However, as a health care…read moreprofessional, I feel I would be neglectful not speaking up if someone is looking to put their loved one's here. Last fall, we along with three other families moved our beloved family member out of this establishment and are so happy for it. When Arbor Terrace first opened, it was quite lovely. Over the last several years, all the original staff left, no consistency or quality in care and often down right neglect! We would often come to visit to see medication lying in clothes, under bed, and on shelves which means many many doses missed. More times than we can count, we would find all the sheet sets missing and would pull back comforter to see staff allowing our loved one to sleep on only a plastic mattress so as to avoid having to wash soiled sheets. Often our loved one was not offered the opportunity to use the facilities in eight hour shifts causing several dangerous U.T.I's. In the end, the owner found it easier to ask residents to leave instead of correct the problem. They only hire teens and call them aides, they hire 18yr olds who take a 7 week course on how to give meds, but do not know what they are for, and call them nurses or med techs. They do not Watch patient take and are not liable if mistakes made because they are not real nurses. They have 1 nurse on staff who is over 93 patients, not there on weekends, evenings and often at other facilities during the week. My husband and I go to many Assisted Living facilities as our ministry. None are as neglectful as this facility. We moved our loved one a year ago to a place that is not as fancy looking on the inside, but the quality of care is night and day. #ask turnaround off staff.#qualifications, #researchcomplaintsonfacilitywithombudsman,#patient to staff ratio , #%resource-staff. numberofstaffhangingtogetherincommonareaormursingstation,not in room assisting. The owner is in CA, and admits he is covered by law because GA has the easiest laws and more profitable with less chance of being sued by owning an Assisted Living than apartment complex. GA does have the worst laws protecting the elderly but being a huge advocate of the elderly, Arbor Terraces would be the last place I would put anyone. You are better off sending loved one out of state but truly there are good places locally, you just have to do your homework.

I'm sure I signed something saying it's $3500 a month it was a booklet of pages to sign. These companies taking advantage of the elderly is so sad and immoral. I don't know how they sleep at night. I might add that almost none of the people working there speak English or understand it! they have an app the elderly have to speak into so the girls can understand them. if they sickly or disabled it is very hard to communicate! The girls then have to speak Spanish back into the phone so the elderly person can get an answer. CRAZY! PLEASE! be careful where you put your loved one's apparently there are a lot of places taking advantage of the elderly! It is so sad.

As an account executive for a major home health agency, I have seen first hand the level of care that is provided to their residents.

I would highly recommend Gateway Gardens if you are looking for a clean and respectable place to look after your loved ones.

They need to be honest when agreeing to accept your loved one to this facility and promising that…read morethey can handle people who are bedbound or people who are in wheelchairs and have incontinence, etc.. They've been taking for two months and my mother fell and broke her arm because nobody answered the call for two hours and she tried to get up and use the bathroom on her own and fell. After falling, they called me and told me that I'm gonna have to hire private caregivers. When I couldn't make that happen fast enough, they referred me to a place named honeybee. It's a lovely place, don't get me wrong and the caregivers are wonderful people, but why am I paying Gateway 4600 a month and then having to pay private caregivers to do what Gateway is supposed to be doing. The staff is very unprofessional. The director of nursing has a nonchalant uncaring laid-back attitude. Maybe it's because she has a title as an executive Director but she's an LPN who probably doesn't make much money. That's not my fault. Then they have other people who have titles, but nobody does their job. I've always learned, to whom much is given, much is required. Nobody is above helping others. If you work here, you were supposed to get your hands dirty and help these residents. These people are paying between 3800 to 6000 month approx so that they can get assistance with their activities of daily living. If a single caregiver that I pay for could come to this facility and help my mother with a bath, why can't Gateway help her. It's not like I'm paying for three caregivers. I'm paying for one person who does what needs to be done. Well they have more than one person working here, and therefore, they should be able to provide the assistance that my mother needs. Especially since she broke her arm here. It's in a sling and she is 85 and she does have Alzheimer's and she's becoming wheelchair bound a month and a half ago, she used a rollator to walk in here. You don't get what you pay for. They say that they help with doctors appointments and they say they do a lot of activities and go on trips. That's very exaggerated. The trips are far and few and the activities are bingo and Bible study. And even bingo is rare. The resident formed their own Bible study. And it's only about five people that attend, and my mother was one of them . They want a 30 day notice but I am not staying here for 30 days and paying for caregivers for another 30 days while still giving them a check for $4600. We're going to have to fight in court about that because it's all about the principle. This is not and it's neglectful to say the least. The fact that you're taking my money, but nobody wants to assist her and you want me to pay for an outside person to come in and take care of her is beyond belief. Astounded and shocked by how much nerve Has to call me and suggest that. And then to show you how poor their communication is, the executive Director Heather just called me today to act clueless about everything and say she didn't know any of this. She heard my mother was moving out tomorrow. I never told anyone she was moving tomorrow. It takes time for another facility to come in a valuate your loved one and to obtain the clinicals and letter of certification from the doctor in order for your loved one to be transferred to a facility. There's a process here. But this is why I don't like this place. The communication is poor. People downright lie. They're unprofessional. They have retaliatory practices. They're dishonest and lack integrity because they want to take your money without doing the job. They give the worst selection of food. They bragged about having a chef, but my mother has more sandwiches than she's ever eaten in her life. Hot food is also not that common to come. They say that people have acid reflux and dentures and some of them have no teeth at all and that's why they serve sandwiches. It's just a lot of excuses. They should have some kind of meeting or plan where they let me know that my mom will be safe from this point on. There was no such call. The only call I got was to tell me that I need to hire caregivers because it took four of them to get her off the floor and she's too heavy and they don't have that kind of manpower and therefore I need to hire private help And that's 100% factual. if we end up in court, which I hope we do, I will have the evidence to show the court that they made these calls and they told me these things. Now they're trying to backtrack on what they said. I'm over it. Gardens was the worst mistake ever. Total waste of $10,000 that I could've put to better use. Now I will give my money to a real assisted living facility that knows what the word assistance means

We were fortunate to find a 2 bedroom and kitche area so we changed The second bedroom to a nice comfortable living room that has a door that leads out to a private patio. This is not cheap but after losing my father at the previous place these final years with mom I think will be comfortable here at Arbor Terrace. We came here after her brain surgery and she's had five strokes in the last two years and other injuries but no cancer and no dementia. I travel a lot but I'm with her at least three days a week and she's very demanding on the staff and me which is just her personality, but she's the love of my life and caring for her is my first priority I can't be prouder of the facilities here from the directors to the kitchen staff the medical staff all of the daily caregivers that works so hard to make everyone here as comfortable as they can be. I don't know how they do it. Everybody goes through various changes and illnesses in the later age but they manage it well. I thought I would write this during the pandemic as it's important to know that this location best that I can tell practices extreme safety, restricts entry from outsiders, are getting meals to everybody on time or three times a day every day, and dealing with family trying to see their loved ones who they haven't seen in over a month. There's many people to thank thank you all for the job you do the heroes that you are the care that you give to those we can't be with every day. Highly recommend!

The second family member was in memory care and moved due to lack of hygiene care and the facilities inability to stop a male resident that continually entered her room and scared her even after multiple requests from the family to care staff.
