staff communication is fair.

Communication is awful, CNA's are lazy, we have to Constantly get on the the staff for updates and care. One time mom was sent to ER - family didn't even find out until the arm band was seen on her nightstand! Some things have been worked on others a "work in progress"

The price was half the other recommended. In less than a realized this was not the place I wanted. Odor horrific at times. Wet clothing left in room. Floor left dirty after meals. Food trays brought into room and not set up for totally blind person. If a patient did not wake up to eat, the tray was left , then picked up untouched later. Patients sitting in communal areas were not checked for patients needing attention. 90% of the time the food was good. Frequently, short staffed with aides working overtime. Water cups Frequently not reachable. Do not remember the staff ever being disrespectful.

The staff were excellent. The food was subpar at best. The management was awful. It is a beautiful facility. Unfortunately, the management did not communicate with us.

The building is not wheelchair friendly no doors on bathroom or bedroom to accommodate standard wheelchairs Call light response always greater than the 7-8 minutes they advertise. looks great in the lobby and dining room but the actual cleanliness of the rooms is poor we had to wait 3 weeks to get a housekeeper just recently so they didn't clean her room until I complained and then 2 weeks no cleaner ok we put her on the Thursday schedule again not done ok we will rotate to Friday and I leave for 2 weeks come back her flats aren't done again I talk to the desk oh she has been moved to a Monday rotation for cleaning so unless I complain it doesn't get done. that is how we choose them but the dining help, move in specialist people at the front desk the activities coordinator who are the friendliest aren't the ones giving care many of the aides are short and rude not all ones like [name removed] and [name removed] are great but you don't get them every day. she is now on hospice and not near the end but they are providing aides Monday thru Friday because of the lack of care from GlassPeaks staff and to be honest if she was my mom and not someone my dad married I would move her They also provide nursing 2 times of week because their nurses don't even check on her except quarterly when they evaluate how much they can charge me for her care If I go to the office to complain they will check on her but I shouldn't have to do it constantly. When I asked for the facility severe weather protocol the head nurse didn't know what it was had to contact the administration and even that took over 30 days to get. you must email them if you can't catch them in the office and except for the lead nurse and of course billing they take sometimes up to a week to get a response. she likes it most of the time but because she is in the bed most of the time and it takes 2 people to get her she hasn't been to the dining room since March but they charge her an extra 5 for each meal they deliver to her room. they are good and [name removed] tries to get people involved. overall for almost [removed] a month it is 1. Like I said some of the issues have developed over time as [name removed] is hard to deal with and manipulative and the staff is not encouraging to her to get up and do things because let's face it is easier to go into a room and say would you like to shower and for her to say later at 10 and then never come back to do it. Some aids have gone as far to tell new staff don't do anything for [name removed] unless she asks you to do they just come in once a shift or so "do you need anything" and of course her answer is no until I get there

I have to rate it a generous two.. In fact we are moving my parents out at the end of the month.. The apartment was not move in ready and it took a week for them to address the issues.. It took them over a month for them to get their medical needs taken care of and in wasn't until we had to get the general manager of operations involved to get it done. Communication on laundry and house keeping was not given.. My father has had to do their laundry and only one of the four washer/dryers actually works.. I'm giving it two stars because although inefficient, most staff were friendly and the food was fine..

Their head staff team member [name remove]is unpleasant and does not return phone calls . I like the staff members but she needs to be replaced. Send no one there that has a colostomy. They were not trained as they said they were in order to take care of my mom. It was terrible

My elderly friend doesn’t really care for the food, except for a few items. She also feels it is dirty and the housekeeping staff do not do a good job with her room. One time, one of the laundry staff didn’t show and she was without clean clothes for ten days. She said most of the staff is not friendly. I must tell you that she can be difficult and is very hard of hearing and has poor vision so that limits her interaction with others. The building is 40 years old and is worn. It shows. She is not happy.

There was never adjustment for special meal requirements- mom needed soft food and the liquid Food in general was just ok, there was not a cook they just reheated prepared meals Having nurses in charge of this facility should of made the facility better but they did not like to be questioned or corrected, which is what occurred between them and the hospice nurse. When we did a review of moms care they lied about moms ability which was a last straw but nothing to be done because I was aware that we were in moms last weeks. Mom was assaulted by another resident last fall, which was stopped by a staff member but it was not handled well. They then offered my mom a space in memory care which was ok. The memory care has a good reputation with hospice and the aides and med techs for the most part were excellent. They like all places had problems with staff shortages. I did hire sitters for mom and they covered every afternoon into evening for 4-5 hours. The facility told me they (the sitters) were not necessary but they were my eyes when I wasn't there so I'm sure they improved the care. If there would be any thing that I would say about future residents - they should not have problems and be able to move themselves (use wheelchair with out assistance).

My experience with Oasis at 56th Street was extremely unpleasant. I always went outside to smoke but due to having Covid, I was confined to my room. I lit one cigarette and a nurse walked in on me. I was evicted and they kept my rent refund. [name removed] on the 2nd floor and [name removed] on the 4th floor smoke openly every day and go unpunished. My watch was stolen and they took my laundry and it was never returned. The food leaves a lot to be desired and it's always cold. One day when I was sick, I ask a nurse if she would take my temperature and she sent me on a wild goose chase looking for a thermometer. None was found. BED BUGS throughout the community. They took every article of clothing I own and kept it for 2 weeks. I showered daily but had to wear the same dirty clothes. Privacy is out of the question - they freely use a pass key to walk in on you.

I would say there are a some great caregivers who were. Good to my mom. Alot of turnover of staff and short on nights. Do not particularly care for upper management and [name removed]I feel I had to be very present and do many things for my mom myself. I would not necessarily recommend the facility.

My mother was approved to go there in Assisted Living. That surprised me and I told them that, but they said she had been evaluated and qualified. She was there for basically a week and was sent by them to the hospital and was not allowed to return because she could not stand and pivot on her own. The facility itself is wonderful.

Our loved one had spent several months at Carriage Court and we have to say it was a very poor experience. They have changed executive directors since then, but all of their system they have in play are not good. Everything from food, to individual service, to their follow throughs with personal care and just everything in general need to be worked on. We were paying more and receiving much less.

The staff tries, but they are sorely understaffed and over worked like every other facility.

Every time I come to visit my loved one is just sitting in her room. There is never anything going on for the residents. Whenever I go visit I have a hard time finding any staff to get any information. There has been some miscommunication with staff and they are very organized at all. When I looked at the facility at first, I really liked it because there is a great bit field in the back but my loved one has not been able to use it once and that was the main reason we sent her there. The staff try to tell me that my loved ones dog is using the bathroom inside but we know for a fact that that is not true. Overall it has not been a good experience.

Minimal help with ADLs. RN works 40 hr wk, not there nights/weekends. Family told all staff in-house but aides mostly agency = rotating strangers providing care. "Good" activities, going out somewhere are RARE. On Medicaid? [price removed] left after cable/phone, you can't go unless family pays. HUGE positive is Medicaid residents get private room. [price removed]+/mo private pay. Our big problem - LACK OF PROMISED CARE/ACTIVITIES. Treated like complainers by apathetic Administrator when we pointed out specific items in Dad's contract not being done. No 2/wk showers, aides spent under 10 mins/day interacting with him, they complained LOUDLY if he'd buzz for a little help standing up from toilet. Calendar activities a joke, shows many daily options but most are lame worksheets left on door to be done alone. Contract states care and activity plan individual to Dad's needs, never happened. Activity woman snippy when asked about activity plan. Average food. Waiting on partial refund 3 mos after move-out.

Life here used to be great and now it’s not unfortunately because I’m stuck living here

The community has had some staffing issues and the care that they have provided was sub-par at best. No communication until we told them we were leaving and I saw the director for the first time after 90+ days. The food was inconsistent and the staffing could be rude. The corporate office did listen and was able to help fix some of the issues.

We did a virtual tour with this community. We did not feel like we could get a good feel for the community that way.The staff was nice and did answer our questions
