My mother was transferred here after hip surgery. My mother has dementia. She fell at this place in less than 12 hours of being admitted. She was admitted in the hospital after they finally decided to take her to the emergency room. She had fractured C2 in her neck, fracture in lower back and 2 broken ribs. I called and left a message for the director of nursing. They never called me back to this day. For a fall like that I’m sure it was pure neglect. Would not leave my worst enemy at this place.

I am currently staying here. It’s wonderful nursing care. Anything that you need, they follow through. I have a shared room. We have individual beds, and we have two bathrooms. It is very well kept and cleaned sometimes a couple of times a day or sometimes one time a day. The floor is scrubbed and swept every day. It’s usually the same thing for breakfast, but they change it sometimes. Food is never, never warm. They give you grits that are cold and your eggs are cold. Anything you get is cold.
They get you up and put you in a wheelchair. I exercise my leg and they do, too. They keep track of you. If you get out of line, they will tell you don’t go in certain areas. They have certain areas for people who are on vacation. There are restricted areas, and there’s somebody there to tell you that all the time. Each table in their dining area is decorated with flowers. They put your food out for you. They pick up everything after you. The dining area is clean.
I’ve been in quarantine for 14 days, so I’m limited to the place where I’m quarantined. You can’t go out, you have to wear a mask, and you wear certain clothing. They are on top of safety. I have a roommate that needs special attention and she walks around all the time and as far as keeping us safe, there is somebody that watches us all the time. If you get out of your space, they will let you know and put you right back in bed. Safety-wise, they are very good at watching you. They have everything that is needed to be organized and to be safe no matter what you do.

If you or a loved need a crap facility then this is the place to go. Outward appearances are amazing. It’s like “Hotel
California”. Meds were wrong, limited me on everything, meals that I didn’t eat or was saving were taken from me. Told shortage of washcloths, nurse denied receiving my Xanax rx until a friend was coming to attest to this. They want you as bedridden as possible to provide the least amount of service. Waited over an hour to be helped to bathroom and no help. Risked everything taking myself. Permission granted to enjoy the outside grounds and on day 4 a nurse told me no! The decision makers were above her pay grade. Housekeeping is never, ever when you need them the most but on their schedule. Sheets never changed and so much more. STAY AWAY regardless of what you hear. I know medical and I know they are zero stars. OT/PT were ok. And imagine leaving and not given the choice of which DME company I want to use. About 10 days before that DME showed up with a walker. Something and many things are not on the up and. Wouldn’t provide enough wash clothes because they said there was a shortage. Funny, how I got 20 from
Walmart same day.

Nursing staff with the responsibility of actually caring for patients, don’t. Staff is 1 nurse per hallway of approximately 20 rooms per. Found meds on the floor behind and under the bed even after personally cleaning up room. Bugs on the countertops in room. Meds not given to patients on time,prn pain meds many times weren’t given at all. Residents calling out to the hall for help, stating they were being ignored and to please help. PT was decent when with patient but if patient had any other appts like dialysis, they generally would not get PT. Showers for bedridden patients have to be requested or else they don’t get washed. My diabetic family member came out with green on their feet from not being washed. After neglecting to care for a medical device (even though they were questioned several times as to concern for the care) patient ended up in the er, non-responsive, put on life support and has been an uphill battle since. These are generally elderly they are caring for so in my opinion care should be impeccable. BC of age, most patients neglected because there are plenty other "reasons" for them to have the issues they have. However, when you are a caregiver (which they did not know I was) you see all the flaws in the system. and many of these patients are afraid to tell anyone bc they are afraid of being mistreated when family leaves.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Lawrenceville, GA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
