CriticalThis community and company are a shame. The turnover is terrible. Prestige has had 8 Executive Directors in the last year. There is no accountability for staff when breaking state regulations or Prestige company policies. The only Executive Director they had that tried to hold staff accountable, they fired. Why? Because accountability hurt staff feelings. Think twice before moving your loved one into this community if they are more concerned with staff feelings than doing the right thing, how well are they going to…

PositiveMoving our parents into assisted living was a tough decision. Prestige Southern Hills has done a great job of welcoming them and treating them like family. They are always happy to help when needed, but also allow for independence whenever possible.
Response from the communityChris, Thank you for such a generous review! What an honor to care for your parents. This year was not the easiest to make a move with some of our ongoing construction projects- but we are eager to take their experience next level as these projects wrap up. Thank you for entrusting them to our care, and for taking the time to share your experience. If there's ever something we can do to improve- please don't hesitate to reach out to our Executive Director. We are committed to their continued flourishing.

CriticalThe food and coffee was always served cold. Family was told the medications of member would be used before bubble meds where ordered. They did not use more than 2 doses before ordering bubble packs which cost the family an additional [ fee removed] vs using up the 3 months supply of meds. My grandma was only there 2.5 weeks before she recovered enough to come home. I asked staff why meds where ordered before using even a week's worth they had no answer. Also my grandma always had to ask for her meds they serve tha…
Response from the communityThank you for taking the time to leave us a review! While we too are disappointed by your experience, we are committed to improving where we can! You will be glad to know that we have made some changes to ensure that both our food and coffee are being served fresh and hot. In addition to this, we are investigating the reason your grandmother may have been told she can only receive her medications in the dining room, as this is not our policy. We are sorry to hear about her experience and have taken this review very seriously. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you have additional concerns, we would welcome you to bring them to the attention of our Executive Director so that we can continue to improve. Be well!
