If you love the person who is there or going there get them OUT don't let them go there the nurses lie and do not care the administration lie and do not care if you want your loved one to die this is where they go to die not heal medicines are not given or they are mixed up the aides seem to care but they really have no say I believe there is a class for nurses to teach them how to lie I heard this was one of the better ones wow how sad for the elderly who worked their whole lives to be treated so badly
LGAR is a terrible place to have your Alzheimer's (Dementia) love one. LGAR claims that they are able to take care of your love one. And has continued to call my family, even during my fathers viewing and funeral, to come in and calm my mother down. If we didn't come in, LGAR would send my mother to the psych unit at the hospital where the hospital would continuously tell us that she is not a mental illness candidate. The hospital would suggest certain meds and doses to give my mom but LGAR would do as they wanted. They care more about the state coming in and see that they medicate people too much then the resident, The staff is very unprofessional and rude. The staff has no idea on how an Alzheimer person is suppose to act. And continuously tell me that my mother is being inappropriate. I keep reminding them that my mother has Alzheimer and that is the way she is suppose to act. If you are planning to place your love one at LGAR, I would look else where.
LGAR is a terrible place.......Please beware. The administration is unprofessional, incompetent, negligent and outright disrespectful and rude.They lied to us about what we could expect. Once my 96 year old Mother was admitted everything changed. they force the residents to be corralled at the Nurses station against their will. When residents ask to be taken to their rooms or the bathroom, they are told staff is busy. You can see aides and staff congregating, talking and not working complaining about their jobs while the residents suffer. They have a high fall rate so this is how they deal with it, holding the residents hostage for hours on end in their wheelchairs. I have never seen such lazy people. Unfortunately there were a few good nurses but you can tell they are not happy with their administration. They kick people out if they ask questions and question their incompetencies. The state and county are aware.
Had a family member there under hospice care. Ask for a private room, was told there was no rooms. Ask about changing rooms, was told they could not do that. Facility had 1 bedroom rooms. My family member and my family were not given privacy. My family member was in a small room with a roommate making nasty comments. Then the roommate would blast the tv while in the room. Every time the channel on the tv was changed my family member would be startled, their body would shake and the person would wake up. Also had to yell to be able to talk tobthe family member. With all the noise in the room you could not hear the family member speakOnly two people could sit at a time. The rest of the visitors have to stand shoulder to shoulder. They allowed my family member spend their last days without peace, dignity, and comfort.
