Legacy Rehabilitation and Living

I got skilled nursing at Legacy Rehabilitation and Living. The nurses were wonderful. It was kind of a bad time to be there because they had a problem in their Alzheimer's unit. Some of the Alzheimer's patients were moved into the unit that I was in for safety, but it ended up being a catastrophe. Those people wandered around and came in and out of the room and took my stuff. It was just a bad situation. Upkeep and cleanliness were very good. The meals were wonderful. The grounds were very good. I was there during Easter and they had an Easter Egg Hunt and it was very enjoyable. There were several things that they offered. I wasn't able to move around very much, so I didn't take part in a lot of those. They had raised garden areas, and they had vegetables and flowers. They brought me coloring books and word search books. They're just very nice. I only had one problem though. I didn't get home with all my clothes and I called twice and I have not gotten an answer back. My insurance paid for it for ten days and then I had to start paying for it for myself, and that's when I came home. I never received any physical therapy after I went on self-pay. I got my meals and my medicines and that was about it. They should not put Alzheimer's patients in with other people. It just doesn't work. It's a strain on the nurses and a strain on the other people. They offered to move me, but I said, "No, I'll just stay here." I just did not like the people coming and going out of my room. Overall, they were very nice, and it was a good experience.

This home manipulates the residents mentally and involves themself inappropriately in the residents lifes. They do not adhere to the protocol of my family members diagnosis. The staff turnover is extremely high. My Mother has been a resident there for nearly three years and during that time the administration has turned over in kind, inclusive of the social workers. They do nothing with the residents with regard to social activities other than weekly bingo games and other childish activies. Nothing to stimulate the residents minds. I am not impressed and am working dilgently to move my Mother out of there.
