Details:: My mother was admitted to Lifehouse after being discharged from a local area hospital and thank goodness her family was there with her the very minute she arrived until the day we took her out of this place. After only 1 day, our mother developed a bed sore for which I had to point out to staff who took their time to attend to this need and we had to continue to prompt staff regarding the care of our mother. Even the RN's did not appear to know what they were doing or who they were providing care for. If we had left our mother there alone, she would have sure died in that place and that was something that we were not going to allow. We could see after only a couple of days that her emotional and physical health was declining and we took immediate action. This place should be shut down and never to be opened again and if so only with regular unannounced visits from qualified and caring state officials who care about those who may not have anyone to speak for them. Thank goodness our mother had her family to speak for her.

Details:: These people at Lifehouse don't check on my grandpa as often as they should. They aren't following the diet that was ordered, (he is a diabetic and they tried to give him sugar). The bathroom smelled like urine and even when my mom asked for someone to check on him they took their sweet time. It took over 9 hours to get one simple task completed that my mom asked of them. This place is horrible. Do not bring your loved one here.

Details:: My husband could ride a bike and drive a car before he was admitted into Lifehouse. The Doctor and the staff kept messing up his medicines. The doctor would just randomly change and add to his meds. Not really learned on the side effects and how that were coming out of my husband. The doctor did not have much experience with Parkingson's. The care given in this home is below what is acceptable. Dirty, slow to help patients. Watch out for the administrator they will say one thing and then turn around and tell you the opposite. In just two months time my husband went from a functioning man to one who now has a feeding tube and is with hospice with a short time to live. This skilled nursing home is not a safe place for your loved on.
