Greenbrier Senior Living

This place has recently changed ownership. The new owners are clearly pinching pennies. Staff is poorly supervised. Food used to be good but is now terrible. Serving highly salted and seasoned food to people with health issues is just plain stupid. There are a few good people working here but they are a tiny minority. Stay away from this place.

My Dad is a resident here. It's beautiful and clean facility. Unfortunately we are going to have to move him. The constant staff turnover is a huge issue. The regularly skip giving him meds and have double up his meds other times.

The staff that i met visiting was very nice. I didn't like that it looked really dark. Meals were only served two times a day. The tour guide was very knowledgeable he was able to explain all the paperwork good. They did offer a complimentary meal during the tour. The community was nice and clean.

Employees are nice. Residents are terrible people who seek to take their long-simmering psychological issues out on anyone else to feel better about their themselves. Caregivers are forewarned. Petty jealousy is the name of the game here. And it has nothing to do with distracting themselves from encroaching death and everything to do with middle school, primitive human behavior. Consider it feral pack behavior or sociopathic tendencies, who knows, but new members are quickly inducted into the "way things work." This wasn't my first experience with the geriatric community, Also very White People. Although mgmt seems to be making an effort to change that. Perhaps they got sued. People of color looking to be residents should be wary.

Family member in memory care unit. Activities for these patients is minnimal. Cleanliness of facility is below average. Meals were below average. Obviously meals are served with cost in mind and not nutrition. Meals typically are low quality and not well balanced.

Our mother moved into the Assisted Living part of the facility about 3.5 years ago. We chose this facility because she had Alzheimers and we knew eventually she would need to be moved into the Memory Care Unit. We were somewhat satisfied for the first few years, but the latter part of 2015, we noticed the care and cleanliness had declined considerably. When we addressed each time, we were given lots of excuses and assured they would be fixed. Needless to say they finally were fixed 3 days before our mother passed away. The manager of the facility was not very pleasant.

Sleek warehouse. Pretty but dysfunctional. The employees are very nice, but the system is broken. Nurses in assisted living are pill dispensers only, not alert for problems. That is when nurses are on duty which is not the case all the time as per their literature. Administrators disorganized. 3 months after insurance forms submitted they are still not returned to insurance company.

There was no communication between agency aides. My loved one was left in a w/c overnight. My loved one was on a respite stay, had needs that they assured us could be met. We were very disappointed.

Walked to get some food for my wife’s aunt a young female passed by me smelling as if she’d been smoking pot all day. What a ridiculous way to be at you’re place of work smelling. Good job keep it up.

While the programming and facility at the independent living area here may be great, the area of concern at The Spires is when you or your loved one needs to be escalated to skilled nursing care. My father in law was moved to skilled nursing on Tuesday and it has been a total nightmare. Disinterested nurses and floor staff, incompetence, and a complete lack for human decency. The nurses have ignored his questions and don’t even seem to be willing or capable of taking care of his wound dressing or basic toileting care. The majority of the nursing and CNA staff have been rude to us or have completely ignored us. It was so bad that we even had one woman walk out of the room when we asked her to please explain what they were doing to my father. It has been so sad to watch and is scary enough that we are hesitant to leave him alone. So disappointing that The Spires fails to deliver basic and compassionate health care when it’s needed the most.

Our whole experience was terrible care and food being a negative # it was so bad we moved my mom out within 2 months everyone has excuses as to things not being done properly I will be lodging complaints with the state and anyone else I can as since I left there there has been zero communication from anyone to help get some refunds in process if I do not hear from anyone by the end of the month I will start the process I hope for the other residents they get their stuff together

We are NOT happy with all the staff turnovers! Happens ALL the time! All the other things are a 5 in my book. [name removed] the activity therapist is wonderful! She takes mom to lots of different places all the time. She is the #1 staff member at Timberdale Trace in my humble opinion. I'm happy with her care, just the staffing turnover that frustrates me.

Awful, not the least bit friendly, completely zero professionalism. Awful is my only way to describe. Awful.

My loved one is no longer here, we moved her to a different facility. They need more staff. I only ever saw 2 staff members for 18 residents.

This is the worst place I have been! Most of the staff that works there don't have certificates for home health or CNA. The don't even speak English. The one guy that was always working a double would sleep at night and my loved one told me that he would hit them and was trying to rape them, but since my loved one has memory care issues they weren't going to believe them, but I know my loved one and I know something happened. He wasn't raped cause I took my loved one to the doctor. But he was dramatic.

It was a terrible experience. Do not go. If you are not handicapped, it might be better.

If I could give this facility negative stars, I would. Both of beloved parents live there. It used to be called [community name removed] and in July it switched over to Spectrum. It was bad already, but under Spectrum it has gotten even worse. They are TERRIBLY understaffed. A caregiver approached me on a recent weekend and said, "This place is not safe. You should move your parents somewhere else." The food is not good. You cannot get anyone on the phone. Extremely lengthy response times to hitting call buttons. Activities are limited unless you like Bingo. They WILL NOT call you if there is a problem (parents getting Covid no call...parents falling down multiple times...no call). My dad fell down twice after NO RESPONSE from hitting the call buttons he just got up to do for themselves. We use [company name removed] for occupational therapy and they have said that the place is not good. Look elsewhere.

I placed my dad here. After a few weeks of being there, my dad hadn’t fully adjusted. The psych nurse as well as the head nurse gave him too many psych meds and he was stoned. I asked that he be taken off what was making him that way, reevaluate his meds and put him on something that worked . With Alz, adjustment isn’t easy, as they can be more confused and agitated with change. This place didn’t want to do anything but shove more meds down his throat. After multiple pleas with them , they did nothing. the director of that place called me and was snotty with me telling me that I was getting a “courtesy” call to inform me that my dad was being baker acted for something that happened the day before. I’m his POA, by law they have to call me. I hadn’t gotten a call to tell me that my dad was agitated to begin with. They don’t care about the residents and would rather send them out then help them. They don’t want to deal with anyone who is adjusting. I’ll be making a complaint with ACHA.

The atmosphere in the Atrium is very deceiving. Unreported incidences occur that management skims over. They ignore the attitudes of some of the staff. People are bossing other people around that they have no business bossing. Food doesn't always get to the residents. I would not send anybody there.

Do not waste you time and monies with this place its awful, dangerous/unsafe with no staffing around and they keep everyone dirty/wet with their own urine. The staff are horrible, they don't care and are only there for a paycheck. They seem cheaper but you get what you pay for, stay away!!!!!
