With the exception a few care staff and kitchen staff who were compassionate as is staff member one being named Z and the other Ameriline the rest of the team appears untrained and disengaged. While they may smile, the nursing staff behavior is often aggressive, and they routinely ignore alarms and resident concerns. The cleanliness of the rooms is unacceptable--dirty laundry is left on the shower seat . Residents are denied autonomy, including the simple choice to remain in pajamas if they wish; instead, they are forced to dress regardless of their comfort or preference. Most troubling is the lack of personal connection. Staff make no effort to understand who the residents are as individuals, which strips away their dignity and humanity. I witnessed deeply concerning conditions during mealtime, but the list is too long to detail here. They did finally listened and now my mom is comfortable in her pajamas. The most distressing moment was finding my mother undressed, lying sideways in her bed, with two soiled diapers discarded on the floor--and then being confronted by the caregiver when I raised concern. This experience was heartbreaking and unacceptable. I strongly advise against entrusting this facility with the care of a loved one.

This is in reply to Susan W's review of Westland House…read more It is interesting that the sibling who lives 2400 miles away and visits the least has such a strong opinion. Let's talk about the snafus. These include medication not being given, sometimes for days at a time. A catheter bag put in backwards, which caused urine to back up into her bladder. Not surprising, Mom had a UTI shortly thereafter. Staff using Mom's personal supplies without replacing them and even using her blood pressure cuff on other patients and returning it hours later. There were also many instances of items missing from her room. Most were eventually replaced, often with a lesser quality product. Even though showers were scheduled ( and paid for) twice a week, they were routinely skipped, sometimes for weeks. We had to hire outside help to bathe her. The final snafu was an aide who was going to give mom the wrong insulin dosage, 3 times the level she should receive. There is a strong possibility that dosage would be fatal. You might also look up what the acronym snafu stands for. It is a military term, Situation Normal, all Fxxxxxx up. That is actually an accurate description. There were numerous complaints to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) while our mom was alive and if you look now, there are at least 5 additional complaints since her passing in October. Keep in mind there are only 50 residents at Westland House. Please see the attachments showing a few of the many complaints. As for Chris, he does make a good first impression. We talked to him for an hour about the issues at Westland House. We mentioned that Wanda is overwhelmed by the job. Chris agreed and said they are hiring a full time nurse ( finally) in addition to Wanda to handle the workload. What does that tell you? Chris agreed that there were on going issues with medicine distribution, housekeeping and general staffing. He thanked us for our comments and by his tone, you could tell he knew about a lot of these issues. Soon after the potentially lethal insulin incident, Chris called us back and said that we were banned from the property. So, instead of addressing the life threatening issue, you try to silence the messenger. The people that Susan W saw on her rare visits were probably the hospice staff, which we initiated. We also fought with Westland House for months on the issues listed above and there was some marginal improvement. Susan W saw improved service from our months of battles. Susan W's assessment of a family member's alleged belligerent behavior had to come from Chris, Wanda or the other siblings. And getting animated when someone is potentially harming your mother, or worse, just shows you care. Now, the rules for senior living facilities are clearly in favor of the facility. They can evict the resident or banish a person for the slightest of reasons, or no reason at all. We also had an ombudsperson from Wayne Country on the case, who worked with us for months. She did a great job. I'm guessing Chris's radical about face happened after he talked to his legal team. They probably weren't happy he told the truth about the conditions there. If you actually do decide to put a loved one at Westland House, keep a detailed log of every major issue and problem and file complaints with the State. We kept the records of the numerous medical mistakes. Every senior living facility has issues. The issues at Westland House are dangerous.

During this time of isolation, it is difficult and depressing for many residents. First and foremost Atria immediately protected their residents health with everything in their power. Then, the challenge of keeping them engaged, connected and happy began. I can not speak highly enough about this team. Their creativity, joy and fun have been contagious to the residents! Thank you for coming in everyday and for loving my mom when I can not be with her. I can not thank you enough!

From the initial sales tour with Suzy through the nurses review and meeting all the aids, I new this was the right place for Mom & Dad.

When questions or concerns came up, all I had to do was ask and the team responded with solutions that fit our needs. It is very comforting to know that my parents are in a safe and loving environment, and if they need anything at all, it's just the push of a button away. Now they can live out their golden years in comfort and safety. My sincere thanks to all the people that make up the team at Silver Maples of Chelsea!

After looking at multiple places, we decided to place my 92 year old dad at Kingsley for short term care. This was our first experience with assisted living, and needless to say we were all anxious that he would have a good experience. He went kicking and screaming. The anxiety quickly melted after our first discussion with the marketing person, and subsequently with all of the care and attention he received from the entire staff. They truly took care of him from their hearts and took him in as family, and eased our minds. When he discharged from their care, several staff members gave him hugs, and he told them he wanted to come and stay again, the best compliment of all. Later, he told me he enjoyed the food, and this man is a finicky eater. I cannot speak highly enough of Kingsley. It's a clean modern facility with an outstanding, very caring staff. God Bless them.
