Encore at Foulk Experience

My parents have only been there since[ date removed], so I don't have much to compare to. We did not know they were bought by encore until they moved in. I would rate the facility with all 5's except for the category of food. I would give that a rating of 3. My parents have noticed a delay in receiving what they ordered, missing items, and cleanliness concerns during meals. Lack of basic items such as water glasses and coffee cups and silverware. I know of other residents in assisted living who were deeply concern

Review for Encore at Foulk

I'd tell a friend. to do research on the new company that has taken over and ask a lot of questions. Like staff to resident ratio for instance. And the other facilities that they are/were involved operating. I do know the new company that took over gave some families letters of termination and have 30 days to vacate and find another place for the their loved ones. They have also cut staff and apparently only have one Registered Nurse to hand out medications to the residents on all 3 floors. Without saying that did

Review for Encore at Foulk

Always a pleasant experience every time I visit my friend, [name removed]. Staff is friendly and helpful. They treat the residents with respect. [name removed] participates in some of the activities, but she stated she enjoyed herself. Her room is always clean.

No worries

The staff is great. They encourage the residents to get involved with others and to participate in activities. Unfortunately because my mother has vascular dementia, she is more argumentative and doesn't want to participate. She is also wheelchair bound. The staff still will encourage her. They also have special occasions that family members can have dinner or lunch with the residents, such as Thanksgiving, Easter, Mother and Father's Day's. Just recently they had a BBQ for Memorial Day. So they try to make things
