I would rate them high at first, but closer to the end it was not good. My dad was in a lock-down unit with other dementia patients and they reduced their staffing to 2 staff members per 16 people. I would not place any blame on the front-line people here, management just does not properly staff. I would not recommend this facility. It has been 50 days and counting and I am still waiting to be reimbursed after my dad has passed.

ESL is not currently a good facility for the memory care unit. The have had a lot of staff turnover the last year. So, no development in operational improvements. They had staff that was not providing good care. Short staffing levels at various times throughout the day. Supervision is limited so limited training and knowledge of who does and does not do a good job. So, family can not be comfortable with their care of their loved ones. But, the current staff is making some progress to have the same staff in the unit so they can know the residents and their need and behavior. And the residents can start to know them and feel comfortable with them. They have dismissed several who were not providing good care for the residents. But, still a ways to go for good care.

I would not recommend this facility. They let their residents sleep all night in their own soaked urine bedding. When asked to have your loved one walked to the bathroom, they say they will and things will change - but sadly nothing changes.

Started out good. Medications were over welming. Constantly given behaverial meds. We understood some of the need but not sure of the Doctor and how they monitored the resident. Change of management and short staffing issues. Not able to care with end of life. They need more staffing and Registered Nursing in house daily. We needed closure no contact from management or headquarters after letters were written. This was poor from the facility. Management within the Lancaster facility was all different including staff.

Really low functioning Alzheimer's unit. That one seemed more on the lines of basically where people have reached a point beyond cognizance. If they had been pets, their owners would have put them down. This was the last one we visited before we moved my mom, and of course her memory is bad, so she thought that she was moving here. She got completely stressed out and upset.

Very dark and depressing entry and hallways. Reminded me of a funeral home. Apartments were big but not conducive to senior living esp. stoves and bathtubs. The employee giving the tour was totally uninformed about the facility. Not impressed at all.Very few residents out and about. Seemed deserted!

I called to visit the facility and when we arrived there was no one around. Several residents were in the entry but no staff members could be found. A visitor told me this is not uncommon there is never enough staff. The rooms in memory care are very small and you are not allowed to bring any furniture except what is provided for you which is minimal.it was explained that their furniture does not absorb odors. There is one staff member at night for 18 people. I was told that there is no nurse at night but she is on call. The price started at 4700 and then add on levels of care , cable and laundry. The building looks fine but cannot believe you are going to get and personal attention here. The staff members did not even know each others names. Residences in memory care can attend activities in the assisted living if there is enough staff to take them.

My loved one was here for a time, and our experience was not a good one. They're all about the money here. They were lacking in every category, activities, friendliness, care, food, etc. From the management all the way down the care staff everything got a thumbs down, service was slow, impersonal, and poor all around. The only thing they were diligent about was making sure their bills got out on time.

This place has changed so much. It smells awful, and residents are walking around unchnaged in filthy briefs. Staff is so rude and has been a revolving door. Management changes have had a negative impact on morale overall. Very disappointing. Very expensive.

Do not send your loved one to this AL. Don't be fooled by the pretty front lobby - Fresh paint & new furniture cannot fix poor management. Call response metrics are false- they turn off bell & return an hour ltr to keep high response metric. One med tech uses racist language & her domineering attitude permeates the place affecting other staff. Management does not reigns her in despite formal complaints & notices to corporate offices. In fairness, there are a few good aides, but overall there is no "care mentality" like other places-it's more like warehousing. My loved one waited 3 hours to have her brief changed. Medication management is a ripoff forcing you to use their 3rd party service and the "Wellness" Center is a joke-run by an unchecked incompetent unqualified administrator. Medication errors are not uncommon. Staff trash residents rooms & do not clean up after themselves. On the plus side, activities programming, facilities maintenance, front desk, & food service are good.

I would never have a loved one move in to New Haven Court, especially in memory care the lack of staff, the lack of communication and the overall cleanliness was very, very poor

My loved one was very upset with the quality of care, attention to medication requirements. My opinion is take it off your list as it only proves that you get what you pay for. They used unqualified people and failed to give medication as prescribed.

They can improve on, the people in charge., and cleanliness. I called MANY times to get my bill straightened out, and even went over a couple times. People were not there to talk to and NOONE ever called me back after leaving mulitiple messages. I wouldnt take my dog there.

Our family was very disappointed with Chestnut Ridge. They made a mistake in our loved one's medication. And they were not very attentive to him or very aware of his condition. The cost is great, but we've learned that you get what you pay for.

I would not recommend this community to anyone. My loved one was only there for 4 days. We found our loved one in clothes that weren't his. Our loved one was left alone. The staff said that it was shift change and he would have to wait, since he was alone. My loved one got an infection due to him not being checked on. They wanted to charge for the whole month, even thought my loved one was there for only 4 days. I feel they are short staffed.

[Name removed] REVIEW' Glen Mills Senior Living-EDITH W. (continued 'part 2' after"because if all the bells and whistles going off!") NOTE: Facts contained herein can be verified thru PA Dept. of Human Svcs. and/or PA State Police. ....I'll NEVER forget that comment of disinterest as long as I live! After reaching Dad's room, I found him in ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE!!! No one had given him the doctor prescribed albuterol because no one had looked in on him to see if he needed it or not, violating specific doctor's orders to "keep him on a short trigger"..keep a very close watch on him. I didn't even need a stethoscope to hear the gurgling of the accumulated fluid in Dad's lungs. He had all the covers up on him, all his clothes were on plus a sweater and a towel was folded in half over his head, he placed there to keep the light out so he could sleep. No checks on him, no care, no albuterol, NOTHING! Dad's Death Certificate reads at letter 'D': Cause of Death- RSV as the originating cause of Death.Glen Mills Senior Living even failed to get him to the Emergency Room as they had done for Mom without doctor's orders. I had to drive him to the Energency Room myself, as no one offered to do anything for him. And we're paying over $6K per month for this? As for Five Star parent company...they're no better. The Reg. Dir. of Operations, the Reg. Dir. of Healthcare Svcs. and the Pres. and CEO did nothing. After Mom's return from the hospital, we reported incident after incident in accordance with our Residency Agreement. One such incident whereby a nurse who was giving a breathing treatment to Mom by mask, strapped the mask over my 91 1/2 ye old Mother's face and left the room, for getting to turn on the air compressor that supplies the air to breathe in the mask along with the albuterol and budesonide medication. When the nurse saw me arriving downstairs, it surely reminded her of something important, BECAUSE, she literally raced up the stair tower steps(I took the elevator as usual),arriving together at Mom's front door. Both of us entering as the Nurse exclaimed: "Oh my God, I forgot to turn it on!" as I watched Mom's rib cage rising and falling quickly, with her gasping for breath I saw the mask on Mom's face. Both Corporate and the facility disavowed the fact that Mom was almost suffocated ; instead promoting the statement that "the nurse never put the mask on Mom's face and had been called away on another emergency! AND that "she didn't suffer from any clinical issues!" Our family experienced total denial! WHAT A LIE! I was actually there and I saw the mask on Mom's face with her gasping for air when I entered the room with NO AIR COMPRESSOR RUNNING, just as the nurse had exclaimed. with my own two eyes. Do you want LIES AND COVERUPS as a main ingredient of your Loved One's care? Even the PA Dept. of Human Svcs. did nothing as they were trying to get the facility's 'Provisional License' restored to 'Regular Lic.' by October,2019. Because of this, the incident has been referred to The Insoector General of Pennsylvania's Office with Senator [name removed] spearheading the investigation into the PA Dept of Human Svcs. inaction concerning the facility negligence, including our Father's wrongful death and our Mother's breathing treatment gone horribly wrong and an additional matter I have first hand knowledge of, per the PA Dept. of Human Svcs. report to Corporate Pres. and CEO of Five Star: of a woman who choked to death on a hotdog while eating in the dining room at GMSL. A report was filed with the PA Dept of Human Svcs. indicating that firstly: no staff members in the Dining area at the time had training in performing the 'Heimlich Manuever' and secondly as I read the detailed report that: no one had called for EMT assistance until 17 minutes after the female resident lay aspirations on the floor.When EMT's arrived in the dining room, she was deemed dead at the scene. Is this the type of facility you want your family member staying at? Don't chance your Loved One's lives at this despicable personal care facility. Yes it is a 'personal care' facility and it is NOT covered under the statues of 'Assisted Living' facilities covered by the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals in Harrisburg, PA . Our own attorney didn't even know this, but now YOU DO!! The Five Star Corporate Attorney Firm took advantage of this and had our Dear Mother evicted..yes, evicted at 91 1/2 years old because the Judge declined to render an opinion since his Court did not cover 'Personal Care Homes' and a PA Dept. of Human Svcs. Licensing Manager, who wanted to restore the facilities 'Provisional' license to 'regular' license wrote a letter stating that our Mother was "a burden to the facility" and our family did not have further funds to fight the case. It cost us $5K in attornies fees, a life changing upheaval for our Mother and a New Community Fee of $3,500 at Sunrise Assisted Living which, by our personal witness, is far superior in EVERY way to what we experienced at Glen Mills Senior Living. The Director at the PA Dept. of Human Svcs Headquarters in Harrisburg has been given the assignment of investigating all of the elements of this horrible Senior Living experience...one of total incompetence! Please check for yourself, if you desire further substantiation prior to making your decision. Go on the PA Dept. of Human Svcs and enter in the appropriate fields: Personal Care Homes, Southeastern Office Delaware County, Glen Mills, 19342, Flen Mills Senior Living and go from there, perusing all the violations submitted to The Corporate Pres. and CEO's office. Thank you for caring enough about your Loved One to heed this honest, but painfully accurate review [removed] Mills Senior Living now appears to be under new ownership..No longer Five Star Senior Living, but now SNH Penn Tenant LLC, also located in Newton, Massachussetts, however. Recommend investigating further into their 'new' operating license that runs from [dates removed], keeping in mind that it's only a piece of paper. Based on your knowledge of all the lying, corporate deceit and governmental philosophy "it's better to cover up negligence and evict one person, than to shut down a facility for negligence and displace a hundred peoole!"; you are left with the decision.. "Should I place my Loved One at Glen Mills Senior Living?" I think not.. anywhere else is where you should go. Goid luck to you... and God Bless.

* 4th degree bed sores and a hole in the roof of her mouth that extended to her nasal passages (no one reported this to me -- I had to wait for Hospice to). * sitting alone and in a soiled diaper (uncovered and unattended to for hours). Filed a report and nothing was done. * war between hospice and The Pines over hospice decisions made by family/hospice. The Pines wants to extend the life of a suffering client to profit (everyday a patient is in that bed means hundreds of dollars in profit for them). *Accusations from The Pines that I wanted to rush the process of ending My Aunt's life by pushing Hospice to prescribe more morphine. *Sad and unforgiving experience. I told my children to never, ever, pay that much money to place me in a facility that puts profit over care.

The Pines of Mt Lebanon is unbelievably understaffed and unclean. The residents are neglected and usually either smell of urine or are dripping with urine. Their is little to no afternoon staff. Memory care smells horrible with no help to the fact that laundry is only done once a week. The corporation does not care for their residents or staff members what so ever.

The review is of the Memory Care Unit. It is understaffed, especially on the overnight. Aides will take a break while leaving the remaining aide alone. They encourage hospice because they do not have the trained staff to deal with Alzheimer's patients. Hospice could get my parent to shower every time they visited; only the Woods' social director could get my mother showered. No aide or MCU supervisor could do it. The activities schedule looks full but out of the 20-30 times I ever visited, at all different hours of the day, there was only one time that the scheduled activity was actually occurring. A resident was able to escape through the patio gate and was missing for at least an hour. They claimed there was an electrical problem with the alarm, we think they ignored it for too long. All of the wheel chair bound residents are gathered in the dining room every day and spend the day sleeping there. This place looks great, but looks are deceiving!

Our tour was awful, I would not recommend the facility to others. We walked in and it was so dirty that we wanted to leave right away. If the man showing us around was not so nice we would have. When staff were wheeling residents by a lot of them smelled like urine. It was not a good tour experience.
