Novellus Living

awful except for the food and dining room workers. Please use this place as a last resort. They used my medicine for other people, they gave me wrong medicine. I was supposed to have control of my medicine and it took them 6 days and many mistakes after my doctor contacted them You may call me at [removed] if you want more details.

It's a horrible place and do not put a person you love in this awful facility. My loved one was left in soiled depends and left in a wheelchair most of the day. They only stayed in that facility for a short amount of time. I'm grateful I ran into his hospice nurse at the front desk and asked if they could put them back on hospice or I wouldn't have known in the short amount of time he was at Novellus that he had developed to huge bed sores. I'm sure you can tell I'm not a fan of this facility. I brought my loved one home and I have sitters 7 hours 7 days a week and my loved one is on hospice.

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale Clairemont and it was horrible. Condensed, had to use elevators to get to the rooms. Rooms were small, no views except for a wall, she would have had to share a bathroom with another person. Carpet looked dingy, the whole placed smelled bad. No parking for visitors. Just a small garden for residents to walk around. And I didn't see a single resident that looked happy or smiled. Some in wheel chairs just looked abandoned in the hallways. Staff was nice. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Our family had an in person tour experience with Novellus Kingwood and from the moment we walked in the front door we did not even want to tour it, and that is why we rate it so low. .

They were pretty much worthless if you are looking for a physical therapy for your loved one. They told me we could have a room and everything but if you need physical therapy, we have to set it up and do everything ourselves and they do not help out with that. Definitely did not meet the needs we were looking for.

My wife cannot walk so need assistance in normal functions/activities. When my wife developed bed sores on her buttocks, they did very little about it. The one bed sore finally got infected and we had to go to the ER and had to be transferred her to a Skilled Nursing Facility so she could be treated by Nurses and Doctors, which Brookdale has neither on staff. When I gave the required 30-day notice to the Management and ask for refunds of the Personal Service Fees that she didn't use, they said YES, after the first 14-day period of not being at Brookdale. After I received my refunds, I discovered that they didn't include the Personal Service Fees refunds. After contacting the Management several times they eventually said that Corporate denied the SVC Fee refunds but wouldn't give a reason. So, if you want poor service and a denial of refunds when leave, then by all means stay at Brookdale -- otherwise I would recommend going someplace else.

Not impressed at all, as I toured Camlu, I did not see any staff, the lady who did the tour mentioned the residents are independent and should be able to do for themselves to be excepted, yet I noticed many residents unable to do for themselves and should be in nursing homes, some residents with a very foul body odor and the hallways smell bad, Camlu does not have proper staffing from what i noticed.. This is not a place I'd place my father in. The Dinning room was very nice they do need to work on their table setting.

Although the Atria was clean, I would not consider It safe because they only have one elevator and it would be impossible to evacuate all residents on the second floor in case of an emergency. My mother in law is confined to a wheelchair.

assisted living , Alzheimers no

That place sucked. It didn't look clean, it didn't look kept up. I was paying $2500 and all of the sudden they said they wanted $4000 a month when they said that they wouldn't raise the rent more than 6%.

This is a disgraceful facility, and we moved my Mother out after 3 months due to many issues. The management is the worst I've ever seen, from a clueless manager named [name removed] to the liar LVN, [name removed]. [Name removed] was full of empty promises, and NEVER followed-up on anything she promised (e.g., I'll show your Mom around the facility, and personally introduce to her to all the residents). Never happened. The management will promise they are the least expensive place in town, only to find out later that you will paying twice what you were quoted. We were paying over $4,000 more than quoted on a monthly basis. We were charged $400/month for nutritional assistance, yet they nearly killed my mom with all the salty food they gave her. She has chronic kidney disease, and was fed hot dogs, sausage and bacon with no nutritional value, yet charged for nutritional guidance. I would suggest asking a few of the nursing aids about the management and stability of the facility. Ask, "would you want your Mom to live there". It will be a resounding "no". The aids are not happy with the management, and one told us, "we are lucky to get our mom out of there". I was told they would bathe my Mom twice a week yet she only received one bath a week if lucky. And to top it off, two of here rings were stolen.

Atria at Kingwood is the last place I would put another one of my loved ones if I hated them. The prices are way to high and you get little to nothing. Id rather put my grandmother and a motel and pay the housekeeping lady a little something to bring her food and wash her clothes. They only have one maintenance man and one housekeeper that work from 9am to 5pm off on the weekends and holidays, that's not efficient enough to maintain a building with 500 units. That's why every time I went to visit my grandmother her room and bathroom were so nasty. My grandmothers toilet was stopped up one weekend and she had to use the bathroom down the hall until that Monday morning. Don't let the nice little tours fool you.
