Prema Senior Living

The review is for the assisted living facility only. I have heard good things about the memory care side which I think is the only reason this facility is still limping along and barely operating on the assisted living side. In two years: 4 Executive Directors, 3 Sales Managers, 3 Activity Directors, 3 cooks. Exceptional care staff and med techs are thankfully able to provide care in spite of management incompetence. Communication with residents and families is limited to email. Concerns are never addressed, resolved, or improved. Food is terrible. Morale is at an all time low among residents. Many have left with more leaving. Management only interested in offering excuses if you can management to speak to you at all. Lots of liability issues being covered up and ignored. Every facility in the area is short staffed and has the same issues but other facilities seem to have management in place to communicate and address the issues and work to resolve problems.

My Dad was a resident at The Oaks at Suwanee Creek for a few weeks. I cannot recommend this facility. My dad had a serious fall which the nurse in charge of memory care and staff failed to properly care for or report to our family. The result was that Dad sat at The Oaks at Suwanee Creek with a broken hip and in tremendous pain for over 48 hours. During those 48 plus hours, my brother and I tried to get answers about Dad's change in condition. No one at The Oaks told us of the fall or gave us any other information of use. It was not until I made the decision to get my dad to the hospital that I finally got answers. We were quickly told that dad had a serious hip fracture. Some time later, the director of The Oaks called me to say, "your dad did have a fall and the nurse says she "forgot" to call you". My dad suffered needlessly for over 2 days because someone "forgot". This failure in communication and lack of attention to my dad's obvious signs of pain were inexcusable.
