Greenbrier Senior Living

If you’re looking for a facility that genuinely provides assisted living, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. My grandmother lived here for a period of time, and I had a security camera installed in her room due to a traumatic experience at a previous facility. What I observed was extremely disheartening and deeply concerning—not based on hearsay or memory, but on actual recorded evidence. Approximately half of the staff showed a clear lack of compassion and professionalism. Even more disappointing was that this attitude extended to some administrators as well. My grandmother was often treated like a burden for asking for help—whether it was requesting her prescribed inhaler or reporting burning pain during urination. Instead of receiving care, she was made to feel guilty or “needy” for expressing serious health concerns. On more than one occasion, she was threatened by staff that if she continued calling for help, she’d be left out in the dining room so they wouldn't have to

We had a problem when mom fell and had to go to hospital and rehab. After that with no warning they declined taking her back. We had to find another Alf for her. Be very thorough during the contacting phase. Be sure you are aware that they have a 13 minute rule that a patient has to be able to exit the building. Also understand what criteria they use to determine "not fit for ALF". Also ensure you understand what activities are being included in the extra service fee

Don’t let the prestigious “Chagrin Falls” address fool you into thinking this is any kind of an upscale facility. In many ways I found it to deliver substandard care, mostly due to the utter laziness of the care staff. I had to hire outside staff to come in to due things that fell into what the facility was supposed to be doing. Mother left wet and uncared for often, primarily due to laziness of care staff coupled with poor care plan by facility. Promises to improve by department supervisors and director unmet. They do provide plenty of food, however institutionalized and usually cold on delivery. CHICKEN, CHICKEN, CHICKEN!!! Serious lack of parking at entrance. Been told employees not permitted to park there but not enforced. Witness staff playing on cell phones often despite no need to use for job. Experienced rough handling by staff, resulting in bruising and traumatizing of resident. Staff not held responsible for serious oversights in base care. No complaint system in place. MORE!

I'm not too impressed with Hamlet. They are old apt building, and for the cost to live. Food at atrium is very bland.

Elevator out almost a week, frequent busproblems,poor food and often run out of daily specials.

Very strange interactions with the team there. I didn't trust them. We picked Highpoint because that is where Mom and her husband felt most comfortable.

Local Staff tries, but management, especially corporate representatives don't care and are responsible for most issues by lack of involvement and supervision.

Be careful what you get yourself into. My mother passed in March - the employees stole her furniture and slashed her belongings all over her room before we got to her room. Even her pictures and Valentines gifts were all over the floor. We finally were able to meet with the director, who was an absolute disgrace. A regional director did meet with us and was attempting to make multiple amends.

I would not recommend to others.

My mom has lived here for 2 years and I had my fair share of complaints but [Name Removed],the director at the time would always try to fix issues and listen to me and the caregivers concerns.Day or night she was amazing giving it 100%. She sincerely cared for the community and I reached out to express my concerns with her leaving and management didn’t care.Since then I’ve noticed more and more of the flaws. The floor staff are amazing, they put in countless hours and really care about all the residents and my mom. They can’t keep a nurse longer than 3 months, my mom’s meds were not working like we had hoped and the clinical staff didn’t try to dig deep to figure out the root cause. The dietary staff are very rude (from the dietary director to the pm server) and the food is not worth the cost. [Name Removed]the cook is amazing with the residents. The sales lady walks around and cant have a real conversation with the residents or the families and doesn’t know the residents names. I hope things change??

They really oversell the cleaning of the rooms, laundry service and compassion of the staff. The sales director is amazing, the executive director is ok, and the office manager is not a people person. I'm in HR and I feel like her delivery is very passive aggressive. My dad was never late on his rent except the last two months bc of funding and trying to time his move with availability of assisted living. She is so hateful. He's now at [facility name removed] and the staff is much friendlier and so much more compassionate. Night and day difference. He loves it. He was so ready to move from RCG. For the money they charge for independent living I would recommend someone simply getting a really luxurious apartment outside of senior community. They don't clean rooms or do laundry as we had been told. They don't check on the people each morning as they said they did. I'm not a complainer but I just knew it was a matter of time before I blew up on the office manager [name removed]

There is not enough staff, even for half full. On a good day, there might be three aides and a med tech at night. Recently, they had to call in two people who were scheduled to be off because all five of the people scheduled to work called in sick. Just to have staff there over night. The door greeters are friendly and the three kitchen staff also asks how you're doing. The 2nd Director is trying, but overwhelmed. The chef makes tasty meals. My mom doesn't eat them, but I sampled a few and they were very good. The Activities Director is the best. She tries hard to get clients to participate in activities. She does a lot of things. At a cost of several thousand dollars a month, I am getting robbed because of lack of people to care for my mom. There is not enough staff to run this facility.

Memory care is routinely understaffed as reported my employees who say they are overwhelmed with responsibilities. Ratio of "care partners" to residents seems to be 1:12, where I should be 1:6. Also it's my experience daily enrichment actives are canceled for vague or unknown reasons leaving memory care residents idle with only the TV as their "activity" for days up to a week or longer. The only memory care patio is walled off with a privacy fence making their outdoor area much like just another room with limited to no visibility of nature or the feeling of being outside.

Palmetto landing was very 50/50 for me. It's aged, a lot, and visually it appears a little tired. Little things like stains on the carpet, smells in some places. Staff seemed very kind, and all the residents I saw seemed happy.

Aldea Green smelled like pee. All the residents gathered in the center atrium by the entrance, they looked bored & uninspired. It made me sad though, I liked that room the best & I liked that it was a smaller community.

I had a negative tour experience with Lighthouse Senior Living. The facility was not clean, staff and residents were not nice, and they only had 1 working elevator. I did not like anything about this facility, it kind of seemed like a dump. It made all of the others we looked at look amazing.

During the initial visit, HP talked up the amazing food. It's average at best.

This community was not community orientated and felt more like a hospital with medical carts in the hallways. There also was a high sales pitch which was uncomfortable to me. The community was also older and could have used some updates.

You can do better than here and go elsewhere. Our experience is all shaded by the pandemic and possibly the entire industry. Overall they do a good job of warehousing people. We have residents that haven't moved out of their rooms due to handicaps. The service and menu selections are good in our opinion. Breakfast is served in the residents rooms. We are tired of Styrofoam. We are ready to be in the dining room. We are just getting to the point to socialize with other residents. There is no communication with the residents from the management team. The community is nice and beautiful, but they need more activities available for the residents.

The staff members were awesome, and I never really got to eat the meals there except during the lock down and the food was good. I do wish they had more activities while i was there, but the activities were limited. When they did offer them up it was on a first come first serve bases so you had to hurry and sign up. The price was way to high, but it really was a home away from home.
