The most discouraging point about Harbor Lights is the lack of parking for friends and loved ones . It is near impossible to find extra parking this past year ! This is not fair to the residents to have their friends and family discouraged from visiting . We recently were told she had to have her paid reserved parking removed ! There is no where to park to bring up her groceries and help her to her room. BUYER BEWARE !

My parents have lived at Seabrook (an Erickson Community) almost 20 years. My father served on the…read moreErickson Regional Board as a Seabrook resident for a number of years. This past week, my 101-year-old father was dying. The full-time aide called me to let me know. My mother called security. Security moved him from the bed to the floor and started CPR. The aide called me back and Security said that they were doing CPR. I said "NO!" My father has a Do Not Resuscitate Order, posted exactly where the Seabrook process says to post it. Many hours had been spent to make sure that the forms were completed, signed by the doctor and put into the correct place. Security had failed to even look for the form, violating their own process. When I arrived, two local police officers were there. The police were waiting for the go-ahead to release the body and the scene. The bedroom door was shut. My mother had been told that we should not go into the room before the transport that we had arranged came for his body. This indicated that they did not think anyone should go to say their last goodbyes. The transport took several hours to arrive, and my 98-year-old mother needed something from her bedroom. I went in and quickly understood the compassionate warning. To perform CPR, Security had moved my father from his bed to the floor. CPR is violent, especially on such an elderly person. He was left, just like that. It was shocking to me, his only son. I have been a firefighter. At my first fire, I saw a lump with a blanket over it. I asked what it was. The response? The family dog, covered out of respect for the feelings of the family. My father was not even covered by the bedsheet right next to him. I am reeling with the callousness. The lack of professionalism. The total disregard of the process Seabrook (an Erickson Community) has created themselves. The only consolation is that my father was no doubt already gone when they started CPR on his small and frail body; if not, CPR would surely have killed him. This experience - which should have been peaceful - has traumatized myself, my 98-year-old mother, my two sisters and the rest of the family. This should not have happened, not to my father and not to anyone. But I challenge you to search for my father, Allan Ostar, online. He was a very distinguished individual. A veteran of WWII, a member of the 42nd Rainbow Division, a liberator of Dachau Concentration Camp. His valor was recognized then with the Bronze Star and later, he was inducted into the French Legion of Honor. He went on to a multi-decade career promoting public higher education as the founding president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. He provided visionary and practical guidance. One example is the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges, which operated from 1972 until 1997. AASCU worked with colleges across the country to build a program that allowed our servicemen and women to earn college credits at any of the participating colleges and graduate from the one where they take the last course. You might possibly know of one or more veterans who have benefitted. He was given an award from the Secretary of Defense for this achievement. Erickson and Seabrook should be deeply ashamed. There is no excuse for this. Simply none.

After a week, she recovered and went to NJ Shore Center. Unfortunately, they are understaffed and don't care when patients could potentially have life threatening issues. My mom was complaining for 21 days her red button help bell was not working. I also complained multiple times. The response we got, my mom is not pushing the button and maybe she needs a psych evaluation. During the 21 days my mom waited up to an hour to get assistance to move her bowels and was in severe pain. She was constantly in wet diapers. I was too trusting and after 21 days, I personally tested the red help bell. Low and behold to their surprise the signal was being routed into another room. They acknowledged, called maintenance and didn't even apologize, heartless. The damage was done and I noticed my mom confused with hands uncontrollably shaking on the 23rd day. I demanded she go to Monmouth medical. They called ambulance and we waited 6 hours. Never again, I should have called 911 myself. As soon as my mom got into the hospital she had a seizure. She had urinary tract infection and went into septic shock. Her blood pressure dangerously low and went into ICU. Once again, she survived and after 7 days went to an acute hospital / rehab - Encompass. My mom went there barely able to stand and within 14 days she was speed walking and healthy. She is now back home and doing well. Miraculous recovery! I can't say enough of the care and the staff at Encompass, they are the BEST. Unfortunately, NJ Shore center was the worst and almost cost my loving and spirited mom her life.

My mom moved in a couple of weeks ago, and while she has had a difficult time adjusting, because of the kindness of the folks there and the superior qualities of the program, I believe she will eventually find happiness again. The food is excellent and plentiful, and the staff couldn't be nicer or more engaging. The programs are entertaining, which I say because mom has participated in most of them even though she has been sad about leaving her home. The security is great; they strike the perfect balance between safety and free, independent living. Making this change has been one of the hardest things my family has ever been through. We are lucky that we have found the people at Brandywine, from the women in management to the concierge to the dining hall staff, the chauffeur, the nurses, the care managers, every person on the staff, and the wonderful residents. I have high hopes that mom's next chapter will be filled with activity and good fellowship. For that I am grateful.

They got to know him: music he liked, stories he told, hobbies of his, and more. They took the time to know his family: our names, relations, where we were from, and so on. We would spend hours in his room and they would bring us trays of food directly to us- sandwiches, cookies, coffee/tea.. anything we needed! They took such great care of my grandfather and us, giving us one less thing to worry about in a tough time. When my grandfather passed, there was a sweet nurse next to him. He talked about how gentle and kind she was, and she was able to be right next to him as he passed away. It gives our family great comfort to know that he was in good hands before we could be there. Every single person we interacted with was so unbelievably kind. If you are nervous about leaving a family member here, I can tell you that, from my experience, they will be taken great care of.
