Spring Arbor Senior Living

What Spring Arbor could improve on would be the response time to resident call buttons

I'm afraid I do not have a high opinion of Rosewood Village. My husband was admitted to their memory care unit in [date removed]. He was assigned an unfurnished one bedroom apartment, so I hired movers to transport his furniture. He was at Rosewood for 23 days when he got aggressive at a community meal and started throwing things around. The facility sent him to the Emergency room to have him checked out. The Dr at the ER checked him over thoroughly and found nothing wrong other than his dementia. By then, it was late at night. The ER called Rosewood to tell them that [name removed] was on his way back. Rosewood refused to take him back. Didn't even suggest that we work with his medicines to reduce his aggression. In the middle of the night I had nowhere to take him other than back home which was very confusing for him. I had to hire movers to transport all of his furniture back home. I was not able to place him in another facility until over 30 days later. He finally went to [community removed], where the staff were told about his aggression and were willing to work with him to adjust his meds properly. He has been at [community removed] over a year now, and gets excellent care. I cannot understand why a place like Rosewood, who agrees to house dementia patients, would throw them out at a first incident. I would never recommend Rosewood to anyone!

[name removed] was the intake specialist. She was very nice and helpful. Once my mom was in facility she got an UTI very quickly and was sent to hospital and then moved from assisted living to memory care. Days later the staff allowed an unauthorized niece to unlawfully take my mom out of the memory care facility against my wishes. I was the POA for my mom. Needless to say the story is much longer but I was highly disappointed in the staff and Director. The Director left his employment very soon after. Whether he resigned or was fired is unknown to me. I would not refer anyone to that facility ever!

The friendliness of the staff was Initially 5, Then reality set in for a 1. Did only the basics. Sat behind the desk and called out to clients to correct them. Rarely saw them doing anything except gossiping with one another. My Mother was on the Memory care side and we got calls daily about her walking around (She had a compulsion to walk). They wanted them sitting in the common TV area or in their rooms. All the promises of therapy and activities were smoke and mirrors. Their idea of exercise class was turning a video on the TV with no supervision or help to participate in the exercises. We moved her after a few months to a new facility that held to their promises. She escaped the locked facility twice. Luckily the grounds keeper brought her back in. A locked facility! When we received the call they acted as if it were our fault. That was the last straw. We would have removed her sooner but, the search and wait list kept us from being able to move her. We had such high hopes and were so relieved and trusting that they truly cared and wanted to provide the best care for our Mother. Unfortunately that was not the case. I would recommend you avoid this facility if your loved one has any form of dementia and cannot participate in their care

My opinion was it was a very nice looking place. She was there two days they sent her to hospital and then notified me she couldn't come back so I had to move her again. Last year was horrific. They made it even worse. Get an elder care lawyer to teach you the steps. Most people have no idea what they are doing and are desperately looking for guidance.

I would not recommend this facility. The reality is that you are only as good as your employees and that is were the challenges are. Some of the employees are not interested in working hard for the residents as their hearts weren't in it. More interested in staying on their phones, tablets, etc. Food and cleaning are subpar. They try to charge extra via a point system as much as possible and raise rates yearly but do not take care of their people. Seem to only be interested in their occupancy rates, ie. more money coming in monthly. Too many challenges to justify the cost. Again, I would not recommend.

They have a horrible response rate to residents needing assistance .... if onsite long enough you will hear the buttons never being answered for long periods and nursing staff bringing children with tablets to work .

Seemed to be a nice place, but as time went on, I was not at all happy. The doctor and three nurses told me to get him out of Dominion ASAP and they said not to delay even if I had to take him out of there myself.

I was n a emergency situation with my father who has dementia and had became very violent towards me. I needed to place him asap . This is the only place that returned my calls. That being said . Dad never stayed one night there . It's very pricey. He was never released from the hospital. He could never afford to pay what they wanted a month. He got a check back for [removed] I paid over [removed]!!!! To bad for you !!!! You signed a contract so do not go there unless you are 100 % sure !!! I think it was pretty crappy of them not give some money back more than [removed] .. They do not care..

I would not recommend sending anyone to the Dominion. First, we paid extra for my father to have the call button since he was an one person assist to help him in the bathroom in the shower. What would a typical older person do if they press the call button that they wear around their neck, and no one comes? people would push the call button again, correct? Well at their senior living facility if you press it a second time, the call button is turned. They also told my father to quit pushing the call button and took it away from him. That is bullshit! Secondly, as I stated earlier, my father was a one person assist. They refused to help him on and off the toilet. They refused to help him take a shower. I honestly believe that putting my father in the dominion contributed to an earlier death. When he was admitted the last time to the hospital, he was diagnosed with malnutrition in dehydration. and where was he living at that time? The Dominion. My father was supposed to start physical therapy within 10 days of the start of his residency, that did not occur. My father was also supposed to be on insulin and blood thinners at his stay at the Dominion. They were not giving him insulin or his blood thinners because I don't know why they could never tell me the reason why he could not get his medicine. The memory care unit at the dominion is a joke, the ones that were in diapers, wet and smelly diapers all day. They were only nice when they knew somebody was around. The first day we moved my father in, my son press the call button. No one came so he gave them a a bad review on Google. The next day I went to go visit my father I get called into the office and got yelled at because of a review that my son put based on his experience with his grandfather at this living senior facility, I'm sure I can go on for another 10 pages, but in my personal experience, this place needs to be shut down.

My friend stayed only one (1) night at the Dominion. Although we didn’t know it at the time, she was beginning to deteriorate badly, both physically as well as mentally. After falling three times her second day there, I was called and told she was being taken to FRM=C; they were afraid she’d broken her hip. The next day, I was called and told she could not return to the Dominion. I’m still waiting for a partial refund of her first month’s rent, more than two months after she left the facility and three weeks after she died.

My loved one was sick with an infection and they sent her out to the ER and they said she had a stomach virus and sent her back to Wickshire. My loved one called me the next day to say she still didn't feel well and was throwing up until the next time and that she needed to go to the hospital again. The girl is going to say that all they can do is send her right back. Long story short it took my mom to continuously throw up and her blood pressure to sky rocket in order to be sent back to the hospital and now she is sick there. More staff and better doctors to check on the patients would be an improvement. They could also have a cleaner facility and cheaper prices for their care.

Did not try to work with patient’s family or Doctor to try and adjust his meds so as to reduce aggression. Gave patient and family 14 day notice, but would not let the patient come back to the facility during those fourteen days unless he had a private paid (by family) caregiver round the clock.

The meals were okay. The staff didn't call me when my father fell two separate times. I had to find that out when I came into his room and found bloody bandages. They were also more interested in eating their food than they were helping patients. This wasn't at meal times. It was just during the day or evening. The head of the ward my family member was in didn't know pertinent information about my family member, nor did the facility nurse. I would not recommend this facility to others. On the face, it appears a nice place. They do not take care of their patients in a caring manner.

I showed up for what their Website described as an “open Wednesday “ I.e. tour without appointment. They had nobody available to do a tour. The (legally mandated) bulletin board in the lobby had a notice from the state indicating they had lost their license in [date removed], reinstated in February. They are not currently taking new patients. They also do not accept Medicaid patients. I assume this is because they cannot meet the requirements. I had checked on this place a year or two ago. Medicare had given them an advisory back then. I’m stunned and confused that “A Place for Mom” gives them such a high rating.

My aunt died after being there 1 month. I believe Dominion is directly responsible for her death. Nursing care services were not good. She had multiple falls and UTI's while there. She became septic. They were not providing adequate care. It was a heartbreaking experience.

Think twice about sending your loved one to this facility. The staff don't take good care of the residents and their very rude. I would advise to definitely do research before putting your loved ones in this facility

The administrative staff is extremely slow to process clients' paperwork and ignorant of the clients' needs and status/required support. My mother was still not in the computer after 2 weeks. The PT called about therapy for my mom 2 days after she died. They didn't follow the DNR directive because it "wasn't in the computer" even though it was in the hard copy file. Our family is facing huge hospital bills now. We paid over $[removed]when my mother was admitted. She died 5 days later. We're still waiting for the refund so we can pay the unnecessary/unexpected/unauthorized hospital bills. The director said she would "take care of the refund" when she called to tell me my mother died. It's been 3 months. The staff on the floor is good.

White Springs is a beautiful facility, but that’s the only positive. While I could write a novel on the negatives, I’m going to focus my review on two primary issues from our experience with my father-in-law’s time at White Springs. First, the corporate, impersonal style of management. Secondly, the quality of care promised and the care actually provided. [name removed] , the Executive Director, is a horrible person to have in a leadership position. As someone who also runs a business, I’m astounded that she is in management. This woman is interested only in quota, and does a terrible job at hiding it. She will bulldoze you any time you try to speak. We had multiple phone calls with her as well as an in person meeting with her, a White Springs nurse, a hospice nurse, a hospice social worker, and a hospice doctor. After the meeting, we and the hospice team were ALL in agreement about [name removed]. We were dumbfounded. She was incredibly rude with no interest in what anyone at the table had to say.

We were not at all impressed with our tour experience at Spring Arbor of Apex. In fact, we took them off of our list the second we walked out of the facility into the parking lot after the tour. The facility was not clean, the residents did not look put together, it was just a bad experience from the beginning to the end.
