Heritage Village of Gladstone

Previous experience

Mom has Alzheimer's. The Director of Sales (not sure if that title is correct) was new at the time, and she assured us that they were qualified to care for Alzheimer's residents, and there were activities throughout the day that they could involve her in. Five days after Mom moved in, we got a call from the Director of Admissions saying they were not qualified to care for Alzheimer's residents and we had two weeks to move her to a different facility. They did not involve her in activities throut the day, and one nu…

I toured Heritage Village of Gladstone and it was a great tour. However, I didn't really care for the facility. We decided to continue with our search.

Would not recommend for Alzheimers

The director of marketing was brand new, it was only her second day on the job when she met with us.

There is a code for family members that come often, they give you a code to get in to see your loved one. The community calls me about once and month, a…

Good, safe, sound environment

My 90 y/o sister moved in the week before Thanksgiving, so she hasn't been there long. She seems to be doing much better than she was before moving in to Heritage. They make sure she takes her meds properly, and the meals are good and balanced--something she wasn't getting before. She likes the staff & they are so kind to her. The interaction with others has been good for her. It may not be as fancy or roomy as soon of the other places, but many of the frills seen in other assisted living homes would not be of use …

not fit for animals

this was the worse place I have ever seen in my life I love that pic of the waitress over the couple that is false advertising. those 2 must go and stay at every nursing home their pics are in so many the staff well 90 % is a joke they give RESIDENTS peanut butter sandwiches to watch after other residents so they can do other things like nap and yes I mean nap. they do have great people to come in to perform but I wouldn't put my dog in there when I went on vacation. they had bed bugs in there because it was not ke…
