I cannot tell you how actually wonderful Clayton Comfort Care is. Finding them was truly a godsend…read more I had my family member at one of those huge institutions, where she was routinely neglected. One time I showed up unannounced and she had gone to the bathroom and was completely neglected by the staff. For a much more reasonable price, Clayton Comfort Care takes exceptionally good care of her. She was always well cared for, very clean and well fed. In the many, many times I have been to see her, unannounced, there hasn't been a single problem. I highly, highly recommend Clayton Comfort Care. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

BUT, a warning to all who live there or are considering moving your lived ones there! There is a good deal of stealing in Arbor Ridge. Whenever I would buy my parents new clothes, they would disappear when they were sent for a wash. Their old worn-out clothes continuously came back to them, but not the new ones. And even more concerning, when my father died, the checks that sat on his dresser were stolen and someone try to cash them twice. My brother was alerted fortunately so could put a stop on the checks. But I can only imagine how often this is happening when family is not notified. I called the manager and the police but there was no follow-up even though they could actually identify the perpetrators by following the trail. When nothing was done, I wrote to the director of Erickson, but he did not even have the courtesy to reply. I still think its a wonderful place. But keep a careful eye out.

I've got a lot to say about this place after my mother spent almost four weeks here for subacute…read morerehab following a stroke. This facility receives $579 PER DAY to care for subacute rehab patients. This is what you can expect for that price.... They are pretty unorganized here. When my mother was brought in, they didn't have a bed ready for her and no one even seemed to know she was coming. The case manager at the facility that my mother came from told me she personally arranged the transfer with Mr. Williamson in the admissions department. I tried to call him to see what happened and he couldn't be bothered to return my voice mails. I toured this facility before deciding to place my mother here. During the tour I wasn't able to go into an actual room because Tiffany (admissions) claimed they were all occupied. This should have been a red flag for me and I wish I had seen the rooms first. There is mold on the sinks and they reek of urine since the bathrooms aren't properly cleaned and the smell wafts into the rest of the room. It's pretty disgusting. We had my mom move into a second room after about a week because her bed was broken. The bathroom in this new room was horrendous and the smell made us gag. There was dried urine all over the outside of the bowl and on the floor. I had to call an aide to have it cleaned. My family was there visiting my mother every single day so the restroom wasn't like that again but I wonder if that would have been the case if we weren't there as frequently as we were, especially since the woman residing alone in that room before my mother got there didn't have the ability to voice anything let alone displeasure over at the restroom. Most of the aides here are pretty terrible. Responses to calls for help can take as long as an hour. One aide would slam drawers and act huffy when she would have to bathe my mother. I don't know that she was ever bathed consistently and they never helped her brush her teeth. They don't watch the residents. My mother came in as a high fall risk and she fell a total of eight times (that we know of. I suspect that number is higher.)They would blame the family for some of these falls saying that we didn't tell them we left. The truth is we did tell them we left. One time I left my mother in the care of a physical therapist and an aide still tried to say it was my fault that she fell because I didn't tell them that I left. And when they blame the family they will actually yell at you over the phone. When you try to talk they talk over you even louder and don't stop. I had particularly heated phone calls with two aides on two separate occasions named Juliana and Mercy. I have never seen such unprofessionalism. My mother is covered in bruises and is lucky she didn't break anything. The staff's solution to the problem (after I called the director of nursing) was to park her at the nursing station and just let her sit there whenever a relative wasn't there to watch her for them. They still weren't watching her though even when she was at the nurses station and she wound up wheeling herself out into the parking lot. She's lucky she wasn't hit by a car. Dining staff seems to have no idea who should be eating what or even where they should be sitting. They are extremely unorganized. They are also pretty rude to the residents. If that's how they treat them when relatives are present I can only imagine how bad it is when there aren't any visitors. Family can dine with their loved ones for the reasonable fee of $5.00. If you're lucky Danine will be at the front desk and will gladly help you purchase your meal. If you're unlucky you'll have to deal with Barbara who is rude and acts bothered to help you. And if it's a minute past 10:30am forget it. Barbara won't even sell you a lunch ticket unless you get permission from the dining staff aides. Also I was concerned about the quality of food. My mother has diabetes and her sugar was running between 220-310 during her stay there. Her trays would frequently have ice cream, juices, and cakes. The equipment here is years old and barely functioning. My mom's bed was broken in the first room she was in. The brakes on the wheelchairs don't always work. We had an issue where the brakes on both side of a chair didn't work. The aides did nothing to help. The nursing unit manager finally got her chair replaced. Then the brakes on one side of the second chair stopped working. I told a total of SIX people (including the nursing unit manager) that the brake on one side of her wheelchair was broken. Three days later it remained unfixed. The therapist (the fourth person I told about the issue) had the solution of simply placing a weight behind the wheel on that side.
