It's now 2:15 PM and she has neither come to the appointment nor called us. This is unacceptable. UPDATE: She did, in fact, show up, and was able to work with our father as planned. So, no need to say anything after all.

Update Nov. 2021. Mom has lived for about 7 plus years in Redstone Village assisted living and…read moreGrandview Gardens memory care. I can't say enough kind words about this facility! A lot of your loved one's care has to do with you. Do you show up? Do you visit your loved one? I know not everyone can due to being remotely located. This facility loves my Mom and loves her well. They delight in getting her ready for a joyride (thanks Serea), and the staff are so engaged with mom they can't wait to tell my family and me what she's been up to (both good and bad). I have one of their fabulous nurses on text message and can get any information I need about Mom in an instant. They are so responsive and so loving. I highly recommend Grandview Gardens for your loved one's memory care needs and Redstone Village for assisted living. Some advice: be present if possible and be active in your loved one's care this goes a long way. Both Redstone Village proper and Grandview Gardens have kept mom happy and healthy for around 7 years! Thanks so much! This facility is clean and updated and full of activities but If your loved one doesn't want to participate, they willingly go the extra mile to ensure their needs are met, for example, making sandwiches for mom who slept through dinner and didn't eat. This is the type of facility you do not dread visiting. Please consider Redstone Village. It is an entire life span facility from freestanding homes where you have a beautiful view and can drive your car or golf cart to dining or exercise or swimming facilities to assisted living again with beautiful views, to memory care with ample activities, including day trips to local strawberry picking and restaurants to hospice. Redstone Village is the real deal and my family and I are so grateful Mom is enjoying her 88th year on the planet here. My family have visited other facilities in Madison county and mom lived in one for about a year. Redstone Village eclipses all of them in terms of compassionate care, consistent rule following and generally loving what they do. Almost no personnel turnover. For peace of mind do consider RV and GG.

My search for a retirement community began with the goal of finding a community with excellent…read moremedical facilities and a diverse population. I wanted a facility that offered both independent and assisted-living as well as a memory care unit to ensure that all my future needs would be adequately met. Redstone Village, nestled up on a hill surrounded by mature trees and beautiful gardens, has exceeded my expectations. The staff has been most helpful in guiding me throughout the process from my initial visit to moving in, which has made the entire move less stressful. I have found my neighbors to be very warm and welcoming. Daily opportunities from exercise to pleasant social events, good food and shopping close by makes for ideal senior living. SB

We never had to worry that she was being taken care of. From Mary Overton, the facility admissions director to everyone from the aides, CNAs, nurses, and maintenance we were very satisfied with her care. She was treated with love and dignity in her last days.

My elderly mother was given seroquel while hospitalized at Decatur General Hospital for double…read morepneumonia. She had never been combative EVER until she was constantly being awakend for vital checks, breathing treatments, etc. After 22 days, she was admitted to Madison Manor. I had requested several times that she be reduced on this medicine to at least half the dosage. That never happened. According to WebMD, Seroquel (quetiapine) is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and sometimes major depression. It functions by balancing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, frequently causing sedation, dizziness, and weight gain. Key precautions include increased risk of death in elderly dementia patients, suicide risk in young adults, and potential metabolic changes. As far as I can see, my mother was given this drug because the Decatur Hospital staff and the Madison Manor staff found it an easy way to deal with patients that are not cooperating with their rough treatment. Mom had to be hospitalized at Madison Hospital for a hernia repair just last week. I told the hospital nurse that I want to get her off Seroquel. It finally happened when her attending doctor listened and got her off this unnecessary drug. She is now at home and returning to her normal, sweet disposition. I also found that she had a yeast infection which was pretty severe - from not being treated at Madison Manor.

Staff has no clue about why they were there or what to do with them replying as always, "I am new." Insert eye roll. I told them not to put them back in Moms room as we need to be able to manage her clothing and keep it organized. Then I had to tell the staff to ask their boss Patrick what to do about it because it's not the first time it's happened to us and I'm 100 percent sure it's not the first time he has dealt with it. Next time I think I'll leave a trail of said clothing up and down the hallway. If the staff don't care, why should I? This place is awful!

People go to these facilities to have a peaceful, comfortable, safe, and secure end of life home. To uproot them with only a 30-day notice is cruel, but to uproot approximately 28 residents simultaneously, well that is more than the city and surrounding areas has the ability to take in elsewhere, and that's plain unethical. This was a nice place for us to live, but heartless and unethical actions like this to the community do not deserve any rewards.

Pretty on the outside - negligent on the inside…read more My mother was in the Monark Grove memory care facility from July to Nov 2023 - until we had to take her out. We had to instruct them to do simple things like: take her hearing aids out st bedtime, take her temp if you see her coughing, call the doc if she has edema, and change her sheets if she has an accident - none of these things were being done. We also found scatches on her arms which weren't being treated. I could go on. Staff appear to not have experience in a memory care facility. We found staff staring at their personal phones everytime we were there. The turnover among staff and managers is unbelievable. Maybe this is just the typical standard of care for this corp. She has been in another facility for 6+ months and the difference is night and day. Observing the staff in the new facility has shown us that Monsrk Grove is not just poorly run, but likely on their way to be investigated by the state.
