This isn't really 1 STAR, I didn't have the ability to choose negative STARS. ⭐ My mother was admitted to Springhill Village for rehabilitation after spending a couple of weeks in Union Hospital following a scary collapse. She is in the early stages of dementia. What our family experienced when we tried to extend her stay is why I'm writing this review. When my sister called to discuss an extension, I was listening on the call. The staff didn't know I was there, which means I heard the conversation exactly as any family would receive it. The tone was cold from the start. We were told there were no private pay rooms available, not a single room, not a shared room, nothing, EXCEPT their high dollar suites (where they love it most, being paid by the insurance companies) at over $600 a night. Six hundred dollars a night. In Terre Haute, Indiana. Not Miami, not Los Angeles, not New York City. Terre Haute. But the rate isn't why I'm writing this review. I'm writing it because of what I heard next. With our family worried about a safe transition for a dementia patient fresh off a hospital stay, my sister heading out of town, and me living in South Florida, the question that came back across that phone was: "What is your mom's financial situation?" Not "what does your mom need." Not "how can we help with the transition." Her financial situation. When my sister informed them we would move our mother out if they couldn't find availability at a reasonable rate, we heard nothing back. Silence, right up until the new facility arrived to pick her up, at which point Springhill claimed they "weren't ready." They had every opportunity to communicate and chose not to, then put the inconvenience on a dementia patient's moving day. I've spent decades in corporate America. I understand completely that businesses must be profitable. But when profit is clearly the ONLY thing that matters in a conversation about an elderly woman's care, fresh from a hospital bed, that's not business. That's not care. That's greed. Reading the other recent reviews here, our experience appears to be a pattern, not an exception. Maybe the pressure comes from somewhere above the local staff. Regardless, families deserve to know: ask the hard questions about extensions, rates, and discharge coordination BEFORE you admit your loved one. Listen carefully to how they answer. The answer tells you everything.
