My wife was admitted earlier this afternoon around 6pm. Everything was going well until it was time for my wife to receive her 9pm medications. My wife’s nurse, Christy, told me that she would not DISPENSE my wife’s medications because she didn’t not have ORDERS or something in writing from a Doctor or someone higher up giving her permission to administer the meds. By the way, Christy was very aggressive in her stance against not giving out the medications. Two other nurses that were in the room overheard Christy telling me what she couldn’t do and what she couldn’t do because, as she stated, “I am not going to lose my nursing license “ over giving meds to a person without any orders. I desperately tried to get in contact with my wife’s Hospice nurse to see if she could call the nursing facility and get this straightened out. She finally received some medical records from the local hospital which showed the medications that were prescribed to her for her Parkinson’s Disease. She told me that she would only give my wife the meds that were highlighted on that document. However, she would not allow herself to dispense a prescription called [detail removed]. The only thing she was generous with is letting me give my wife her meds which I did around 9pm: [detail removed], and [detail removed]. My question has to do with——CARE COOPERATION! Was Christy correct in denying my wife her Parkinson’s Disease medication or was she wrong in how she handled the matter. My wife’s nurse gave me some important information regarding this unfortunate incident. We’ll just have to see what she tells her supervisor. Please check your surveillance camera. It will show how displeased both of us were during this stressful situation.

Last month 6/2026 my father in law stayed here for 1 week. It was the greatest stay he had in any facility. This month he came back due to wounds on his backside, but this was after Avear had taken it over for about 3 weeks now and it was the worse ever. We did not see anyone we had seen just a month before. Everytime my wife and I had come to visit every nurse in the facility was setting at the front desk and there were lights on up and down the hall. My father in law only comes here when needed, but he will not be back. There call lights are strings coming out of the wall all there furniture is falling apart the beds are all hand crank and they will move the strings away from the patient so they can not reach them. I am not sure if these are all traveling nurses, but they are all useless! Please I beg you if you care about your love ones do not let them stay here. It’s not like it used to be!!

Do not send your parents/ any loved ones here!!!!! If I could rate it 0 I would. My mother went here strictly for rehab after a long hospital stay. Within 1 day of being here they took her off all her everyday meds including her heart meds and blood thinners. They called us telling us she had 2-3 days to live ( after 1 day of being there!!!) I went right up there and got my mother out. I hope everyone reads these reviews before sending a loved one here.
