So far so good and scroll down for the updates. My grandmother just moved in and seems much happier than the previous place. She says it’s cleaner and newer than the last place.<br><br>Update: It’s a year later. In recent months the whole family has had some trouble getting staff to let us speak with Grandma. Since no one can visit it’s even more important for her health to stay connected with family. They keep saying she sleeps most of the day. Will update when this improves.<br><br>Update: Had quite a lot of trouble getting cooperation from staff letting me and my mother speak or FaceTime with my Grandma for the last 4 months of her life 😡and so did other family members. Some staff were amazing and some did not find it important for a family oriented woman to speak with her own family. I’ll never forget how upsetting it was the time I drove 10 hours and arrived in town several hours early (noon) asking to see her earlier (3pm) in the day and was told not until 5pm. When I arrived at 5pm she was already asleep for the night and possibly was up since 4am. I cried so hard. That was cruel. Another time recently my mother was in tears because staff would not let her speak with her for several weeks. Another time for 3 days in a row my FaceTime appointments were no shows. I finally got a FT weeks later. They blame Covid? For flaking on FaceTime; not clarifying if I should send another FT device? My Grandma passed away earlier this week. I was denied quite a lot of attempted interaction with her. 😡 😤😭😢 2 stars
