Villa Marie was once a wonderful place. Residents were treated with care and compassion. Maureen and Mike who worked there truly cared about the people living in the facility. Management and COVID however changed everything.<br><br>No individual should feel like a prisoner in their own home and no one should be threatened with being written up and kicked out!<br><br>My mother in law lived here for over almost 3 years. I moved her out and I would never recommend anyone placing a family member there ever.<br><br>Management wants to lock the residents in, throw away the key and pop in for a body count now and then. They have no interest in providing any kind of emotional/mental stimulation nor feel any obligation to enhance what could be the last years of theses seniors lives.<br><br>The food at Villa Marie is mostly carbs and other prepackaged items. They will say “you get what you play for” but the reality is there are comparable places whose staff care, whose food is nutritious and manage to engage residents while keeping them safe from COVID.<br><br>Additionally, the area were Villa Marie is located looses electricity all the time. There is a generator but it’s for the kitchen and hallways not the residents rooms. So if you have any medical devices that require internet or electricity you are out of luck. It has happened quite a bit so be ready.<br><br>Bottom line do yourself a favor and save your loved ones the misery and run as far from this place as possible.
