Gateway Vista

My father was a resident in their "skilled facility" for a week. While there he received less than stellar care. My father was in a great deal of pain, and most of the medication nurses were either slow to get him pain pills, and 1 staff even admitted to withholding the pain pill for fear my father may fall. My father has stage 4 cancer and is in unbearable pain.... pain management should be the first priority! Likewise, while their rehab services seemed to be good, my father needed care for daily living activities such as toileting, showering, etc. and he did not receive those. He was rarely checked on unless he used his call button (which he is too stubborn to do). Personally, I would not entrust this facility to the care of any member of my family or friends for that matter.

There is nothing about Gateway that I don't like. It's in the heart of the city. There are all kinds of grocery stores all around. It's close to Gateway Shopping Center, there is Cheddars, there is Subway, and there are banks all around. There are TULO crate unions a block from it. They're in a really good central location and they've been there for several years. People do your clothing for you. They come and take your garbage out. They come and do tons of things. All of that is part of the $3,000 a month. It's just too expensive for me.
