Milestone Retirement Communities

Family doesn't know what goes on when they are not there. I would find other people sleeping in her bed. They put everyone in the gathering room during the day. I think they are understaffed. I don't trust that nursing home. I would not even put another family member there. The place smelled bad too.

You would have to call.....too much to write about. So frustrating. I would move her if she would move. I can't believe you do not have the same director again. I don't even like talking to anyone there it seems like nothing gets done.

They had roaches. Food service had very long wait times, there was limited selection for meals, and the taste was poor. Limited care staff available. The meadow is a better choice for those who need no assistance. I do not recommend them to other needing care.

We needed to find my parent a memory care facility. We viewed different available rooms and the rest of the facility. We were impressed and decided right then and there to pursue it. The day after move in, was the first negative experience. Finding your parent, who is largely not ambulatory and incontinent lying in bed at noon, still in their pajamas that you dressed them in the night before, in a pool of their own urine is enough to make you angry. Next negative experience...walking in to see their food from the prior meal sitting uneaten, but with their mandatory and necessary medication "hidden" in the rice, will also make you angry. Third negative experience...arriving on day 3 and finding them lying in bed again...at lunchtime...again...only this time covered from head to toe in feces and the toilet covered in feces will AGAIN make you angry. The care is less than adequate for the $[removed] a month paid. Not pleased at all. Need more than 1000 characters to fully express my discontent.

The value for the money is okay. They could do a better job with checking on my loved one, and doing things. My loved one does not really care for the food, but has made friends. I would recommend to other families.

The staff seemed annoyed when I showed up for the tour that I had scheduled with them.

This community was just not what we were looking for for our loved one. They had individual rooms but it was really just a bed and t.v. and my loved one was just not ready for that level of care just yet.

I would not recommend this community to others. The communication was not good between the staff and the family. There was no communication at all. The food was not good at all. My loved one said the portion sizes were small, and the food tasted horrible.

Food is edible at best. A reasonable effort is made to provide residents with opportunities for exercise and socialization. Apartments are generally spacious and comfortable, though getting maintenance to address a noisy dishwasher or refrigerator can be an ordeal. Management is generally unresponsive or very slow in addressing residents' voiced concerns, even with regard to safety, security or sanitation Little or no effort is expended in keeping residents updated regarding practices or policies. What little information is provided is inconsistent, unclear, contradictory or unreliable. Long on promises, short on performance. Staff are well-meaning and generally courteous, but poorly trained. Situation is exacerbated by very high staff turnover. Several glaring instances of grossly unqualified and poorly-vetted staff hires have occurred within the 24 months I’ve been a resident at Bishop Place

It is hard for me to do this because I was not allowed in the facility. My mom was supposed to be in the memory care unit, they were charging me for her showers. She took 2 in the 4 months she was there but they charged me every single week. When we moved her out she was a mess and her room was nasty. Her clothes were not put away, they did not put the mattress we sent with her on the bed, she had 2 sets of sheets we sent with her and she was on the roughest sheets and they lost 1 of the sets that we sent her and never put the other on. They said they would reimburse me but they have not. They have something advertised on the door that they will let family in so that she would not decline. They never offered that to me even after I was complaining about it. She had prescriptions out in the open in her room and only 1 of 30 had been taken.

I would say go somewhere else. When we first contacted them the management was very friendly and helpful. Once my mom moved in all that went away. I have a hard time communicating with them. It is like they do not want to be bothered.

Per DSHS report, there are, in my opinion, egregious deficiencies identified with the administrator at the time saying, "s/he did not know..." Items such as allowing a non-licensed person to administer medications, etc. Although these items have been recently remedied (2020), with a significant staff change from nursing to administration, I am uncomfortable placing my parent here due to the nature of the findings, as well as, the short-term of the present staff. They seem like they are very nice and professional people but until there is some longer term stability, I am super uncomfortable with this place - back in 2017 when we were looking at this place for our other parent, there were significant issues identified by the family at that point.

when my Mother first moved into Renaissance, spring of 2017, it was clean and most staff took care of Mom and worked with family to make her stay comfortable. It changed for the worse and by early 2018 the room and building was always dirty, under staffed to give proper care. Each time we dropped by to check on Mom she was laying in her own waste with wet sheets. They said she didn’t feal like getting up so she missed meds and food and was given a liquid meal replacement. Some staff tried hard to care for so many in the memory building but a few were lazy. Management was deceiving and would always give me the same answer “ they were working to make things better”. We had no choice but to relocate Mother to another facility.

All of the reviews except for about 5 appear to come from one writer. How many times can you use the phrase “attended to” and “clean community!” The disparity of reviews is another red flag, if not a giveaway.

We are still working on some issues here at Willowood at Mustang. I would give the community a higher rating but they have not come through with replacing the carpet in my mom's studio apartment. They cleaned the carpet but the former resident was very incontinent and the room still smells like urine. They had said they were going to get her into a one bedroom and my mom is very unhappy about living in the smaller studio apartment. They provide activities for the residents but my mom does not need a walker or wheelchair so she feels they don't offer a lot for her level of activities. She does enjoy playing dominoes and going to the church services that they have there in the community. Other than my mom's room the rest of the environment in Willowood is clean and warmly decorated.

[Removed] was awesome, but the rooms were too small and narrow. We would say no to this home for now.

I am not very pleased with the tour I had of this community. There was a strong smell of feces in multiple areas of the memory care unit which really disturbed me. It made me wonder if staff are really making sure the hygiene of the residents is kept up and taken care of. I would not want my wife sitting in that smell or having an accident and it not being taken care of for a period of time.

This is the 2nd review I have written. Skyline from visual appearance is a beautiful place clean and friendly. However, very expensive. but more concerning I have some unresolved issues with them. First they have a [removed] problem with the staff. [removed]. this issue was reported to the administrator almost three months ago and there has been no resolution to the problem. Also my father had shortness of breath on the 17th of July he pushed his alert button several times no response. He started yelling for help and hour passed before the staff assisted him and he was transported to the hospital. This happen at 10;30 pm. When he was released from the hospital on the 24th the case worker called for transport back to skyline no transport was provided.

No kitchenettes. Receptionist did not seem to understand me when I asked questions.
