After a short illness, my father was referred to Shaker Place Nursing and Rehab Center. You hear so…read moremany horror stories about Nursing homes that I was afraid to trust any home with his care. However, I was delighted to find the staff at Shaker Place to be wonderful. They were caring and treated my Dad with respect and kindness. They answered all my questions and worked with us to provide optimum quality care. They kept my Dad comfortable and were a trusted source when my family and I couldn't be there. A special thanks to Dr. Caufield, Remi, Christine, Ashley and Karen. Also, special thanks for his Hospice nurse Kimberly.

just now NEW This…read morepost below was what I wrote in complete desperation after this facility called us and informed us we would have a bed available for my grandmother Lois Mccormick. Then! We never heard from them again. Months after being told just 3 weeks. Not one phone call and now she's not well. And I believe shaker place would of played a good part in keeping her comfortable. Shame on you ! Post I submitted to a caregiver support group. (BELOW) I need some guidance. My gram was placed in a facility after falling. After almost 6 months of waiting to get her placed. She ended up in a facility I don't like. The facility we were waiting on just never called us after they told us 3 weeks. I called every day. They just completely ghosted us (shaker nursing home, Albany New York) Shaker Place Rehabilitation & Nursing Center watching her drop pounds and seem over sedated. There's a man on her floor and he's aggressive and punched her. The nurses seem cold and not friendly. ( won't mention the facility out of protection for her) I can't sleep at night still. When I was taking care of her it was a nightmare. I watched the one person I love more then anything, turn into this scared psychotic monster. I almost wish I could bring her home. But it just wasn't safe. No matter what I did. I broke my leg the day before she was placed. And have only been able to see her three times in 3 months. I'm sick over it. Hysterical at night. Can't keep it together. I'm scared about things she will ask me. Or what to say. I don't want to create more confusion. She doesn't really even know here she is. Do I talk to her like normal ? Do I leave out things that could trigger memories of her house. Now empty. Do I talk of old relatives. How do I bring her happiness when I see her. And how the f--ck do I get her out of this place. Just start calling places who take her insurance and start the process all Over again? I can't sleep till I know she's all right. Something deep inside of me feels something isn't right there. Everyone seems overly medicated. Last week I got myself there and I just walked into the locked memory care facility. Gram was sleeping. Lethargic and out of it. I did not SEE ONE NURSE OR PERSON for over 45 minutes. And 45 minutes of me just freely walking around looking for anyone. This is off right ? There's something off.

The food and dining experience is VERY BAD. The dining room is dark. The meals are often served late. The food is often cold and I am told it is often inedible. Given that a ninety-year old has little other than a meal to look forward to, Langdon Place is doing a huge disservice to its residence by not elevating this experience. I appreciate that groceries are expensive, so if necessary Langdon should increase the fee to insure the food is acceptable. This has to change.

They did not expect that and it ran probably better because I was there night and day. The problem which I have since learned thru an attorney who specializes in elder law is that they get away with a lot because family members are not there to see it. The GP assigned to my mother discontinued all her lifesaving medications without discussing it with me her legal health proxy. His actions led to her morphine infused death. I will file with the board of medicine and hope that he loses his license. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR LOVED ONE IN A FACILITY. I DID NOT PUT HER THERE MY BROTHER DID WITHOUT RESEARCHING. IF HE HAD HE WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WERE FINED IN 2014 FOR NOT DISPENSING MEDICATIONS CORRECTLY!!!!!!!
