Our problem there was office staff. The people working with my mother were excellent. But office staff never responded to voicemails. They come in a 11am and I don't know when they left. I tried to contact [name removed] several times to no avail. The person answering the phone, after I told her my mother had died and I needed to talk to [name removed] didn't offer condolences. When I told her it would be nice if, in the future she did, she said she wasn't that kind of person.
We picked this community, because t's fairly new and is a nice location. They also had an opening where other places had a 2+ year waiting list. He is very happy there and has made friends and is involved in weekly activities like bingo and left right center.
