Manors of the Valley

We toured this community for my mother, and needs. Everyone was very kind to my family, and I. The community was clean, and everything appeared to be well maintained. The staff we met was friendly, and helpful. However this was too large of a community for my parents.

My sister toured this community for my mother, and her needs. Overall she said her tour went well, and she liked this community. It is a nice community, and everything went well. We did find another community that suited our needs better.

It has been a work in progress for us with my mothers move to this community. We have had some medications issues, and problems setting up her oxygen machine. However we are working through things. The staff is willing to work with us, and have been helpful. She is enjoying her time overall. They have nice meals, and she has gotten involved with some of the activities they offer. It is still a work progress, but overall I would recommend this community.

The reception area was nice and the director was very informative. We reviewed my Dad's needs and provided me with a brochure with all the necessary information. The facility seemed odor free and clean. Their rates were good, but I'm still favoring Atria.

This is a nice community, and our tour of it went pretty well. From what we saw the community looked nice. Everything looked neat, and tidy. The staff we came across was friendly, and courteous. It was a pleasant experience, everything went well.

We had a good tour of this community. Everything went well, and everyone was very kind. The community looked clean, and well-kept. The staff we met was friendly, and nice. They were very nice too my family, and myself. It was a nice experience.

Large facility. Seems more institution. Nice staff. Activities. Very dark environment. Reasonable fees.

The community didn't seem as well kept as other communities we toured and the community was further from family than we wanted.

I toured Parkland Manor and I didn't like it at all. It just didn't have a good vibe about it and was under construction at the time I visited. We chose another community because I didn't get a good feeling about Parkland Manor.

We had transferred our loved one from another facility to this one because we thought they had a memory care program. The director reached out to us letting us know since our loved one dementia was getting worse, but based on just the couple months she was there the dementia got way worst. We do not think they were giving her the medicine she needed for the dementia. She always contracted covid within the facility with other residents. Our only form of contact was through face time and the activities director who was in charge of scheduling them was very overwhelmed since they were short handed which in return made her rude. It was just an horrific experience.

Let me start off by explaining that my Mom, who is 91, is a resident. She cannot walk, has trouble hearing and is legally blind. She requires a Hoyer lift to get moved from her bed to her wheelchair and requires someone to push her wheelchair to and from the dining hall. Most times the aides are so busy that it takes more than an hour and sometimes more than two hours, after calling them, to get one to change her or two to operate the Hoyer to get her into the bed so they can change her. She has been injured by the aides while using the Hoyer lift on several occasions and suffered several cuts that required wound care nurses for weeks. It seems that while some aides know what to do when using the Hoyer, others do not have the training or the patience required to operate it safely. Mom has been in this home almost a year now and there are areas of her body that have never been washed. The food served leaves a lot to be desired. Please do yourself a favor and sample the food while your there, making sure it's the same that's being served to the residents. The food is often served cold and often too tough to eat. Many residents that need help getting to the dining hall are often missing meals because they get them ready too late. This is especially the case with breakfast. The building is nice and for the most part kept very clean. The management will bend over backwards to help you with any concern. It will be corrected immediately, but the corrections do not last and will be back to the way it was the next day. About half of the staff are caring people and the other half do what they need to do to keep their jobs and could care less about the residents. Some t the point of being mean and very rude. Many times you will see what I call a parking lot of residents in wheelchairs just parked in the "Florida Room" sleeping in their wheelchairs and seemingly waiting for the end. Parking them there makes it easier to get them to and from the dining hall. The med nurses issue the meds and any care that is prescribed. Many times that care gets forgotten. My mom has a problem with the skin on her feet and requires a cream to be applied daily. She sometimes goes for weeks without getting it applied. Given these circumstances you might ask why we leave her in such a place. Well it is one of the few that will accept a resident that needs to use a Hoyer lift. Having had Mom is several other homes it does not seem that they are all that different. The bottom line is everything and care comes later. As for activities at this home, I don't think my Mom has ever been taken to any activity other than her weekly hair appointment.

I have visited this facility as has another family member, in searching for a place for our parent. Dark, dingy. Absolutely no sign of activities, engagement or productivity of any kind in the memory care section. One room offered was large but bare and dismally dark and the other room had no door and was off the community room where, if someone inside fell, nobody would hear it. I saw sad, lonely-looking residents sitting alone, with their heads down, at empty tables waiting as though something was going to happen. This place looks terrible at any price and the air smelled of urine. I saw one staff member sitting with one lady. Our parent is not demented enough to live here in dim isolation. [Removed] can get better service at no cost to them while our parents have so few options in their frail and needy years, and can't afford decent care at an affordable price, after having worked all their lives! [Removed].

I did a tour here and the staff did a fine job showing me around and answering my question. but in the end, they would not accept my wife.

It's been two months that my parents have been at this facility. There has been good things, but equally bad things. I believe there is not enough help for this fairly large community. The food is not very appetizing. Most of the employees are very friendly and try to be helpful. There are always going to be a few employees that really just don't care. Some health issues have been ignored/overlooked for my parents and not reported. I'm not happy about that.

I schedule an appointment to see the community for a potential home for my mom. When I got there I was not impressed with what I saw and felt. The people who were there were rude. Not what I wanted in a community.

This is an older building and it did not seem to be very clean. The staff were nice during our tour. This is a distance away from us as well.

Terrible communication staff nice. Building is older, meals aren’t great. Memory care doesn’t have many activities. Hard to get a hold of a loved one. The owners are rude and communication is terrible.

The rooms were very small and smelled terrible. Paid [removed] grand to share a tiny room with barely any privacy. Wasn't taken out of bed regularly and had to wait a very long time when called for help.

Was told that response time should be 10-20 minutes. After pressing the alert button. Was visiting 2x per day and not once did someone come without me going to front desk. When button is pressed, there is a beeper and light flashes outside room. Their system is antiquated, the latest button pressed goes to the top of the list. And once the nurse visits that room, they turn off the alert. Which turns off all the alerts behind the one they visited. This is absolutely crazy. And there is no communication between the ones that dispense the mess and the others who tell us that they will have the one who dispenses the mess come by. What a [profanity removed] show here! Although the nurses do smile and are not mean. That is the only reason that this place doesn't get 1 star.

For $[removed] a month in the memory unit I thought my husband would get better care. He is diabetic and they did not watch anything he ate. The place is dusty. You can see water stained where the roof leaks. I was told they check on everyone every 2 hours that did not happen at all. Also if a resident falls in their room there is no way to alert anyone. The food is disgusting and cheap and not healthy at all. They lost some of his clothes. Other people came in his room and actually took things. They don’t do any activities with them at all. I would never recommend this place to anyone
