Surpass Senior Living

Management and ownership are strictly in it for the money, not your health and well-being. Research this facility carefully, prospective residents and families.

Do not put your loved one in this facility!! My mom and dad were residents of the memory care for 1.5 years and I loved it when they moved in. But, when all of the top managers were fired or quit all at the same time, the care, compassion and communication ended! In the past 2 months, there's been rotating people from corporate (Surpass) and I've done nothing but complain in person, through emails and phone calls to corporate. Finally a month ago, I was called into the office for a meeting with multiple managers and nurses and told "obviously we are not meeting your needs so you should find another facility for your parents." I gladly looked at numerous other memory care facilities and just moved them out...and took their $7,000 per month rent with them. When the nurse at the new facility compared the med records from Heritage and their doctors orders, we found out that both of my parent's meds were all messed up. They were giving meds that the doctor had discontinued and they were not giving meds that were on the doctor's orders! There was usually only 3 caregivers for 30 memory care residents, and one of those was in the med room with the door shut. (and I was told numerous times that this is enough and is "the norm") This left 2 caregivers for 30 people with significant mental and physical deficits. The activities they used to do had pretty much ended and my parents were just placed in front of the tv all day. On numerous occasions, I went to visit during meal times and no one was helping my mom eat so she was sitting alone with a full plate of food - and she is diabetic! One day I went and my dad didn't have any other pants besides the ones he was wearing. Their laundry was constantly put up after being washed and not completely dried, so it would mildew. They would not give out their cell phone numbers or a way to contact people when family members had problems at night or on the weekends. Check out their deficiencies on the state website from Texas Health and Human Services for Long Term Care Providers.

My 96 year old mother stayed here less than 1 week and feared for her safety. She was unable to stand my herself and needed help to transfer from one place to another. She said the staff was rough and "threw me around like a rage doll." We had to move her immediately. Another huge problem was that her call button never worked the 6 days she was there so she just had to wait until someone "checked" on her, which was about every 6 hours. Not nearly enough when you cannot go to the bathroom without assistance. Due to these circumstances, we could not give the required 30 days written notice to leave, so they did not refund any of our deposit or rent - we lost about $5,000. Very unfair.

My mother and father both went here early 2016 one on the assisted living side and the other on the memory care side. This was the nightmare of our life. They do not give meds correctly they do not even know what they are giving if you ask the person administering the meds as she is not a nurse, they left my dad laying on the floor as the caretaker said he's just going to fall again why pick him up. They do not have enough qualified staff its like a bunch of high school kids that do not know what they are doing. The worst thing that happened was they gave my dad my moms meds. and my mom my dads meds my mom got very sick and they never could give us any explanation except they fired the care taker and tried to blame the pharmacy not true by the way. This place is a joke managed by a large company who just wants your money they are a horror story do not take you family members here!!!

Horrible place to put your parent if you truly love them. The staff is always complaining that management doesn't care about them. They had a bed bug outbreak in over ten rooms they tried to hide from us. [removed] The owner seems to put lots of money in the building than providing more activities for their memory care residents. Not a good place to put a love one looks can be deceiving

They did not work out for us at all. It was an awful experience. There was no actual abuse, but there was lack of ability, lack of staff, lack of caring, lack of quality. I don't know if I could say enough bad things about it. We got our loved one out of there as fast as we could. He was found on the floor with no one around him. Most of the staff were Jamaican, and because of their accent, we couldn't' t understand what they were saying to us. I don't care for the administrator either. She was pompous and arrogant. And apparently she didn't even know what was happening in her own facility.

My mother suffered from cruelty and abuse during the nine months she lived at Villagio of Carrollton. Her room was infested with biting bugs and she was being eaten alive, but they insisted she was a "carrier" and somehow producing these bugs in her own skin. Ridiculous! When I refused a very poisonous skin treatment (which she did not need), they quarantined her in her bug-infested room for 5 days with NO TREATMENT of any kind, not even anything to soothe her burning, itchy skin. They even took away the aloe vera gel I brought her, so she took cold soda cans from her mini-fridge to soothe her irritated skin. Outrageous! Dermatologist confirmed that bites were from bugs in her environment, but Villagio didn't have the ability to find them. They kept treating for bedbugs, even though doctor and exterminator confirmed there were no bedbugs. After two months of this, my poor mother being quarantined and labeled "contagious" (which doctor confirmed she was NOT), I removed her from the facility. The mental abuse from being isolated and told she was to blame for the bug bites was horrific. The Executive Director, [name removed], should be removed from her position. Her cruelty and uncaring attitude are reprehensible. The Head Nurse, [name removed], actually tried to convince me that steroid cream was like antibiotics and had to be used for a full cycle of a certain number of days, which is the opposite of true. She wanted to keep putting steroid cream on my mother's healthy skin for three more weeks. Crazy! When I reached out to the corporate office, Cappella Living Solutions, for help, their Regional Director of Operations, [name removed], proved himself to be just as obtuse as [name removed] and [name removed], supporting their cruel and ridiculous antics. If you want a caring environment for your loved one where the leadership is smart enough to exterminate bugs and administer medication properly, DO NOT put anyone you know in Villagio of Carrollton or any Cappella Living Solutions property. Other than that, the staff themselves were very kind to my sweet mother. Unfortunately, the diet is pure sugar and carbohydrates. My mother gained about a pound a week--25 pounds in six months--living at Villagio of Carrollton. Dessert after both lunch and dinner, sugary snacks in the morning and afternoon, and too many carbohydrates in general is not a good diet for anyone, much less a senior adult. This facility does not know how to provide a healthy environment for a senior. Period.

Thank goodness Heritage Twin Creeks is close to Presbyterian Hospital since many residents end up there (especially from Memory Care) due to the lack of attention, callousness, and carelessness. Falls, injuries--even residents who wander away unnoticed seem to be the norm at this facility. This is not a place for your Mom or anyone needing attention and care.

All interesting reviews, but they fail to point out that the Surpass corporate management are far more concerned about their wallets than ensuring consistent, quality care for your loved ones. If you plan to tour this place, take time to speak with current residents and their families, check out the pitiful laundry facilities, ask to see some of the apartments that are sub-par--check out the carpet in 128 which has not been replaced for a year - but promised many times And you certainly want to review the Heritage Twin Creeks dismal investigation record with the State of Texas: a real "eye-opener"!

[Removed] does as little as possible to see that Heritage Twin Creeks residents live happy and healthy lives. Too few caregivers - - who are most often expected to work double shifts. Erratic food service and quality. Few washers and dryers that work. But you can count on many, many promises, ie., lots of talk and no action.

BEWARE!!! This is the worst memory care facility! The staff are not caring and were very rough with my dad. They do not pay attention to the residence. On more than one occasion I personally had to go find a staff member to help residence in the common area. My dad fell over 40 times in one month due to lack of supervision. We ended up moving him to a different memory care facility where he did not fall one time in 30 days.

Very unhappy with this place it's not a place to put your love ones at after calling nurse at the ivy to discuss about medications for a My mother she sounds so rude and sounded like she didn't want to bother with what I had to say after trying to discuss a change in medications . The nurse that is at this place has no clue about anything .. It's different medication people every time you turn around why ? I'm not happy I will be looking to put my mother somewhere else . Get a nurse in this place that knows more than what she knows forgot to mention her name is [name removed]. Never returns your call even after you leave meassages on her voice mail you be lucky if she answers when you call her .. Not well educated enough said !!!

If I could give these [removed] less than one star I would. Any favorable review you read about Villagio is clearly written by a Villagio staff member. I have a parent who has been a resident of Villagio for more than 5 years. The care at Villagio is minimal at best, [removed] at worst. Hmm, I was never advised of a bed bug outbreak. There is NO engagement for Memory Care residents. Your parent will be placed in front of the boob tube for 24/7. The staff is incapable of resident engagement. A previous review mentions an RN on staff. There has not been an RN on staff in the 5 plus years my parent has been a resident. The staff changes frequently at this facility. They routinely lose medications and will ask you to bring more. Then after you have bought medication out of pocket since your insurance company has already paid for medication, the missing med will miraculously be found. The staff is too inept to keep up with your parent's clothing, linens, etc in spite of the fact that your parent;s name is written in sharpie on EVERYTHING, Save yourself the agony and don't place your parent here unless you enjoy paying for services you don't get. Villagio of Carrollton is no more than overpriced baby sitting. Your parent will be fed the starchiest of foods. They claim they have the Cafe' Fresco. This is a code term for they will open a new can of slop. Villagio's idea of a vegetable is something out of a can, and most likely some sort of brown bean. On that rare occasion when Villagio acquires a caring, intelligent staff member, don't count on them sticking around for long. And why would they, they aren't well treated by management nor adequately compensated so they move on. [removed] NOTE: RN added to staff after review was written
