Our meals at the Clarendale at Indian Lake in Hendersonville Tennessee come with free drinks, and free desserts. At night our meal includes a free dinner roll which very seldom is served. Getting the drinks is no problem, but getting served to drinks is a big problem. We reset 20 minutes last night waiting for a server to ask us if we wanted desserts They were more interested in cleaning off tables. So we left. This is an every day occurrence. It’s a shame such a nice place could be so poorly run.

disappointed in harbor village. I would not recommend this place to anyone. You’re better off leaving your loved one at home to fend for themselves and save you the money and increase rates. There team and employees look all burned out tired and walk around stressed and unhappy to be there. For the money you invest in a company you would think you would hire more help during the enevings. But it’s nice to know they are redoing all the carpeting because the building looked old nice to know that’s where the money is going instead of to the extra care staff and nurses on the weekend and evenings they need due to all the questionable things happeneding here. Save the money don’t do it.

NEGATIVE STARS. You will be told the Clare is one of the nicer facilities and it may be true for the nursing home portion however I have nothing nice to say regarding their rehab center. I met [name removed] the case manager to tour the facility and discuss what my mother had been through and the level of care she required. I was told the Clare was more than capable of handling her needs however that was a blatant lie. This is NOT an adequate rehabilitation facility for post hospitalization patients. The staff is under trained, under qualified and under staffed. I was incredibly clear on my mothers condition and the level of patience and care needed to keep her comfortable. Not only did they not respect our wishes; they did the exact opposite. They bullied my mother and when she asked them to please be more gentle with her and to stop hurting her she was told if she didn't like their treatment she could go back to the hospital. They also told her she needed to leave because they were i

My father entered short term rehab from a fall for 17 days in [date removed]. In 17 days this facility managed to lose not one but both of his hearing aids. The value of these hearing aids was 12k. When you register the facility requires you to list the patient's property and value of the items. Cypress Village made no effort to safely store my father's hearing aids. Both of the hearing aids were not lost on the same day they were different days. This facility made no effort to learn and prevent the loss of the second one after the first one was lost. Part of my father's cochlear implant was found in the dryer. The other parts and the second hearing aid were never found. I placed signs in his room with pictures of what the hearing aids looked like for the staff to make sure they had not fallen off in the bed prior to changing the bedding. My father was unable to get out of the bed to charge and store his own hearings aids. This facility took no responsibility for this loss.

Continually short-staffed in the medicine administration area, causing many late med administrations. My mother, who has chronic pain just went through a half-day of distress because her morning medications were not administered to her. I was on site at the facility at the time and found that there was no nurse on duty, and only one med tech who was overwhelmed and referred me to Management. This ongoing issue is the responsibility of Management to address and correct, and I have gotten no response from top leadership when inquiring about it. This should not be happening given what my mother is paying to live here and obtain the staff services.

The Delaney lulled me into making the worst decision for my 94 year old mother. In the two months she lived there, she was treated with disrespect. She did not receive the level of care The Delaney told us they would provide and for what we paid for. I had to bring in private help to assist her. The staff neglected her because she was needy. It boarded on elder abuse. What was really telling was when we told The Delaney we were removing my mother, we did not receive one phone call from The Delaney as to why? I am considering filing a complaint with the State.

ML’s selling point is that there’ll never be a reason for you to have to move out. Not true! Once my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and there was no care in place for her due to a 22+ resident waiting list at The Springs, she was forced to move into a new community. ML charged a penalty fee of 3 months rent. The value of her apartment had increased considerably since she moved in during the recession so they were making a lot more money by her leaving and still they refused to waive the penalty fee. I asked the ED to explain how they could justify doing so, and to specifically state what alternatives of care they would have made available to her while she waited a year or more to get into the on-site memory care. I’ve been waiting for a response since [date removed]. ML also tried 3x to charge us [fee removed] to replace my mother’s carpet and paint her apt when she was on the plan to have it all paid for by ML that same year. Profits over resident care.

My mom suffered there for 3 weeks and we got her out as quick as possible. It was a costly mistake in that they did not refund us any of the set up fee. For the 1st 8 days she was put in isolation(Covid) and given cold food 3 meals a day, food was better when my dad could take her to the main dining room.

Sale department sells homes as 24 hour care and it’s not true after nurses leave cna or caregiver decide what is good for the resident. After dinner you can not find a single soul in building 1 and 2. I walked over to building 1 for help and there is no one the front desk doesn’t know where people are at. The girl I found sitting on her phone on the couch with legs up. They always have new people working or people from temps working because no one stays long enough to know there name. The leadership is nice but seems like they find excuses why they can’t keep staff working in there entire campus.

I would never and I say never put my loved one in this place. The nursing care is unacceptable. It starts from the front office profession to the nursing care. Your loved one will not be cared for, the nurses do not do their jobs, they are bothered if you ask a question or need something, they will point to one another for the other to answer a question. The place smells horribly. There are patients in their wheels chairs roaming the halls because they are not cared for. The food is always cold. The nurses are suppose to check on their patients every two hours, if that is the case, you would never see them at their desk chatting or eating, that’s what they did instead!! I say, do not expose your loved one to this place, period!!!

I would tell others - DO NOT send your loved ones here - ever!!

My father was a resident at this facility. He told me he fell in the bathroom but was able to push his pendant to request help. He said no one responded to the request for 3 hours. At first I found this hard to believe however when I raised the issue Watermark management confirmed this indeed happened. I had a conversation with the Executive Director of the facility and we reached a hand shake agreement to return a portion of the monthly rent since my father never returned. To my dismay they have not honored this agreement and have not responded to my follow up attempts. Shame on me for not getting anything in writing. I got the impression from the Executive Director that the call button situation was just an unfortunate accident but they did nothing wrong. Before this situation I would have given Watermark a much higher rating but now I would think twice about sending my loved one to live there.

The staff is unhappy. Everyone is over worked. The care team is stressed out and miserable. The food is horrible. Not enough staffing in any dept. Activities are non existent. The place is filthy. Lots of new faces which says the staff turnover rate is unacceptable. The weekends are abominable here. Visit this place on the weekend to get a real sense of what goes on. Minimal staffing on the weekends. No weekend supervision. Highly recommend going to the new [removed].

The interior design is nice, food seems tasty ideal location in Towson! Blakehurst it is more of a hotel than a community. The entrance way has oCaters to a bridge&Country Club group which is unfortunate as not everyone belongs to country clubs and/or plays bridge. Trying to get through to my Mom via the Blakehurst front desk it took over 1 hour. I was transferred to 5 different departments, on one occasion hung up on, then come to find out some of the medical services staff assumed the new director of Blakehurst was a female with the name, [name removed]. I cannot image if it was an emergency and had to reach Mom right away. With a LCS,Continuum of Care company making $[removed] in revuene, the Blakehurst monthly costs of approximately $[removed], my Mom has to eat $[removed] a day in food, a 30 minute exercise program plus a movie. Recently, the repaved the entire asphalt parking and roads which was not necessary. Added a flat screen TV to the mail room and are undergoing lots of renovations, new pool

If someone is looking for good communication, this is the last place they should go. There is no communication at all unless you nag at them continually. They really need to improve on the overall care honestly. They present well at first, but then as soon as money changes hands, that seemed to be all they cared about, not the loved one placed there.

my mother has been a resident of Havenwood of Minnetonka for about 7 months. She had lived in another memory care facility for a little over a year before moving her to Havenwood. The sales staff was very attentive to answering all my questions and the facility is lovely however the care is not. I would not recommend Havenwood for the following reasons. - Lack of communication regarding my mothers condition and/or care - difficulty in communicating with memory care staff - Lack staff engagement with residents - Staff is not very attentive to needs of residents

Some of the staff here were great and some were absolutely awful. I would tell others looking- Do not use this facility if your loved one requires a significant amount of care.

The caretakers in memory care at Clarendale are not adequately trained to truly be able to care for the different stages of dementia. They want one size fits all and that just is not the case with dementia patients. Most (except for 2 or 3) of the caretakers don't have the compassion it takes to truly make the person feel safe regardless of what stage they are in. Unfortunately we learned this after getting our loved one into another facility where there was no question about how much they cared. Knowing how to handle different situations makes all the difference and I only wish we had made the switch sooner. My recommendation is to provide as much training up front as well as o going training for every person who I tracts with those with dementia.
