SRI Management, LLC

We did not have a good experience with this community. My husband was there for 3 days, and 4 nights. I was not the right fit for him, and his needs. This community needs some improvements overall. I would not recommend this community to anyone.

We toured this community when looking for my mother. Don't send your loved one's here! It's a very depressing place. The rooms are very small and they put two residents in a room together and they only have a three foot wall between them so there isn't a lot of privacy.In the Memory Care section they wheel the residents out in the hallway and they sit there all day. The staff was friendly only because they were eager to get us moved in. I would not recommend them.

When I first went in to tour the place, I spoke with [Removed], the sales guy, who took me to [Removed] from family home care services. They made me all kinds of fake promises, that they would take care of my mother, make her appointments, and check on her. It was all a lie. Once she moved in, they never checked on her once. She has a pacemaker, I told them before she moved in that they needed to make her an appointment and they didn't. I would give them an F for how they treat their customers. They will not even fill her pill box. The place itself is a nice place, it has a nice restaurant. But the Susan lady is terrible. She is the queen in her office, and never checks on the residents because that would require for her to leave her office.

Put [Removed] in your search bar engine. Look up Carriage Hill and click on it. Numerous violations and license expired. At the facility on their wall behind the glass is a notice from the state refusing to renew their license and has started the lengthy process of shutting down the facility.

Such a beautiful place! I felt as if my Aunt had finally found the perfect place to provide the care she both needed and deserved, however upon my entrance into the main lobby the atmosphere certainly was not the friendly, home like one that is promoted. During our time at this community the drama increased daily; issues ranging from; inappropriate behavior in the parking lot, allegedly drug addicts coming in at all hours, to a very open relationship that involved those in management, and was discussed freely in front of residents. Activities were posted, but always cancelled, or rescheduled, our complaints about the lack of service that was offered and we felt being well paid for were disregarded and never addressed. My mother received very rude, unprofessional responses when she attempted to discuss ALL of the unethical, inappropriate, and very rude behavior, that not only she had witnessed, but others as well. Bottom line it is a beautiful place and some wonderful people are there and providing the care they are supposed to, however that isn't the case for the management and main office. I would recommend this place if you want a brothel, but not for dependable, peace of mind care. Which they promise continuously, yet can't seem to follow through.

My loved one did not receive the care that was promised to my family during our tour. The community was never staffed properly and there always seemed to be a mix up with the scheduling. They also provided poor care for my mother who has memory loss, I am very dissatisfied and would not recommend this facility.

I have not personally been to this facility but have heard horror stories from family members of residents at Agape'. Please consider other options before admitting your loved one to this facility. If you do decide to choose them, be prepared to pay significantly more than what you are initially told. They have some type of "care points" system that will result in substantial fees and the bill will be a total surprise to you and/or your loved one. Also, make sure to keep an eye on what medication is being given to your relative and ask questions. Keep in mind that side effects of many different medications can be worse in the elderly; for example, a medication that causes dizziness may result in a FALL if the elderly person is not supervised properly. Also, keep in mind that they are FOR PROFIT and that their bottom line is that dollar; not the people. They are paid to show sympathy and kindness in order to SELL a product to potential residents and their families. Once they've hooked you in, they will do or say whatever is necessary to keep your loved one there and charge whatever they want without seeking prior approval. Read the terrible reviews on Medicare.gov about Agape' in W. Columbia.

The service at Elmcroft is deplorable.....They do not do anything that is communicated to you during the Sales Speech....We had to beg for my dad's apartment to get cleaned..and I had to ask that they quitserving him meals with greens even though he is on coumadin. There is much more to comment, but bottom line is...when the employees are out of ear shot and say they are looking for other jobs...because it is that bad...BEWARE.....Plus my dad said he was losing things...Pretty sure they were lifted.

I really did not like this place much at all. It felt like stereotypical nursing home where you just stay until you die. Also the room where very small.

It seemed clean in the lobby area but they did not wash his sheets and his room was not cleaned very well. It was extremely expensive especially for the lack of services provided. They would not help me with any of the moving when I had to move his things out. It was the last few days of his life and I was having to worry about getting it all cleaned out. They were very short staffed and always in a rush. It was not a good experience and I blame that on the administration. I would steer clear of this facility until they get their administration worked out. After he passed away, no one ever reached out to express their condolences or sent a card and that really upset me.

Our families experience was horrific, not one part of it met the expectations. The quality of care was so poor, when we would come to visit the residents hair looked so greasy it was almost like you could ring it out. We would see people walking around in soiled clothes - if the residents don't want to change or shower the staff just says okay and walks away. There was urine in the hallways that would not be cleaned up. Our loved ones medicine was lost. It was the worst experience. It was their job to evaluate the residents once a month and our loved one was never evaluated. We felt it was all about money.

Because there are no RN’s on staff, there was a lot of theft of medications (especially diabetic medicines). Also, residents get billed for services they never received.

Management represented Larkspur as a active adult community. It was in the beginning but as of late more people are moving in that should be in assisted living. The place is going down hill fast. Lots of maintenance issues that fall on deaf ears. Very disappointing. Didnt plan on living in assisted living yet.

I would never again allow anyone in my family to be placed in Superior. I was given inaccurate information about the services they provide and my loved one was injured . I was given “nurses notes” that were a joke and seemed to have been written after the fact, never could get the same version twice of the accident. It is a difficult decision to place a loved one in a facility and it is heartbreaking to find out they were neglected when they can’t care for themselves.

Very displeased of the uncompassionate handling of being informed that my mom was in the hospital during the Covid19 pandemic. Would have been nice to have experienced some humaness from management.

I was happy with this facility only to be surprised with an excessive price increase within the first few months of my mother moving in. This was done with no warning ,discussion or explanation. With the lockdown from Covid19 I have not been able to visit my mother. It is a $550.00 increase! While some increase in her care is acknowledged because I cannot go in..I should have been warned . My heart is heavy with the feeling of being duped from promises of everything I could possibly think of asking before the move in. Now I feel I should have had an attorney ...is there no care about what it is trying to navigate these unknown or misrepresented or misunderstood promises?

Very disappointed in this ALF. Mom lived here for 2 years. It was good when there were few residents, however as management, chef & employees left and it became more populated, care was sacrificed to a great extent. The place began to smell as residents were left in soiled clothes, laundry was done on a “quick wash” leaving it smelly and still soiled. Food was the equivalent to a truck stop, with breakfast being the only satisfactory meal. Lunch & dinner were heavy, dry pasta, meat, potatoes & bread with a few soggy vegetables. Fruit, when available was canned peaches, pears or fruit cocktail. It was not a menu that the elderly would choose, had they the ability to do so. There are also functional obsolescences throughout the facility. The bathrooms are so small it is nearly impossible to accommodate a wheelchair. There is no protection from weather when taking a resident from the memory care facility and no automatic doors that stay open while maneuvering a wheelchair. The dining area is too small to accommodate full residency so some residents are put alone in common areas to eat. The staff quickly puts residents in their rooms to “nap” even if they don’t “nap” after lunch, I assume in an effort to keep the common area uncrowded. There are just too many negative issues to address. Management is confrontational and quick to threaten expulsion hen issues are raised. Do yourself and your elderly loved ones a favor and avoid Anthem Lakes.

Sadly, Anthem Lakes has proven to be a substandard experience. Those entrusted with the care of my 90 year-old mother have failed on many accounts. After 5 months in residence, my fall-risk mother was unaccompanied while walking around fully-dressed at 4 am while caregivers apparently slept. When she returned to her room alone, she fell & shattered her femur, requiring extensive surgery and was officially an invalid, never to walk again. Mom soon began having seizures when returning to Anthem Lakes, from rehab, and needed to be admitted to Hospice or be moved to a nursing home. Three months after the above experience, DCF was brought in as she was solidly bruised from both hands up to her elbows; her skin then began to tear. Nobody on staff noticed or had a clue what was happening to her as I continted to inquire. When I continued to press, It was discovered by the “best employee ever” on staff, that a male night-shift employee was being “rough” with her as she was “ uncooperative “ when being checked during the night; I was terrified that she was being abused and she could not remember and express her experience as she has Alzheimer’s. This abusive employee was suspended during the investigation but was allowed to come back following its conclusion. The “best-ever” employee was subsequently fired for a ridiculous reason. Although I wished to move Mom to a more responsible facility I felt my hands were tied and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want her to end up in a nursing home nor could I afford an additional on-site caregiver. I continued to visit daily to keep an eye on her, although a couple hours daily only showed that she was being left in soiled clothing. I would continually ask staff to remedy the situation & became a sort of burden for asking them to take care of Mom although I paid in excess of $5,000 per month for care. Strike 3 was when Moms teeth began falling out. Upon going through her always locked supply cabinet, I discovered several full tubes of toothpaste and realized they weren’t having her brush her teeth which she would gladly do if given a toothbrush w/toothpaste. There were also dozens of “sponge sticks” in her cabinet. Upon contacting management regarding her teeth rotting & falling out, I was told that “brushing teeth doesn’t guarantee you won’t get cavities”. Now totally appalled, I knew I had to get her out of there but wasn’t sure how. She was one of the first 3 residents there, had been there over 2 years and things had become tense & crowded during that time. There was not room in the dining room for all residents and care had severely declined. I gave 30 days notice on [date removed], hoping to move her to a new facility being built, however my own life was very busy and 30 days went by. On [date removed] I received a registered letter from Anthem Lake’s attorney notifying me they had a waiting list and telling me to sign & return the letter to cancel my notice to move. I didn’t sign it, received no other communication, other than 2 days later when I received an eviction notice, giving me 45 days to move my mom OR ELSE. I attempted to call the Exec Dir for further information ( as I had given several 30-days notices prior to being able to move into the newly- constructed Anthem Lakes without being evicted. Nobody returned my calls so I emailed, and included the owner in my request for info. The exec dir responded and said the eviction letter was self-explanatory and that residence was on a 30-day basis. I began to press the new facility for a move-in date. It turns out that The nursing dept at Anthem Lakes told the new facility that Mom was combative and had behavioral issues, which was not true, but the new facility rejected Mom due to this. When I contacted the owner at Anthem Lakes regarding the rejection, they stated that they absolutely would not extend Moms residency. Luckily I had her on a waiting list at another facility and was able to move her. I had never expected an ALF that claims to have a passion for the elderly would threaten to put someone’s loved one out on the curb or have the state come & get them because they had a waiting list. Upon completing the move I began alerting others through public forums of the poor treatment received by Anthem Lakes management & owners. Immediately I was contacted by the facility owner, threatening me with legal action for defamation & slander. I informed him that I would no longer be intimidated by his threats and would tell my story in an effort to help others avoid the heartache I have endured by trusting Anthem Lakes with the care of my mother.

Anthem Lakes is not recommended if your elderly loved one requires any type of "care". The caregivers are not CNAs and many are there only to earn a paycheck. I have personally witnessed these "caregivers" tormenting residents and calling them by condescending phrases rather than by their names. Management is confrontational and does not accept ownership of issues within the facility nor do they care to make improvements. The "memory care director" is a 20-something year-old with no nursing experience or degree in nursing and she doesn't appear to like the elderly very much. Until my loved one passed I was afraid to leave a review due to fear of retaliation against them.

I have never seen such laziness from staff like I have since my tour no I will not recommended this place to anyone.
