Whenever I visited, I was treated warmly, and my father was always resting comfortably in a clean room and a pristine bed, with carefully laundered, comfortable clothes. He had dementia, so he was unable to tell us how the staff was treating him (and never having been the type of person to complain) we had to take non-verbal cues. All the cues pointed to a staff that was both patient and caring. Trust was essential to us and something we considered heavily before deciding on a place for our beloved father. During his final days, our family experienced feelings that I cannot properly put into words here. Likewise, I am unable to express how sensitive the staff was in their treatment of my father. I imagine that they deal with loss on a regular basis, but never once did they regard our grief casually. My father was a kind, gentle, man and was known for his singing voice, his whistling, his love of jazz and his love of the Word. The staff made sure he was able to enjoy all these things during his final days. They all knew him by name, and said he was easy to care for and easy to care about. This was evident in their heartfelt farewell. You can not pay someone to care, and [care] is what they did here. Perhaps I have not adequately relayed, but in my heart I will absolutely, always appreciate every last member of this staff for giving of themselves so selflessly, when it counted most.

They…read morerefuse to take responsibility for their serious mistakes and gaslight me whenever I confront them. The latest incident involved their failure to notify me when my mom fell at the facility. They sent her to the ER and had a contracted after-hours medical service call me from an 1800 number at 6:48 AM. This provider didn't inform me to look out for such a number in emergencies, so even if I had been awake, I wouldn't have known to answer. The Optum service team admitted they couldn't provide a specific number because calls come from various numbers. The facility claims Optum acts as their extension, while Optum says they aren't employees of the agency and that their relationship with the facility does not stop the facility nursing staff (staff in general) from contacting me directly. My mom has been at this facility for years, and they have always called me in the past when she fell or needed to go to the hospital, not the contracted Providers. From what I understand ( by research) this appears to be a state and federal violation. The bottom line is that my confused elderly mom was sent to the ER without my knowledge, and I only discovered it the next day when I noticed a wristband on her. She told me she asked the nursing home to call me, but they didn't. The facility continues to avoid accountability, as usual. I requested their grievance policy and form to file a complaint but was denied. Their regional Director decided he would not afford me this right and had the form completed by their Administration, not reflecting my chief complaint. I've received conflicting answers from the facility and the State Rep responsible for holding them accountable. This has been an ongoing battle just to protect my mom's rights and not be bullied by Administration (ignoring me many times, dismissing my concerns and gaslighting me) there because I am advocating for her.

Her exuberant demeanor helps pull one out of their pain so the healing becomes so much easier. The techs that help with the assigned exercises are wonderful as well!

As they wheeled me through the door, in a wheelchair, I noticed that the facility was almost brand new.... I think. Everything was clean and shining. All the staff had wonderful smiles on their faces and I knew this was my happy home for the next 3 weeks. The food was excellent especially if you're a fan of southern cooking; however, if you're a northerner like me, they will accommodate you for each meal. But the southern flare was so good, I went in a northerner and left 3 weeks later a southerner. Anyway, I had physical therapy 5 hours a week (M-F) and occupational therapy 5 hours a week (M-F). My PT and my OT people were fantastic. They worked with me to give me the maximum benefit in my rehabilitation. I felt myself getting stronger everyday. The nursing staff worked very hard to bring me the maximum comfort, provide my meds in a timely fashion, and yet those hard working nurses always had a smile for me all the time. My doctors recommendation of this facility was, without a doubt, the right place for me. I came in a wheelchair and 3 weeks later I danced out the door.

When the lock was finally fixed and I thought I would have privacy, a family member next door knocked on the door when I was in there! When I mentioned this lack of privacy and equal access to a night shift CNA, she was loud and dismissive-- ("yeah,it's always been like this"). By then, when I was on the verge of tears, several very caring team members (Faith (nurse), Kacey (Rehab manager) ,and many others (including Tina in housekeeping) listened to my situation and it was brought up at a staff meeting and remedied immediately. My new room with a private bath was wonderful, and everyone I met on that wing was friendly and caring. I will be having a total joint done later this year and hope to see all these friendly faces again. I loved the quality of care that I received and the professionalism I encountered all around.

If he was a rich person with all the money in the world, he probably would have survived a little longer and we would have been able to at least visit him or say good bye. Here they refused to even return phone calls, emails, and the only one who was allowed to even visit my dad was my brother. I have noticed since covid, that veterans, the poor, the elderly, and those with disabilities are treated deplorably especially nursing homes. Had it been a rich and famous white man, they would NOT have forced my brother to drive him places with Covid and would have given him an ambulance and rolled out the red carpet for him like they would have for our former president Donald Trump. He worked for the state and as long as a democrat were in office, he got support services for everything. Now, we cannot even have a funeral, and he had to be cremated. I do not know who to blame, but it hurts to be disabled because no one has any humanity left. All I see is the rich getting richer and those who are the most vulnerable dying. We even tried to call the VA hospital who would not even take him though he was a veteran. I am heart broken and will be in therapy emotionally for the rest of my life, but I though the war in France between the haves and have nots happened already. Why does it now happen in my country all because of two political powers in charge? I never will forget how the rich and famous in this country get all the best medical health care and those who worked for the state or were anything but rich and famous got the boot. He was in his 80s and they could not save him. He had blue cross blue shield and medicare and because it was not rich person's insurance, he got pooped on along with my whole family. He was made to go places like Baptist hospital too, but not by ambulance. I wish I could leave this country to mourn and live in peace because all I see here is no humanity left. He could not be saved and the official cause was metalosis from those bad hip implants, and when he found a lawyer to sue for them, they were paid to drop his case, and I do not know the name of that attorney in Florida or I would have them disbarred. People in this country care more about money than people. At least, there will be a record of this some place. There is also a place in Hell for the greedy who care more about money than anything as it seems people who accept medicare and even medicaid or at least in the foothills or the majority of them that I found have not one ounce of compassion left.

Every staff member our family has interacted with has been friendly, gracious, and caring, starting with Mr. Peters who consistently greets everyone with a smile and a helping hand when they walk in the door. The nursing staff are phenomenal! I have to thank Nurse Cynthia and the Medical Director, Dr. Russell, who helped us get my aunt settled in on Day One. Amanda and Eva have diligently followed up to make sure that my aunt, who requires extensive medical services, always gets the best possible care. Her nurses, including Elizabeth, Marco, Carole, Sean, Mallory, Julia, Olivia, Mike, and Sierra (I'm sure I'm leaving someone out, and I apologize!) are always kind, gentle, professional, and accommodating. They go out of their way to make sure she is happy and comfortable. I just can't say enough about the consistently excellent level of care. My aunt received Speech, OT, and PT services that were specifically designed to meet her individually prescribed goals. My aunt participated in determining what her goals would be in a way that honored and respected her agency. Her progress was regularly measured and shared with her as well as the family. We would like to thank her therapists Nicole, Brook, Katie, Kate, Julie, and Sam (again I'm sure I'm unintentionally leaving someone out!) for all their hard work and for always going the extra mile to meet my aunt's needs, including procuring specific equipment to help her meet her goals. The therapists work together seamlessly to provide excellent support every day, including weekends. The nutrition services at the Lodge are excellent and personalized. Individual requests are not only tolerated but encouraged. The office staff at the lodge know and care about each patient individually. Susan and Shannon have patiently answered all of the family's questions and concerns as my aunt has recently transitioned from short term care to long term care due to her condition. And finally, our enduring gratitude goes out to Courtney, the utterly amazing social worker at the Lodge, who deeply cares for each patient, coordinates services, answers so many questions with grace and patience, and thinks outside of the box to help patients like my aunt live the most fulfilling life possible in difficult circumstances and with attention to dignity.

I am writing this review to warn others about the deeply troubling care my mother received at The…read moreLodge at Mills River. What she endured during her stay was not merely substandard -- it was a failure of basic human dignity that no patient should ever experience. My mother was admitted with a fractured pelvis, a serious and painful injury requiring careful, attentive care. Instead, pain management was grossly inadequate -- her suffering was never brought under control, and she was left in visible, prolonged distress. The facility does not provide patients with catheters despite limited mobility, leaving her lying for hours at a time in her own urine and excrement. This alone is a profound failure of basic nursing care. This is done to encourage patients to get out of bed, one staff member told me. When staff finally did attend to her, the handling of her body was alarmingly awkward. During cleaning, they moved her from side to side applying direct pressure to her fractured pelvis -- causing her tremendous, unnecessary pain. Whether this was due to a lack of training or simple carelessness, it is completely unacceptable for a patient with a known pelvic fracture. The environment itself was deeply distressing. A patient in an adjacent room could be heard repeatedly crying out "help me" -- for an extended period -- with no response whatsoever from staff. That sound will stay with me. It was not an isolated moment; it reflected the culture of neglect that seemed to permeate this facility. The attitude of much of the staff compounded everything. Several wore permanent scowls and did not mask their resentment when asked to respond to my mother's needs. Compassion and patience -- the very foundation of caregiving -- is in short supply when your job is driven by the numbers. I would urge anyone considering The Lodge at Mills River for a loved one to look elsewhere. Families trust these facilities with the people they love most, often at their most vulnerable. That trust was utterly broken here.

The administration there do not truly care about the residents nor the employees they have. I was an employee at Glenbridge and I reported the neglect that was constantly happening. Employees on 3rd sleep, do not do rounds accordingly and don't answer call lights accordingly. Because of this the residents fall and get hurt and also have skin breakdown. When I reported the neglect with undeniable proof to the DON nothing was done about it and it was allowed to continue to happen. I took the next step and called state and after I did I was retaliated against and bullied by administration. I spoke up for the residents because they deserved better care and because of it I was treated unfairly by administration. Things are done underhanded at the facility such as the heads of nursing paying certain employees out of their own pockets to work in their place when the facility is short staffed. The DON also talked to other employees about things on my background report that those employees were not privy to. When I confronted the DON about this she denied it, took me off the schedule and a couple days later I was wrongfully terminated. If you truly value your loved ones you won't place them in Glenbridge. If you want to work for a good company that values their employees well Glenbridge isn't the place for you to work.
