I cannot shout loudly enough from the rooftops: keep your loved ones OUT of this dreaded place, especially if they are unable to advocate for themselves. My father was admitted about 2.5 weeks ago to recover after an acute issue landed him in the hospital, and then died there this weekend, presumably of a separate problem that developed while in their "care." (Very scant notes that include errors make it hard to know exactly what happened). While there are many nice individuals who work at Care One, it was massively disorganized and clear that if we family members did not actively push for even basic things -- like making sure the belongings of the previous resident were removed from his room, that piles of linens were removed from the floor, that he was wearing his own clothes (which they lost for over a week upon arrival), that he washed up and was taken outside even when no visitors were present-- they likely would not occur. I am shocked that this place was recommended to us, both via online ratings and by the care coordinators at an otherwise excellent hospital, both because it is grossly inaccurate and suggests how terrible other facilities are. In short: stay far, far away from CareOne. If someone had been this clear with me before, perhaps I would not be writing my father's obituary today.
