Roseleaf Gardens Senior Living and Memory Care

Buyer Beware! DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE HERE! First of all, do not let the owners know if you have LTHC insurance or any other insurance to help pay for the cost of the room and board and care at this facility. If you love your family that has dementia, DO NOT PUT THEM HERE. There are other places that really take care of their dementia residents. Look on the State Licensing Board website and review the complaints against the facility that you are considering. I wish someone would have alerted me before I moved my beloved husband into this horrible, mismanaged, neglectful facility. My husband has dementia, but even he realized in his state that this facility did not have the resources adequately available. His medication was (I would say … legally) mismanaged…the med techs gave him overdosed psychoactive medication that put him in a stupor and drooling on his clothing. Even after his physician put in a physician’s orders to lower the doses, that was ignored by the facility Med Tech’s and he was continually drug overdosed until I became aware of what was happening. Chemical restraints are ILLEGIAL! Per the State. His basic care was neglected. He lost 30 lbs, wasn’t eating (I believe he wasn’t eating because he was drugged and didn’t understand if he was hungry)…we asked that there be a one-on-one assistances with eating and that we would pay for it, but none was given. Once he was put on those strong psychoactive meds, he became incontinent, eliminating in inappropriate places, and the facility caregivers blamed him. Why would you blame a person who has dementia?? No toiletry assistance was offered him….and they blamed him for not wanting help….he has dementia! The care givers should have compassion and needed to be trained how to provide assistance and dignity to a dementia patient. I would go to visit him, and during the 7 hours I was with him, not one care giver came in to ask him if he needed to use the bathroom, or was thirsty or to come to the dining area for lunch or dinner even after I asked the Care Coordinator to remind the caregivers to assist him even when I was visiting. They said he didn’t want to go to the dining area, but when I asked him or took him to the dining area, no problem. The cook tried her best, probably based on her meal plan. The food was awful, uneatable…so he didn’t eat. I would bring a sandwich from the local bread shop that he would devour. He wasn’t showered until I came to visit and then I would shower and wash his hair. They said he refused a shower when asked……the caregivers should be trained to get around that….these are dementia human beings and should be treated with humane dignity. I have seen the other residents there looking like they were in a daze (stupor) feeling so sorry for them. I could go on…but Please, Please, if you love your family that has dementia, DO NOT PUT THEM HERE. There are other places that really take care of their dementia residents. Look on the State Licensing Board website and review the complaints against the facility that you are considering. I wish someone would have alerted me before I moved my beloved husband into this horrible, mismanaged, neglectful facility. I didn’t even talk about the neglect he experienced. That would be another 3 pages. Go somewhere else..please if you care about your person.
