Charter Senior Living

DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE IF THEY NEED ANY PERSONAL CARE . !!!! GOOD ACTIVITIES AND FOOD PERSONEL CARE IS NEGLECTFUL THE AIDES HAVE 20 PATIENTS FOR THERE ASSIGNMENTS.

Thankfully my stay there was short and what an awful experience it was. They are very under staffed and I was only there for respite and did not get the proper attention I needed at the time. I remember waiting for a nurse for almost two hours just to help get myself dressed for dinner. The food there is terrible and half the time the things featured on the menu weren't available. The only dessert ever offered was Jello and most of the residents were not very high functioning like myself. The one good thing that I can say about the place is that the therapy they offer is fabulous. Other than that I am happy to be out of there and back at home.

this is the worst, most disgusting place i've ever seen. we are pulling my mom out immediately. do not put anyone, not even a dog, in here.

We placed my Dad at Provision at Hermitage last September. They were friendly, his apartment was kept clean, and he was close to my brother. However within a few weeks its was obvious that the personal care staff was not helping to shower him, reminding him to brush his teeth, put on pajamas , or putting out clean clothes for the next day. They said it is Tennessee law that they cant force a client to do anything. Dad had been at a previous home for 5 years and had been willing to do whatever he was told. But he was demented and certainly didn't remember to do these things without being helped. The food was also terrible. My brother would bring Dad soup and things from Paneras. When other residents would here Dan was bringing food back they would ask him to get them some as well. \r\nDan had many discussions with the management and got no where. We took Dad out after two months and moved him to McKendree where he received excellent care.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one, and I was not impressed by what I saw here at all. I also have friend with loved ones at this community, and I have not heard good things from them either. Based on my own experiences and what I have heard from others I would not recommend this community.

dirty, dirty, dirty the resident rooms and bathrooms are filthy The food is awful

They don't have adequate staffing, and they have agency staffing they are using. My loved one was left in bed until 10 am daily. The community wasn't able to provide a pureed diet, they classified it as pudding and applesauce. Most of the meals my loved one had was ham and cheese sandwiches. They tried to feed my loved one a full meal. They staff didn't watch my loved one close enough and my loved one fell in their care. There was never any staff around. The administration wasn't supportive of the concerns or questions about my loved one. They kept repeating that they would get things sorted out and they never did, even in the short amount of time my loved one was there. They told me that I was expecting to much. I ended up moving my loved one out of the community quickly due to the horrible experience and canceled the check. I ended up being at the community more than I wanted to be to watch my loved one. I was having to call in sick to work because of the concerns I had. I wouldn't recommend the community at all.

Mu husband came home with 2 sores on his heel and a terrible bed sore that ended up causing him to pass away. They seemed anxious to have him here, but he was more work than they were able to handle and I wish they would have just told me that from the get go. I wish I had never sent him here in the first place.

Not to be cliché, but if I could give this place a negative value rating, I would. My mom lived at this property from [dates removed]. From the time she moved in to, eh, maybe about the time Charter took over, things were pretty good. They had a fantastic executive director ([name removed]) and I felt the ownership and management adequately kept me updated. Then Charter Senior Living took over. I'll say that maybe the first year or year and a half things seemed okay with Charter. Then early this year [name removed] decided to leave. Now granted I know COVID has caused chaos for everyone this year, but here are some of the tidbits that made me decide to spend several thousand dollars on my own home to move my mom out so she could live with me: 1) [name removed] left 2) The staff began lying to my mom about scheduling rides to doctors appointments (my mom requested and confirmed rides only to be told she did not) 3a) One of the many "new" executive directors this year (they've now gone through two since [name removed]) pretty much lied to me and tried to tell me I had to send her a second notification email in order to let her know that I planned on taking my mother to my house to spend time with my husband and I for the 4th of July weekend. I followed their procedure as listed in the notifications they sent out to do something like this in the time of COVID. Not sure why the executive director decided she needed a second confirmation email which was contrary to said procedure? 3b) This caused undue stress on the overworked staff because said executive director did not appropriately communicate with the staff about my mom leaving for the weekend. So they were rushed in preparing her medicine, etc. for her departure. 4) One of my favorite: Although not by much, they raised my mother's rent without notifying me (and by the way, the rent comes out of my bank account). Pretty sure that is illegal. They tried to claim that they had the wrong address for me on file. Soooo how do you explain that I received ALLL the COVID-19 notifications you sent as well as ALLL the invoices you've sent me via the USPS mail forwarding service...but NOT the rent increase notice. That's cute. 5) And, hahahaha, the interim executive director after the chick described above has a severe attitude problem and definitely needs an adjustment. He was less than pleasant when I discussed the items mentioned above with him. And yeah, I had an attitude with him, don't care. 6) Finding out about the three COVID scares in the last two months via my mom rather than management *chef's kiss*. 7a) The most recent executive director gave me very confusing directions about providing the notice to vacate. I eventually had to print an email chain between him and I as well as provide a formal cover letter signed by both my mom and I just to make sure they didn't play any weird shenanigans when I went to move her out. 7b) Shortly after making sure the most recent (and third executive director) this year 100% confirmed that he received notice to vacate (which stated a move date of [date removed]) he allowed staff to communicate erroneous information to my mom about her move out date (e.g., acted like she was moving out weeks earlier than noted in the notification letter). The grand finale, 8) They allowed the ACH on her November rent to hit my bank account. My bank account is now overdrawn by $1700. Their excuse? Apparently they do not cancel ACHs until they know for "sure a resident has vacated their apartment as planned" (which my mother did on [date removed]). So, their corporate accounting thinks it is acceptable to keep ACHs on the book for residents that have moved out as expected 5 DAYS PAST THE RESIDENT moving out. As I told them over the phone (and I really don't care if they think I have an attitude): they are officially a garbage company with garbage business practices. [removed]. If you think anything above is remotely acceptable. Go ahead. Feel free to move in your loved one. Otherwise, run. Run away as fast as you can.

I would give zero stars if I could. During my grandfathers one year stay here, his hearing aids were misplaced 3-4 times, his stereo went missing, and so did multiple phones. My family paid for all of this stuff to be replaced. They never took responsibility when obviously something fishy went on. Unfortunately my grandfather passed a week ago, and today I went to pick up his belongings. MULTIPLE BELONGINGS from his room were missing, when asked about them, the “helpers” had no explanations but INSTEAD went out to their cars and grabbed my grandfathers belongings FROM THEIR VEHICLES and gave them to me. They said “we were going to call the family and ask if it was okay to take these items”. These items were already in their cars, and if I did not ask them for them, I would’ve never received them, or found out they were stolen. The only call we received was us asking to pick up his belongings so they could move another tenant in. I AM THE FAMILY. After calling them out on their poor poor actions, I was asked to leave the property. Do not send your loved ones here unless you want an early death and possessions stolen.

memory care is a dump - it is filthy dirty - - saw a hangar keeping a door open in someones room = patients are all gathered like cattle in a common area - staff are found eating, on cell phones and even sleeping - no attention being paid to patients. have witnessed dinner being served in dining room - plates are removed before patient is done eating. Saw a patient grabbing something off her plate as it was being wisked away . have witnessed staff stuffing their faces with left over food. all staff - nurses and aides have not an ounce of compassion /caring/empathy/respect for patients -- they somehow forget these patients they ignore - actually pay their salary. have witness staff come behind a patient grab hold and move wheel chair without even telling patient what they are doing-- patient starts yelling and grabbing and staff's comment 'stop yelling and keep you hands in your lap'. management is pathetic, unresponsive to concerns - the fact that they allow the place to be so filthy - they should be embarrased to call themselves leaders . stay away --unfortunately I am not derision maker -- otherwise my loved one would be long gone state should close this place down this is a no star facility

I found this place to be unstable - staff we really liked would suddenly be gone - no goodbye. The staff that is there seem to feel their jobs are unstable as well. You never know when someone might be gone. Memory care Residents especially Need to know that they can count on the staff day to day! That’s a cruel thing to do residents who attach to someone. And in this environment vulnerable needy residents attach quickly so they can feel safe . You won’t find that here. Will be looking for a better stable environment for my loved one. You should too.

The beauty of the environment can’t conceal the ugliness of some of the folks that run this place. They can’t seem to keep the staff on that my mom was attached to. Every time I visited another favorite staff left ( or was asked to. ) we need continuity of care. I suggest you look elsewhere for memory care. Do not recommend them at all.

Such stellar care.....NOT ... Walked in today to find my mother covered in whatever she had for lunch and drooling what she had for lunch .... 2 hours after lunch.. asked about mouth care was told ‘ regulation allows them to use toothbrush twice a day’. Asked about toothette - a foam swab - was told by nurse that is ‘ not supplied here- nor is it regulation to use’. Bottom line - she in an assisted living because she can no longer care for herself - yet they do not provide head to toe care. Hmmm Do not place your loved one here. Has been under 3 different management companies. - nurses and aides are a disgrace to healthcare — — unfortunately - decision maker in family is comfortable with her being. ‘ safe’ apparently not whether she receives comprehensive care

I cannot warn people away from this facility enough. We were told that they provided dementia care and would call in hospice when it became necessary. Their physician blocked our wishes and prevented it. They only handed out the necessary paperwork piecemeal and in fact we did not sign or receive a copy of the contract until we moved our mother out at their insistence. She suffered several bad falls and also hospitalization for dehydration under their “care”.

In my 50’s Wanted to cry when I walked into my mothers apartment today. Food all over the floor - all over her - was clearly from day before as her breakfast was sitting untouched at 1130 in the morning. So not only was she not cleaned up for the night it was obvious to me she had not been taken to bathroom since day before or even longer. Not sure why I bother to ask staff when she was washed or taken to bathroom as their response is always ‘she refused’. My mother has dementia. She is frightened when staff come in and start touching her without any kind of greeting - it’s no wonder she says no. So is their solution to let an 85 yo woman just sit for days in same spot covered in food and incontinent?? There is no specialized dementia care exhibited by staff. I realize this client population can be challenging however they deserve common courtesy and respect and patience. On the wall the unit has ‘integrity and compassion ‘ painted on walls. - what a joke. The carpet is filthy and disgusting. Talk about not meeting the first impression test— door /carpet outside entrance of memory car is full of grotesque stains- as you tour the unit you will see the same through and in resident rooms. I wish I could move her - however other siblings live in area.

Walked in to find my mother naked sitting on toilet with a male nursing assistant standing there doing nothing. No consideration for her privacy and or dignity This is commonplace and has been brought to management attention with no changes. The place is filthy. Walked on unit one day to find every patient sitting in living room with a Spanish tv station while all the staff watched a soccer game. Again commonplace and never addressed by incompetent uncaring management. Stay away - did you parent work hard their entire life to live like this ?? Unfortunately I am not the healthcare decision maker

This building is against all state regulations. This organization allows nursing home residents without the proper care and staff. They do not have a Director of Nursing, NO nurses, few CNAS, and lack of knowledge caregivers. The building’s maintenance is very disappointing for the rate residents pay. The communication amongst administration is poor.
