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.

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 person I spoke to scheduled an assessment appointment at our friends's home. Myself and two other friends redid our schedules, which wasn't easy, so we all could be present at the meeting. Over an hour after the schedule time, no one from Kingsway had shown up. I called and asked to speak to Farra who I had made the appointment with. I was told she were in a meeting. I explained we had been waiting over an hour for someone to show up. They took my message & said someone would call me back. It's been 2 days & not one call from anyone at Kingsway. I would not recommend this company. If they just don't show up to do an assessment, and do not call to explain why not, how can you trust them to take care of your loved ones?

I couldn't BELIEVE the amount of people who were here hours after me and then were seen before me. The common phrase overheard "I was here last night and left because the wait was so long I'm feeling worse today." There is clearly no systems in place here to help patients in a timely manner. I only came here cause all urgent cares were closed at the time I needed assistance. Wait times now are going on 3.5 hours. I'm only staying at this location because I have committed to waiting here for this long. If you need assistance seek help elsewhere. I can't comment on the care cause I haven't been seen... I will update this review after being seen. Update #1: we have hit the four hour mark. The RN behind the counter sincerely cares for patients you can tell she is doing anything she can to get people in. We will wait a bit longer and give a second update. Update 2: Nurses in back are very friendly! I would have less severe and severe rooms to reduce wait times for all patients. There was NO reason to be here four hours for what I needed to be seen for. The only reason to come here was because nothing else was open at the time and my primary told me to.
