RSL Management Group

I think my friend is doing okay, [Removed] is in the process remodeling since they took over, they used to be Brookdale. The gal there, [Removed] is new but very nice. They are trying to build a good foundation. It's perfect for people who are transitioning from independent to assisted living. The apartments don't have a kitchenette and the rooms are smaller and don't have a shower. There is like 4 shared showers and there is a schedule where a staff member will go with you, which works out perfect for my loved one. Compared to other places, this one is the best for my loved one.

My loved one was previously a resident at The Pinnacle of Louisville and the overall experience for her at this facility was okay. The food was not good. The friendliness was good. The Pinnacle of Louisville was a nice place, but we had issues with the care and with the caregivers.

The first part of his stay at Brookstone was pleasant. The last part of his stay was hard. His disease progressed and he was a more difficult resident. But the doctor assured us this was nothing out of the usual for the disease. There was a significant staff change and the new employees were not as skilled in helping him. They were very short staffed. I don't know if I could recommend them. Our end was not a great experience but I'm sure there are not many of the same staff still working there. Someone else could go there and have a completely different experience.

I'm currently a resident at Woodland Heights and the experience has been okay. If my rent is raised by the same amount as last year, I will have to move.

The facility is grossly understaffed, especially on weekends. It's a fine place if you only require level I care, but not for levels above that. Staff was responsive to the call button, but it took between 1-5 minutes. There is one housekeeper for the entire facility. My loved one's room was cleaned once a week, though with his incontinence it needed more. Bathroom always smelled of urine because the toilet had leaked and seeped into the vinyl flooring. Shower was small, and sink was not usable for a wheelchair-bound resident. Soiled laundry was often just left in the laundry basket. I understand they are under management at present, and they are trying to make it all Level I care. Communication with family was adequate. Meals are fine. Move in was fine. I would not recommend this facility unless it makes drastic changes.

I would not recommend the Brookstone. Staff is nice and friendly, but overall, it is an older facility that reminds me of a nursing home, not Asst Living. We are looking to move her into a newer facility with more amenities. At the Brookstone, the automatic front doors have never worked. There was a sign up for weeks saying the fire alarm/sprinklers weren't working!! My mom still does not have a mailbox of her own. I know that sounds minor, but for what we are spending monthly those everything should work and be in top condition!

The amount of staff is limited at The Pinnacle of Southaven. However, the staff that they do have are friendly and always have time to talk about the community members. The communication with the family is sparse. My brother's health declined rapidly and no one informed me. It was by chance that we were able to see him before he passed. The food is good and individualized. My sister in law is always clean. I would like more activities and outside time. That would require additional staff. I would recommend the facility to others based on individual needs. Memory Care is a difficult area to rate.

We are grateful that they took us and my loved one has a beautiful room with a nice big window, bathroom, and kitchen area. The value for the money was better than any other place we could find as well. It is in a beautiful location. You walk in the facility and it is beautiful and they have a very nice dining room area that you can see. They are short staffed so that has affected some things, they are using a lot of temporary staff. I love the facility and all of the staff that are there have been wonderful.

I was not really fond of this community. The tour was fine and the person that lead us around was great and very attentive.

Not the right fit.

Brookstone is a very nice and clean place. The staff were all kind and professional. It was more institutional and highly regulated and we were looking for a place with more flexibility. But if that is something you need, I think it would be a great facility for that.

One of the things I have noticed is that the first day I was there they sent residents in for lunch, by the time everyone was seated they sat there for almost an hour before the food was brought to them with no drinks. When they were served they were on very cheap paper plates and plastic silverware, so I do think the food service could be improved. I know they are short staffed, but they do really have some great staff members that work here as well.

The staff is really nice. And it's a clean facility. I don't think they give enough care to the patients, change diapers enough, etc., but that's me. But the staff really are very nice, and so are the people who live there. My loved one seemed to like the food. He actually ate everything, which is unusual for him. They do offer activities if you choose to participate.

Our family was able to do a virtual tour and our experience was okay. Their system was not working as well as what they had hoped so they didn't take us around the community. They were able to show us pictures, but we decided it just wasn't the place for our loved one.

The management is inadequate, The maintenance has not been kept up over the years. The current manager does not have much satisfaction and remote and doesn't try hard enough in my opinion. there is no advance planning in this community. I would not recommend this community to others based on my experience.

[name removed] was WONDERFUL! She was helpful, empathetic, open, honest.....! Wonderful person for the job. Then there were the three sisters that worked there. They were awesome. I saw one more so than the others and she knew what she was doing, took charge and was confident. Good workers. While my relative was bedridden, I was disappointed in some of the aids. They seemed inexperienced. One didn't know how to give water to my relative. I had to help hold his head up and help her. The aid was lost on that task. I was told that my dying relative would be checked on every 15 minutes during the night. I would have liked to have stayed in the chair in his room because he was near death but I got the feeing they didn't want me there. While my relative was bedridden and mostly sleeping or in a coma and not responding to commands, the staff was still give morphine in liquid form. How is someone in this condition going to swallow this without choking? Shouldn't this be given in shot form at this point or in an IV? Then there was the front door. On the weekend when I was trying to get in and I knew my relative was close to death, it took forever for someone to let me in. (The people that live there said the same thing.....no help when they call). When a lady finally came, I told her my relative was dying but she had me wait and ran off. She came back and had me wait again by the Gardens door and ran off. That took a few minutes which seemed forever. By the time I got in, I was only in the room 30 seconds before my relative died. When they turned on the light, my relative had foam the same color as morphine running down the side of his mouth. The aid said she had just checked him half an hour ago. What happened to 15 minutes? I'm wondering why Corridor isn't more equipped or capable of dealing with hospice care. We were in touch with the hospice nurse but she left the care to your facility. Also, my relative was on his THIRD day in bed when we came to visit yet no one called us to tell us that he was that bad. My feeling is that the aids are not qualified enough to handle this situation. While we were there three days in a row, I never saw them turn him on his side or in a different position so he was always on his back. I'm sure he was on his back for four days straight without a change in position. What is up with that? Disappointment with end of life care.

My mom was only there for a respite stay while we were on vacation for a month. My mom had a hard time adjusting and I think the the staff could have done more to help. They were informative during the intake process and they did answer my questions but they were not pro active when it came to care. I felt she was safe while she was there. The food was okay. The community was a little plain compared to other options in the area. It would not be my long term pick for my mom.

This community seems to be going through some staffing changes and we have noticed that some of the residents rooms are not being cleaned very well. I feel they have not followed through on some of the promises that were made in the beginning. They offer a fair amount of activities and they go out on Mondays and Fridays. This community does work with residents regarding the cost of living there. We are hoping that things will improve as they are doing some remodeling and hiring some new staff members.

Rooms are just bedrooms with very limited storage. Lots of activities and friendly staff. Common shower area. Not assisted living.
