ok, but needs work

I understand that elder care is a challenging issue from both a business and human condition perspective. Gloucester House was really on point when we moved our in-laws in. Staffing changes and challenges have dulled our enthusiasm. There are still good people working there who actually care but there are others there (doctors and nursing staff specifically) who either don't care or are too overwhelmed to have the time to care.

Unjust Policies resulting in fall

Comment on quality of care. We were still in the first week transition period, not visiting so mom could adjust when another patient had an altercation with mom, knocking her on the ground. An aide called to tell me about the incident. I asked to speak to mom and her speech was very slurred. It was then that I asked if mom had been given a drug. The aide stated yes, per the facility's policy, all parties involved are to be administered a sedative, regardless of who initiated the aggressive behavior. Mom got out of

Did not meet expectations

My mom was admitted on Monday. We were advised to give her a week or so to acclimate to her new environment. On Friday, 4 days later, we were notified that she was pushed by another patient, fell and hit her head. We were not denied visitation but in so many words were told that coming there may cause more issues. Mom was at the nurses station and they did put her on the phone. She seemed in good spirits but was slurring some. When I asked if they had given her meds, the aid said it was protocol to give BOTH patien

I wish we had found this place sooner

We wish that we'd gotten mom here sooner. It was a wonderful experience and so much better for her than her previous facility was. Everyone was always friendly here. The nurses were great about checking on mom. They were always interactive and smiling. My siblings and I were really really pleased with the care that mom got here. They offered a good variety of activities, cleanliness was great, just an overall wonderful place. Communication with the family was really good. When mom passed, they called right away and
