Parts of this community are progressive and positive. Independent and Assisted Living areas are well recommended. However, my mother went there for rehab. She was placed in the skilled nursing unit where she was behind locked doors. At that point she was basically helpless, unable to move her arms and legs without help. She was only there from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, when she was taken into the hospital following an extremely traumatic event that happened to her in the skilled nursing area. We were not able to document what happened, although I did witness part of it, so there was no way to pursue action against Armour Oaks other than to file a complaint with the state. As the state investigator said, "There is no 'smoking gun'." They simply recorded what I had seen, but were unable to talk to my mother due to her trauma. The state interviewed the staff, but because those who knew what happened and might tell what they knew, also knew that doing so would probably cost them their jobs. Technically, Armour Oaks skilled nursing was not in violation of regulations, so they were not cited. However, because they were not technically cited, they were able to continue on as if nothing had happened. Be advised. I was there with my mother for most of the time she was there. I feel sorry for people dumped there for months with no advocate. If this happened on my watch, it can happen with your lived one, too.<br><br>Edit: My mother now lives with me and just celebrated her 100th birthday. It took months of counseling along with medication before her panic attacks stopped. It has only been within the last year that she started talking about what happened. She has been able to describe the man and what he did to her. To hear her describe the details of what that man did to her made my heart break. I was not contacted for a follow-up by anyone other than the individual from the state office that oversees licensing. He agreed with me as to why nobody on staff would say anything. Everyday I thank my lucky stars that she did not have to endure any more than what she did. But I was the one who sat with her night after night when she awoke in a panic and having trouble breathing as the memories came rushing back. She can now tell me in pretty good detail what actually happened and what the man looked like, and it was far from appropriate.

Armour Oaks is a lovely place to live. I have met so many new friends and engaged in activities that I have loved. We play games and have picnics. The staff here are wonderful. I have enjoyed getting to know them. They help me with any questions and keep the buildings and grounds beautiful. I am very happy that I chose Armour Oaks. I feel safe and peaceful here.

I strongly urge to not bring your loved one here. My grandmother was here for only 4 months before she passed away due to the neglect of this place. My grandmother died due to a fall that could have been totally avoided had she been properly taken care of. She was found by the sink in her room, which is weird because she couldn’t walk and was supposedly left in her bed before she fell. This has left our family with so many unanswered questions. My father was resident here for seven months and within those he had repeated UTIs due to poor peri care. Eventually one of those UTIs led to sepsis and had he not gone to the ER my father could have potentially died as well. Please reconsider if you are thinking about placing your love one here 🙏🏾 my grandmother’s death could have been avoided and my father should have received better care!💗

My grandmother was a resident at Armor Oak Senior Living Center for less than six months before she passed away. Choosing this facility is one of the worst decisions our family ever made. What she experienced there was neglect, fear, and conditions no elderly person should ever have to endure. From the beginning, my grandmother was afraid of the staff. When she would tell us she needed something and we said we would speak to a nurse, she would beg us not to because she feared retaliation when we weren’t around. We asked the nurses about this, and of course it was denied, but her fear never went away. That alone should have been a warning sign. One day we walked in to find my grandmother barely hanging on in her bed. She was slumped to the side, clearly uncomfortable and struggling, with a cord laid across her chest and neck area. She looked terrified and helpless. Outside her door were several nurses standing around gossiping while she was inside in that condition. When we confronted them and asked what happened, no one could give us a clear answer. They tried to claim she had positioned herself that way, but my grandmother could barely move on her own. We know she did not put herself in that position. That same day, later that night, we received a call that she had fallen. About a week after that fall, my grandmother was gone. She shattered her hip, and everything declined from there. The story we were told made no sense. The nurses said she got out of bed to get a snack and fell. My grandmother could not walk. She could not get herself out of bed. We will never believe that explanation. She had no bed railings, even though she was immobile and unable to protect herself from falling. There were exposed wires hanging out of the wall next to her bed that we reported. We were told someone would “come look at it,” but nothing was done. The facility was filthy—dirty walls, dirty doors, unclean furniture. This is not an environment for vulnerable seniors. There were many times she told us she needed to use the bathroom and staff wouldn’t come. She would be left for 45 minutes or more after asking for help and ended up soiling herself because no one responded. There were days she said she didn’t eat because they forgot to feed her. Imagine being elderly, unable to move, completely dependent on others, and being treated like that. My grandmother even told us once, in her own words, that she felt like “they are trying to kill me.” We asked about putting cameras in her room because of the fear and neglect, and we were told it would be allowed. The very morning we had that conversation was the same day we found her in that terrifying position in her bed. Hours later she fell, was rushed to the emergency room, and never returned to that facility. Three months later, we are left without answers and carrying the guilt of leaving her in a place where she was afraid to be. I truly believe her time at Armor Oak led to a rapid decline in her mental and physical health and ultimately to her passing. No family should have to wonder what really happened to their loved one. We are letting our attorneys handle the legal side, but as a granddaughter I feel obligated to warn others. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Even if this were the last option on earth, please think twice before trusting Armor Oak Senior Living Center with someone you love. My Maw-Maw should still be alive today. 💔
