[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some facilities offer “respite care”, where the person can move in for 30 days and basically try out living in the facility.  Might that be an option?  I’m sorry, none of this is easy. [/quote]

This facility does not offer that option.  I wish I could feel better but here are the red flags I’ve encountered thus far:

*First visit I went to tour. Receptionist was very passive to me as she thought I was there to visit a resident.  Attitude totally changed when she learned I was going to tour.

*Had to follow up several times regarding next steps once I decided to admit Mom.

*Several confusing issues with their online portal.

*Slow follow through on call backs

*During home evaluation I was told Mom’s medicine was expired.  Assessor was reading the day the medication was issued.  I pointed out the expiration date on the bottle.  I do not have any type of medical background whatsoever.  How would someone evaluating people not know this information?[/quote]
