I have hesitated to post a review, but I feel that I owe it to families looking to place their loved one here. My mom was in the MC unit for almost 3 years , starting during COVID in July of 2020. I have multiple issues and stories to tell, but I will try to keep it short and succinct. To sum it up, the MC unit is very crowded and in need of updating. The residents are squished into a very small living room area that only really has enough room for about 8 max to be comfortable, and 8 is a stretch! The aide staff while Mom was there was very caring, and I was comfortable with her being there. However, they had a hard time doing their jobs because they were not supported by management and no care plan was ever given. Also, when I did have any concerns, management became defensive and unresponsive. My mother fell last June and had to go to the hospital with a brain bleed, and no one from SB mgt bothered to call and check on her or give us any guidance on what next steps to take. When we finally got back to SB, Mom declined rather rapidly and began having seizures, with the last one resulting in a fall and gash to her head. 2 days later I was informed by the MC manager that my mother needed to be moved to a nursing home, that she had exceeded their care level, which I completely understand, but Patty Dixon didnt have the balls to tell me that to my face, nor did the new nurse manager come and explain it to me or assist me and explain options. They also didnt bother, once Mom was moved to Azalealand, to ever call and check to see how she was, not that I expected them to. But to me, its common courtesy when you have a residential facility that you care so much about your residents, that you would want to follow up on them. All that being said, them kicking her out was actually a blessing because I no longer have to deal with the deceitful, underhanded, negative drama that surrounded the last three years, and I now have my mother in a fabulous nursing home in MO. The difference is night and day!! I cant even tell you how clean the new place is (SB not so much!), which I complained about but nothing was ever done. Also, the new facility has wonderful activities, and they are literally engaging with the residents, taking them to the activities, treating them like older moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas should be treated! Also, I have learned since Mom was kicked out that they have fired most all of the staff that cared for her. In summation, if you are looking to place a loved one into a MC facility, I suggest you look around!!
