If I could rate them with no stars I would. In my view unless your family member is totally…read morehealthy, their focus is about money and not on the well being of the person. They increase the monthly fees for every little thing and never provide you with a detailed accounting of what you are paying for. They did NOT notice that my mom had fallen and she was holding her wrist up and could not use it to eat. And after we found her this way and took her to a doctor to confirm it was broken, it was too swollen to put into a cast. So the doctors office put a splint on it to help reduce the pain and swelling but when it came time to Sunrise changing it, they put it on incorrectly so the splint was NOT supporting her hand! They left it dangling and she was in even more pain. TWICE! They did NOT properly explain what would happen if she got worse and the other levels of care she could receive. They simply said that they have multiple levels of care available to her and us. They put her in a room with dementia patients even though she did not have any dementia just so that they could pool her with others to "watch" her. She was NOT allowed to stay in her room when she wanted to. She HAD to go to each meal or go wheeled into this collective room. Buyer beware and ask a LOT of questions. AND I do not recommend this facility unless you or a family member can visit and check up on a daily basis. Because our mom wanted to stay in bed one morning and not go down for breakfast and they tried to force her, we ended up moving her into hospice where she could do what she wanted when she wanted to. It was peaceful for her and we knew she was getting what she needed when she needed it.

We moved Mom…read morehere hoping she'd get the care she deserved in her final days, but what we got was neglect and distress. The worst moment came when they moved her to a private room. My mom, who was actively dying, couldn't be off oxygen for more than a few seconds. When I arrived, they were wheeling her to her new room--WITHOUT oxygen. She was gasping for air and in a panic, crying. I begged them to hurry, but the aide pushing her wheelchair moved at a snail's pace while my mom was terrified. I even grabbed the wheelchair to try to push it faster, but she wasn't responding. I yelled, "Someone please help!" but the staff just stood in the hallway, gawking. While the mistake was eventually acknowledged, my mom felt totally unsafe--and she was. She died the next day. I deeply regret trusting Mountainside with her care. I cannot recommend this facility to anyone. Please be cautious and consider other options if your loved one needs serious care.
