I am starting this by saying if I didn't have to give them one star I would not. I moved my mom into Edgewood this summer because it was time. We had been to visit other facilities in the area and this on looked very nice. The grounds were well kept and the apartments were light and clean. It had a great looking dining room and many activities for mom to enjoy. We both agreed it was the best. I spent 3 months away from my home getting mom moved in and adjusted to her new home. I went back to California in October telling mom I would return right after Christmas. She was healthy and doing fine at the end of October. On November 16 I got a call telling me that she had passed. Of coarse I was devastated and returned to Edgewood on the 17th of November. I was told that I had 3 days to move her out of her 2 bedroom apartment. I tried to talk to the management and called a number of times to try and explain that this was not even possible. I had no where to stay except in her apartment and needed to make arrangements for her memorial, as well as figure out what to do with her things. It was the beginning of winter which I was not used to being from California. It was so upsetting to me and I wasn't doing very good. What with the blowing snow, cold and major grief as well as shock over the loss of my mom I needed to explain that it would take me longer than the 3 days they gave me. She had a full apartment. Furniture, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms all filled. I knew that she had paid through the end of November. I was told that she was on a "sr waiver" and that stopped paying the day she died. I called every agency for help. Finally her social worker got in touch with me and told me she was self pay for the apartment rent. Tand had an attorney call. I was told that the sr waiver covered extras so I had until the end of November. This all happened over thanksgiving week so I was throwing so much of her stuff away. I had given away both beds and packed her van with the important things. I had no where to sleep because the beds were gone. I had been treated so badly I was literally sick. The management had told me point blank I had to be out. It was a nightmare. Because I am disabled i didn't have extra money to get motel rooms. It cost me my monthly check to fly there. I ended up getting her memorial together on dec 6. I was living homeless for over 2 weeks because I was told that I had to go. I had many friends in the area still that I had gone to high school with and they graciously helped me out and let me stay with them. But Edgewood's management didn't bother to get in touch with me to let me know I could stay until the end of the month. This made my moms passing even worse. I was so stressed out that I spent most of the time crying and shaking. I did get almost everything out by the end of the month. I was told that habitat for humanity would remove the 2 dressers and 1 vanity that was left. I was shocked when I gOt a call on December 11th and was told that I was responsible for rent through that day because "the furniture was still there". Edgewood had locked up the apartment so habitat could not get it out. No one bothered to tell me this. The management at Edgewood was so cold and non responsive throughout this horrible time in my life it still shocks me. One would think that when your dealing with this type of population you would know how to deal with families experiencing loss. I was treated so badly by these people that I am still dealing with the repercussions of PTSD. I miss my mom horribly. She was very healthy and vibrant with no issues at all until she just died. If your considering moving a loved one in there I would suggest you contact an attorney and get their death policy in writing or this could happen to you. I am sick to my stomach as I look over the bill that I just got in the mail. They are charging me "room, board and amenities". I find this disgusting and wrong. What type of amenities and board was she using considering she was dead. Shame on you Edgewood. I do need to say that the nursing and kitchen staff were kind. It was the management that were horrible. read more
