Phoenix Senior Living

When choosing a memory care location for my father I depended on reviews and was persuaded by them and the friendliness of the sales and front office staff. However, our experience once we moved in was a nightmare. We moved our father after two weeks and have photos of the drastic decline he had in two weeks there with falls he had not had before, medication errors, poor communication, unnecessary ER trips, lack of programming, etc. It it a beautiful place with large rooms, and some nice staff; however, with the large number of outside staff there is a lack of communication between shifts that damages care. We moved him to Vitality at Milton which offered much more personalized care, effective med control, and much better communication. I just wish I could have avoided the awful two weeks my father had and hope to spare another family.

Appearances can be deceiving. Don’t be deceived. Unclean residents, poor nutrition, your loved one’s clothing being worn by other residents, unclean rooms and especially bathrooms,, little assistance with feeding, soiled bedding left to be handled by family, horrible communication, no empathy, empty promises, high turnover at all levels, horrible resident-to-staff ratio. I could go on. My experience with a parent there was horrible and traumatizing. The lack of transparency and basic decency towards your fellow human is hard to grasp. Please keep your loved one at home as long as possible before putting them in any assisted living facility. My heart broke every time I visited seeing how my parent was treated.

Memory care manager is rude and sarcastic. Everytime I come to the facility I hear her talking about someone every day to other employees. She is rude to employees and family members, this is probably why they can’t keep staff. The managers up front seem to allow bare minimum behavior from workers, when you walk into the facility everyone is on their phones, just sitting. While family members are drenched in urine and waste. You voice complaints and they are never addressed. The meals are nothing for the amount you pay to keep your family here. The carpets are disgusting and smell of urine and waste. The house keepers don’t clean anything. Never toilet paper and paper towels I just wouldn’t recommend.

I have moved my father into his third assisted living and this facility was the absolute worst facility I have had the unpleasant opportunity to deal with. The food is disgusting and difficult to identify. We had to pay a large facility fee; however, there was no heat in my fathers apartment for around 10 days. I had to personally provide a adequate heater. The door lock did not work for 5 months. The management staff is allowed to be deceitful and will not keep you informed about your family member. When I addressed issues with management I was treated with hostility and unprofessionalism. I finally had the opportunity to meet with two directors and a corporate employee who was rude and crass. I was told i was not allowed to discuss “the past” which was 5-7 weeks later due to a death. I would truly not waste my time with this facility. Expensive and unprofessional.

Please notice that all the good reviews of this place were given over 5 years ago when it was owned by a different group. Since then it has gone downhill drastically. We put my mother in Phoenix and she stayed for only one year. They did not take care of her and the staffing was if not illegal it was definitely complete negligence. There were times when we went looking for a staff member and the only person we could find in the building was on the front desk. Often my mother who needed assistance was not put to bed and sometimes not not taken down for meals. After a constant complaining we finally decided for my mother's safety sake to move her to a different place. Don't be fooled by the good looks of the facility and the people who greet you when you come in. They are not the ones who do the care and the ones who do won't be there long because of the constant turn over.

My mom has to have meals delivered due to health issues breakfast comes at 10::00-10:30 lunch maybe by 2:00 recently they served her a piece of pie no bigger than my thumb shameful

My bad experiences with this place compound with each visit with my mom. I would keep looking. The front desk staff is very nice and accommodating. One person in the dining room seems to be the only person in the whole facility that actually cares about the residents and runs herself ragged serving them. If it was up to me my mom would be out of here in a New York minute. It is almost to the point that I don’t want to even visit her here.

We would move if there was another facility in our area-terrible food, sub par care, and not enough help.

'The untrained and disinterested staff will not even wear the name tags they were supplied with. There is staff supervision only part-time Monday-Friday. No meaningful night supervision from attendants asleep at the nursing stations. I witnessed a naked man with dementia lying on a hall floor for hours. Medication supposedly delivered by med techs, but often skipped - especially at night. Strangely enough the food is often adequate and of good quality. No regular nursing or nurse- practitioner visits.

The ED does not return calls or emails. The memory care "manager" is very rude and certainly does not care about the residents needs. My mom is always soiled and her nails are filthy. You can never find an employee when you need one. if you can find someone they are always on their phones. I am currently waiting for a memory care bed to become available at another facility then will be moving her asap.

the office staff that used to be there were great.New people took over and they treated my mom like a nobody. The cna's are lacking , meaning there needs to be more. Never have i had such an experience at such a beautiful place. Awful.

New name is here but I'm not sure if their strategy to bring the establishment back is consistent with what used to make them great. We are well aware of the reasons for the name change without being told. This major reason in itself tells us that they have an obligation to addrress the staff shortage first and foremost. We are taking into consideration the "great resignation" we have witnessed in 2020 to present. We have to visit daily to fill in the gap (the law says there must be XX caregivers per resident). Great that they are upgrading electronic equipment, tv's, furniture, paint, flooring. However, there is a shortage. Stop focusing on electronic sign-in platforms and VET and hire. Pay shift differentials instead of trying to appease by making them lazier. We will be demanding an updated timeline of their strategy to turn this place around.

This facility is clean and nice.Just the workers are mean to the residence. They talk to them any kinda way. They just there for the money. They need to get away with the old workers and start fresh. it should be a way you dress and how your hair should look. Front Desk person need to look more professional and learn how to talk to people that enter the building.

The Pearl was not a good fit for my mother's memory care needs.

They do not want to take the time to care for the residents. The more needs a resident has the more they ignore them. If a complaint is made via phone, no one will ever call you back. Emails are unanswered as well. The ceilings in the rooms are falling down, all the showers are step in, the food is delivered cold to the room. dirty diapers are left laying in the bathroom. There is never anyone in the assisted living to answer the door which is left unlocked all the time. A person can walk in and out without meeting anyone on staff anywhere almost any time of day. They are extremely understaffed and the staff that is there just doesn't care. If you complain it is always the residents fault. Don't even bother to visit, there are too many improvements to be made to be worth your time.

Staff is just doesn't care. Told me my mother in law could be helped and needed nursing care at [fee removed] a month. Moved her to a different place. She is already standing on her own. Food is just bad. Rouches everywhere. Cleaning staff does the least possible work.

If a patient can’t walk they should not be sent to this facility They are definitely understaffed n my husband became extremely depressed at The Manor. A lot of personal things n care he didn’t get and was not safe there One week he fell everyday out of his bed and wheelchair and I say no More about care We brought him Home totally depressed and today he is doing wonderful away from there He did a complete turnabout once he left there. I didn’t expect instant care but times a. Hour laid wet till he tried to get out of bed himself n would fall. A lot I can’t get into but if your loved one can’t walk go thur your insurance and get help at home I no am now very distasteful to their care. Please don’t put your loved ones that can’t walk into the hands that just don’t take personal care

Extremely poor customer service and bedside manners from the night shift staff in the second building at the Sandy Springs location. It’s as if they were hoping patients transitioned; no one expressed compassion or professionalism. Less than desirable verbiage was used in front of families and the comfort care sitters. Management may need to consider an employee evaluation practice or a method that’ll ensure hired and paid employees are at minimum, fulfilling each duty of the position applied for.

•Residents are treated as though they do not matter. •Residents are quarantined to their rooms for their”safety and well being during Covid outbreaks, while NOONE checks on them or considers their mental health status •Staff is obviously bringing in Covid to residents, as residents aren’t permitted to leave or to have visitors, yet are still testing positive for Covid •Inaccurate testing for Covid, as our mother tested “negative” for Covid at this facility, but when admitted to hospital for dehydration, confusion and illness, she tested positive for Covid. •Staff informed us when we picked up our mothers belongings that they had been placing noted of “concern” regarding our mothers condition in their reports, but NOONE cared enough to check on our Mom, and NOONE contacted us. • Beware of this “luxury” location.

I had a camera in my dad’s room & I had to regularly discuss with them the lack of care. It would get better for a week & then they’d ignore him again. My dad needed a lift & they were the only place within a 50mi radius, that would take him. Otherwise I would’ve removed him. Less than 3 mo into covid lock out he lost 30+ lbs because he wasn’t eating yet they didn’t tell us. We repeatedly asked how he was eating & they told us he was fine. I could tell on camera he’d lost weight but couldn’t tell how bad until we finally got in. They finally let us in 25 hrs before my father died. My father was there for TWO YEARS & when he was dying & gasping for breath the director couldn’t even be bothered to come check on my elderly mother that was bedside to her husband of 55 years. They only give even 1/2 a crap when your $$$ is rolling in, as soon as they realize the gravy train is ending they treat you like garbage. If you have any other options then avoid this place!!
