Senior Services of America IV, LLC

Plus things: Lots of activities for the residents. Meals appear to be tasty and nutritive. Rooms appear to kept clean. Minus things: Sorely understaffed on weekends. Response time to call buttons being pulled by residents horrible. Constant smell of urine in hallways outside resident rooms. No nurse on duty (just on call) at night and on weekends. No attention to residents personal habits - if the resident isn't up and ready to take a shower when the caregiver wants to give it, the resident doesn't get a shower.

short staff at night shift need to focus on outreach and maintain communication with family of loved ones. Hire executive chef instead of temporary replacements regular housekeeping for residents residents belonging are missing and lost with no explanation from caregiver or facility.

My mom lived there for about a year and a half in the assisted living portion. Lots of turn over in management and staff during that time. The staff was helpful, although many things were inexplicably difficult. They could provide medication, but would not administer eye drops. The food went from OK to bad, to downright inedible due to turn over in the kitchen. Show up for a regular meal, not a brunch for a true taste. Scheduling transportation to doctors visits is often unhelpful as they will not escort your parent to the actual waiting room. They get a curb drop off. Also, scheduling outside of the pretty narrow pre-defined transport opportunities (one or two days a week) is difficult. Communication from the staff was OK regarding my mother's health. The staff would sometimes call, but other times, including an ER transport, would fail to make contact with a family member. Health events that may seem minor were not communicated unless you asked to see the health logs or notes. The rooms at HG are nice enough. The air conditioning and heating is provided by a through-wall unit which has a noisy fan. Windows can also be opened for outside air. The biggest concern was that at the end of my mother's life, they refused to allow her to have hospice at the facility. They would not provide care for her and we end up scrambling to find a new place for hospice (which there are few on-demand options!) at the very end when she was very ill. That is not a good outcome. Be sure to understand what care will and will not be provided during times of declining health as you may be surprised to be caring for your loved one while scrambling to find a facility at the same time. If you read this far, you already know, but you should read the inspection log book that they are required to have in the lobby. It tells about any findings by inspectors and what actions they took.

I met with [Removed] and was given a good tour of the memory care part of the facility . He did a great job. Nice enough place, but it is also going through some important upgrades. They are in the process of renovating (painting) so it will look better very soon. They are also adding an activities professional for the memory care residents soon. Nice outdoor spaces and beautiful old stately building. I'm waiting to get details to them from my mom's existing facility before getting a financial estimate but the just the rooms start at around 5800 - 6500 with no care and go up from there so I'm expecting 10k+/month.

The activities they offer are very sparse. I wish there were more activities. The food is very good. I’ll give that a five. It is very clean. The staff is very friendly and nice. It’s so very hard to find good memory care that isn’t price prohibitive.

A new company took over a month after my loved one moved in. We kept hearing things would get better and they would have more staff, but that did not happen. The food looked very good, but the portions were really big and nothing was tailored to my moms interests. It did not seem like they tried to cater to any individual needs or wants as far as the food goes.

I found the staff not engaging with residents, instead they would be talking to each other or on their phones. At times it would be 45 minutes until a staff member would answer the call button. The administrators will tell you anything to have your parents be in their care, whether it's a certain diet or something, then to find out it wasn't true. The care was not good, the staff punctuated the air mattress and did nothing about it so my father had to lay on flat plastic that cause skin sores. It took weeks to get a prescription for his eyes. The facility does not have phone or cable tv, instead you have to rely on their internet for streaming tv and VOIP for phone service. Try explaining steaming services to your elderly parents. If the resident could not attend a meal, they would be feed what was left over after the other residents ate. Due to my parent being bedridden most of his meals were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I would not recommend Holi Senior Living to anyone, the place is nothing but a money grab.

I believe the quality of his care is very good. The problem we have in this case facility is when he needs medical attention transportation is only available by setting up an appointment. I.e. dental or medical. He's a Walker and when he falls down and gets hurt, they call 911 for an ambulance to transport him to the hospital which is not included in the monthly fees. They say they provide hospice services but if anything medical is involved they can't provide that. The staff really have been very helpful and seem genuinely to care about their clients. We believe he is getting very good care.

Avoid at all costs, there is no care being given or activities that happen in memory care. We picked this community because it was closer to my home.

My loved one was a resident at Hawthorne Gardens Senior Living. Overall, the experience was poor. The friendliness was good. However, the cleanliness and the food were not good. The staff and the quality of care were poor. I would not recommend this facility to family and friends.

We toured with Holi Senior Living and we did not care for this facility. When we were there walking around, there were no staff or residents that we could see. Our tour was scheduled and they also had no idea that we were even coming so it was disorganized. It took them a while to find a staff member who was able to show us around the place .

I would not recommend this facility to anyone who wants their loved one to be well taken care of. The lack of care and attention to the cleanliness of the residents is appalling. They provide the excuse of not giving residents showers by saying that the resident refused to have a shower, but they won't spend the time to convince the resident that they need the care. I agree with a previous reviewer that there are many times that I have been there when the "caretaker" are busy looking at their phones instead of tending to residents (and the "reason" that they are looking at instructions for other residents doesn't ring true). Obviously, the caretakers have been told that a resident says "no" to a care task, that the caretaker doesn't need to do that. A resident with Alzheimers will not know what they need, so it should be up to the caretaker to talk them into taking a shower, putting on clean clothes, etc. I am looking into other options to move my loved one to another facility.

It was hard to get them to understand that the patient was allergic to morphine and the hospice folks were taking her from once Every 4 hours - they bumped it up to once every hour. They need better training for dealing with a patient on hospice, especially the feeding of the patient. My wife could not swallow, so the food was being packed up in her nasal passage.

My mother was a resident for 6 years. Was terrific until new management took over a year ago and the place fell apart. Good quality dropped, ratio of care givers to resident dropped, they did away with transition plans between shifts and gave everyone iPads to try and figure out the care, medical changes and behavioral issues. Staff lies about care, management is over bearing to them, so very high turnover. The days of personal relationships with residents went out the door. They are transitioning from memory care to assisted living. That way they maximize their revenue per resident while reducing care, staff and cost. My mother was totally neglected along with others. When I contacted the state their response was to evict her. Really a heartless bunch of people. Advocate for your loved ones because institutional care is abysmal. Absolutely would NOT recommend.

My husband was in Harbour Pointe memory care for a total of 3 weeks, the first 2 weeks with 24hr care paid by me. He was supposed to be ok to be cared for by staff according to [name removed] (useless nurse) so I left him 1 week without private nursing and he fell, aspirated and lay on floor nobody knows how long. He lost his life due to this and the fact that he had pneumonia and the nurse [name removed] friend didn’t have enough experience to detect it. He had dirty clothes on every day when I got there and food on his Face. I have to live with the fact I trusted this place with him. I hope after reading this you do your research and find a different place for your loved ones. There have been citations against this place more than once.

In November 2022, I wrote a positive review about Hawthorne Gardens and its wonderful executive director. Recently there has been a corporate shakeup and she has been let go and many other staff have also left or been fired. Rates have gone up and services have deteriorated badly, including care, food, cleaning, social activities. The residents are in shock and morale is at an all time low. Not a good time to place your loved one here.

The person who did the tour was not knowledgeable and did not make a good impression. The rooms were tiny, not homey. The overall feeling was depressing.

The staff are exceptionally rude and use intimidation to get their way. You are not allowed to ask questions of any of the staff or you will be threatened with banishment from the property. While where are some good individual staff members, if you visit off hours you will see most of them on their phones and really annoyed at being bothered by you or the residents. It's all window dressing and no substance. If you care about your loved one, do not let them go here.

I had my dad here & at first they were fine. The management changed & all of a sudden staff changed as well. 2021 my dad was still there. Dad would not eat. They started giving him Ensure 3X a day. Then I was told he was pushing, shoving people & hitting the caretakers. The Ensure has high fructose corn syrup which impacted his gout causing joint pain & swelling. They then put him on anti-depressants, so many of them that he was dizzy & fell all the time. The only time I could see and hug him was in the ER. He could no longer walk, talk & had pneumonia as he could no longer swallow properly. Fieldstone would only check on him every 2 hours, so he could have choked & they would not know. I moved him in April and had him put in the hospital to get over the pneumonia. As I moved him he was nodded off over his plate & food was dripping down his face and clothes. He is at another facility where he is treated respect & care. He smiles at everyone including me when I visit him often.
