CriticalThe Highlands is horrible we are moving my mother next week , really don't have to say more than that , It's a terrible memory care facility with very high turnover of staff , weekends barely staffed etc etc etc ... Less then a year my mother fell twice broke 3 ribs and no one found her for an hour !! On the floor , she also got a gash in her head from hitting the night table and needed several stitches , they don't check on them as they say they do , the staff changes weekly it seems with zero dementia experience…
★★★★★
Positive5 on each. Small and the personal care is wonderful. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.
★★★★★
PositiveThe staff is great, very engaging with the residents and visitors, dining- seems like a nice variety, always something to temp the most picky eaters. The activity calendar is always full. I was surprised that the administration I met when touring has left the facility already. I do have concerns but I'm optimistic this won't affect the residents
★★★★★
PositiveThe staff is wonderful. they are professional and very caring. I would highly recommend..... they make difficult times easier
★★★★★
PositiveHad to move Mom to a memory care and this facility answered all our prayers. All the staff starting with admissions,the administrator and the kind and friendly staff that work at the desk at the front door made a difficult situation much more manageable. The staff on the unit are kind and helpful and very caring to my Mom and help to get her to laugh. We are so pleased that Mom is settling in, putting on weight and enjoying the entertainment and her nice apartment. The Highlands are a blessing to us.
★★★★★
PositiveThe staff at Highlands on the East Side are very hands on. There are always three or four nurses in the room with them. They don't just put you on a couch all day to watch tv. They interact with the patients and genuinely look like they care for the patients. The rooms are quite large. My mom loves the screened in porch and coloring.
