Staff was very kind and I was excited about the activities. The apartment was perfect for her. She changed her mind and we never took the keys. We are frustrated, but trying to meet mom where she’s at.

Spend time. Ask questions. Observe with your heart

They need to improve in communication. I have met with ex dir on this issue. As well as head of nursing... they are a little better but need vast improvement. They did not have introductory meeting with staff when I placed husband; they do not have regular individual meetings between family and staff. They have significant turnover. They do not give me the results of an investigation when an "incident " has happened The aides work hard. But in memory care where needs are higher the ratio of aide to resident is no

Our experience at Spring Hills

The staff is very friendly and approachable. I feel I can them with questions and any issues. Also, by having an executive director in place in the past several months, it's been much better in terms of communication and having someone in charge to communicate our concerns. As far as the food goes - They could give more nutritious snacks and less sweet treats.

Our Experience

I would recommend for Alzheimer's, but they are not trained/staffed highly enough for high functioning dementia.
