Wildcat Senior Living

We were made a lot of promises prior to move in, had numerous problems after move in with getting cable service, problems with hot water, washer/dryer not hooked up properly, etc. There has been a lot of staff turnover in key positions which has caused problems. Meals were great at first but have gone down in quantity and quality. I think they have finally gotten staff straightened out and are trying, we have had to up my sister's care due to her declining health and they are working with us. Never an ideal situation in these circumstances, the facility is gorgeous but house-keeping is not the best.

This is a very nice facility and the staff generally do their best to take care of the residents. Their only issue is being able to keep enough staff to do this really well. But I think that is a problem that all facilities are facing. The Wildcat staff is genuinely caring. If they had more people, they would do a better job. When we left in June, they were very stretched and were doing the best they could, but it was hard because the management kept accepting more residents without additional staff. I would definitely recommend Wildcat Senior Living.

We picked this community because of the location. I would recommend to others.

The flexible meal times and menus are wonderful, especially for those residents with dementia and erratic schedules. Med techs have been so kind and attentive . Management staff is always available and eager to help . Accommodations are beautiful and updated . Each unit has central heat and air with ceiling fan included. All buildings have lots of big beautiful windows that allow residents to enjoy natural light for a more cheerful setting! Which is very important for the residents that aren't able to get outside much.

I am not there for mother's cares, know she can be very uncooperative and difficult. Just wondering how dementia pts are approached for showers and changing clothes, especially when pts not cooperative. Like, It's time to take your shower, or change your clothes. "This doesn't work. Like I said, I don't know if this is how they do it or not. I do know you need to kind of sneak up on them, as a manner of speaking, and not keep using terms of shower, and changing clothes. Keep the distracted while trying to accomplish task. I know this doesn't always work, and that my mother can be impossible at times. I am speaking from experience with my mother, and from over 50 years of nursing experience, mostly geriatric and management, and dementia clients. Not trying to be bossy or critical, but know with young people, they are not aware of many things, maybe not enough training about approaches for those with cognitive impairments.
