My Dad enjoyed residing in Independent Living at the Vi. But after a fall in his apartment led to…read morehis permanent residency in their care (rehabilitation) center, it was a terrible way to live for his last year. He went from a beautiful fully equipped residence to a tiny semi-private room where he could not even subscribe to his own cable TV. Not even a storage area for him to use, as provided in the Independent and Assisted Living residences. The staff there is friendly but terribly short-handed. Once he was finished with his prescribed rehab paid by medicare, the only exercise available in the gym was approximately $45 an hour. And when we tried twice to sign him up, our requests were ignored. A nurses aide walked with him two or three times a week for about 10 minutes, that was all the moving around he got to do. The doctors who work there are a joke. Maybe if one of them, or a nurse, had put a stethoscope to my father's chest, they might have suspected the pneumonia that wound up killing him a few weeks later.

This is for the Vi at Lakeside Rehab Center…read more Last year my mother went to V and it was a good experience. Of course last year she only had a broken hip so it was straightforward home in 6 weeks. I even wrote a glowing letter at how wonderful the people were, the food was great and my only complaint really was that they didn't answer the Bells during meal times. This time was the most horrible experience ever. I was stunned to see how much the care had fallen in one year. The food was horrible, the administration is worse than horrible and my mother, who could walk up and down stairs, walk 120 ft round trip to go to the bathroom, get herself to bed and up in the morning and could shower herself had to be brought home on a stretcher. Now 10 days later she still can't walk. Why, because when she got there she had gout and the doctor and PA refused to treat it. At first I thought they didn't believe her and they absolutely refused to call me to get my mother's medical history with gout. I had to go over their heads to her rheumatologist in order to get her started on a Medrol pack which is prednisone. By then we were 9 days in with no treatment and the Medrol pack only worked while she was taking the prednisone. I fired the doctor and PA . The second PA knew right away that it was gout and ordered a second round of prednisone . Again while she was on the prednisone she started to walk again but as soon as she was off the medication she was in serious trouble again. I contend that had they treated the gout initially and not waited so long she would not have had to be on oxygen , she would not have had to endure that pain , she would not have had to be confined to bed. They simply did not care. Because she was confined to bed, she was left in her own stool for hours resulting in her first raging UTI. In addition to that they screwed around with her Carvedilol calling it a "hold parameter" which many facilities do. However what they were doing was having her miss entire doses because they didn't know what they were doing. That's dangerous. They were supposed to take her blood pressure and if the systolic was under a hundred they were supposed to hold the dose. They were supposed to come back and do her blood pressure again until it was over the hundred mark systolic and then give her the Carvedilol. I actually had an LPN ask me if she should give my mother the Carvedilol. Don't you think she should have known what a whole parameter was? And when I found this out and questioned it they suddenly came back in to take the blood pressure several times until they could give her the meds. I was Furious. Because they didn't treat the gout she got fluid on her lungs and had to be on oxygen and Lasix. To add insult to injury she ended up with yet another raging UTI from being left in her own stool for hours. She ended up being isolated and given an IV antibiotic. We were told everyone that walked into the room needed to be wearing a gown , gloves , a mask . No one did this . Not the director of nursing, the assistant director of nursing, the aids, the maintenance guys, or housekeeping. In fact after isolating her they took her out of the room to go weigh her . So why was she isolated? Let's add one more thing. She started to get a precious sore on her tailbone. The wound person walked in the door didn't get anywhere near my mother and said just give her the pink stuff she'll be fine. Then they sent in they're dermatologist and he said it was just flaking skin. She had to wait till she got home for me to clear that up. Certainly sitting in your own waist will break your skin down but no one seemed to care. This stay at V was torturous. They sent an able-bodied woman home on a stretcher because of their incompetence. Never ever again will my mother go to Vi. It was a horrible horrible experience and my mother has still not recovered from that incompetence.

I am writing this review based on my direct experience with Discovery at Home regarding the care of…read moremy mother. My mother was prescribed fluorouracil 5% cream to be applied only to her left hand. Despite clear instructions provided to the nurse Jackie and manager Jamy, the cream was applied to much larger areas including her back, shoulders, arms, chest, and face. This resulted in a severe skin reaction documented by her doctors as a "Topical Efudex Reaction," with significant pain, redness, crusting, oozing, and itching. My mother was unable to sleep for nearly three weeks due to the discomfort. As her son and primary caregiver, I had to personally apply her prescribed healing cream to her back every day for two weeks, which required me to miss work. When I raised concerns: The company conducted an internal investigation and stated their staff did nothing wrong. Administrator Rosana and regional manager Gary informed me they would not take any action. Shortly afterward, they canceled my mother's medical pill delivery service. I also experienced ongoing issues with medication delivery, including late doses and missed days. I have reported this matter to the appropriate state agencies. They are investigating.

My family member had no memory loss and was a PhD...there was zero chance the wallet was not in his home. I knew his apartment well, and many things in his apartment also had mysteriously "disappeared" while he was dying in a hospital. I found out that staff was sent to clean out his refrigerator 2 days after his admission to a hospital. Additionally, My family was not refunded the months rent he did not use, which was over $4,000. I am so angry when I think of this place. They don't care about anything but money, and certainly not the people's lives that reside there. How dare they act dumb when I asked where my family members wallet and others belongings were? Absolutely disgusting management, and completely untrustworthy. What a disgrace. *Adding that this is my opinion and my experience.

With dozens to choose from, in the specific area we were looking at, definitely made this process even more difficult. Allegro Senior Living was highly recommended to us and when we visited the facility it certainly did not disappoint. We had the privilege of meeting Mary Adams at Allegro who spent a tremendous amount of time with us. We toured the facility, spoke to staff and shared our story. We asked dozens of questions and shared our concerns. Mary was warm, knowledgeable and so transparent about expectations for a loved ones transition to a senior living facility. After visiting many other communities and reviewing our choices, we immediately knew that Allegro Senior Living would be the perfect living arrangement for our mom. The facility is immaculate, nicely appointed, has lovely grounds, is intimate in size and has an abundance of amenities and activities for those that choose to participate. The residents and staff are kind and welcoming. Our mother has been in Allegro for a month and the community has certainly continued to please us. She loves her apartment and raves about the dining selections and quality of the food. The administration, with Erica Cohen at its helm, Angela, head of nursing services and Mary Adams, are all very accessible when we have had questions or concerns. The entire staff has been so helpful to assist in acclimating our mother to her new living arrangement and has made us all feel at ease. Our mother is happy! If you and your family members are looking for a beautiful facility for your loved one, please take time to visit Allegro in Boynton Beach. Though not the newest facility we visited, Allegro Senior Living is definitely the best in the area if you are looking for a wonderful caring community for your loved one.

This review is just on the pool area: The clubhouse has a restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. They will make you pretty much anything. My son ordered pancakes with pickles and they made it for him (gross!). I had two eggs, coffee, everything bagel, and home fries and it was only $4.99! You cannot find breakfast like this in GA. It would cost $7 average. The staff is great. They made my daughter chocolate chip pancakes. We sat outside in the screened in porch which overlooks the pool. No food is allowed by the pool. The pool is larger and shaped like an L with two large entry areas. My kids had a blast there and no one complained about them. There is also a "current" pool which has a current that you can walk against for exercise. It is cold though where the larger pool is kept at a luke warm 88 degrees.
