My son is 27 yr. old and has been on dialysis for five years. He would like to transfer to your Geneva facility. How does he go about this?

I'm thinking about going to rehab but I don't want to leave my kids, I been trying to do it on my own but its hard because the drugs I use help me cope with everything I've been through. I take xanax and lortabs but I was getting medication prescribed for my nerves and depression specially after loosing my son in 2008 but now I self medicate. I just can't be away from my kids long. Just want to know your input

Dina Aldrich has worn out her stays ay Summit Ridge in Lawrenceville and a host of other inpatient facilities, but I know that she needs long term care. PLEASE HELP! Her mother, Ellen North, 678-765-1943, elsuno@charter.net

Looking for anyone who has attended this facility, the reviews are scarce and having a hard time finding certifications etc.

the nurses and cna's are very good at glenburn home but everyone else they dont care about nothing but money they treat the aides and nurses and residents with disrespect!

I would highly recommend GMC to anyone considering surgery.

Ive heard about the DOT form of punishment they use. I don't know how anyone can get through that hell hole...unprofessional staff with a sadistic agenda..nothing Glory about the dump from what Ive heard

Heard the delivery dept might be closing and I think you should keep it open where will people from this area go when they are going to have a new baby, my children were born here and think you should KEEP IT OPEN

THE AGENCY ALSO PROVIDES SPEECH AND SOCIAL SERVICES.

Is there any more current information about Golden Living? This is 3/19/11. Thanks!

This place needs to be shut down I used to be a employee and I know for a fact how this place is run its nasty they are rude to there residents they are lazy they don't care for the residents

oh, BTW, if your loved one arrives at the Dexter House and has some very important medicines to take in the next 12 to 24 hours...better make sure YOU have them... they do not seem to care if you need something right away...like a blood thinner (injectable "Bridge" to oral)... the nurse will just say..."well, we don't keep that in stock, and the pharmacy will have to bring it ...they should be here later..." (LATER being operative word here...anyone out there know about timing of certain meds???)

staff as in cnas are short but are great and getting better, I love the place team work is getting much better

its for the mentaly unstable

I have seen things and reported it and when I did I got in trouble for saying anything I was told I was only picking on this person so now I just shut my mouth and walk away sad but true

My great grandmother who was always a pretty plump lady her whole life also lost drastic weight as the other review here states. She looked dirty,unkept and was barely coherent because they gave her so many pills that she slept all day and every time my grandmother and I would arrive she would be in bed, not knowing what time of the day it was or what month and it just broke my heart to see her in such bad condition. I don't recommend this place to anyone. My great-grandmother even lost her mobility while in this place because she was in bed all day on lots of pain pills they were giving her to sleep and even for a headache!! Absolutely absurd to me. We took her out of there and now she lives with my Grandma and Papa. She's off all narcotic pain pills, she now walks on her walker by herself to the bathroom and down the halls which is a huge improvement from before! I'm just thankful she's doing so good now.

Everything, everything of Grandmas was stolen! Everything of Grandmas went out the door the day she passed away by a nurses aide, the family hadn't even been told she had passed, family didn't find out until 3 days later by accident when a family member came across it on computer for obituaries...

visiting grandmother and observed employee walk past 2 residents in wheelchairs. Employee punched male resident and woman resident in other wheelchair said, "she doesn't like you very much". Male resident who was punched said, "she's always doing that!"

Just joined your "Club" and found out Tuesday it was being discontinued! As this created an excuse for many Greendaler's to get together for a cup of coffee in the morning, is there any chance this service will be restarted? Thanks for the consideration. Jim

They tried to give my mother the wrong medications twice. She waited too long for help to the bathroom and then waited too long after she soiled herself. The hall and some of the residents reek of urine, the place is very filthy. The staff are inept and did not introduce themselves nor show badges. They yell down the length of the hallways to one another. There were no cover sheets to hide patient records from the eyes of passerby. We saw a topless woman with her door and window coverings wide open. My mother’s bed did not function properly and would not lift to accommodate her. The staff told her to sleep in the sitting position! Also at physical therapy in the afternoon, one of the staff was asleep at the desk while I was awkwardly left to deal with wandering residents. This place is an absolute disaster and should be shut down!!!

very poor interview process for potential employees- the administrative staff and their consultants need to attend a class on professionalism- you do not conduct an interview rather an inquisition

Where to begin?! Mothers food. She eats less than fifty percent of any meal if she eats it at all. Her complaints are teh same as others in the residence.I know this because I have spoken to family members and those residents who communicate with me.Food is at best lukewarm at times ,in the dinnig room and room temp to cold when a tray needs to be brought to the residents floor. In order for mother not to recieve barbeque sauce she has been given a "tomato alergy" status by the dinning room.I have gone to th deli nearby orderd her food and brought it back and it is still hotter than what is served from the kitchen less than ten feet from her table.

Mothers roommate bless her heart is constantly in mothers cards letters and pesonal hygene supplies. The roomaate will takethe elastic bands that are to hold up my mothers leg pouch for her foley and use them as head bands. I personally have found the bed side bag for mothers foley still hanging at the foot of the bed with 700cc of urine still in the bag ant the tubeing uncapped no aseptic tecnique used at all. Pain management is a problem.Her orders for Lortab are prn. One is for 1 every four hours as need , the other is for two every four hours a needed. Depending one whe is on duty she mor often gets one then is offerd tylenol if there is no relief. The Dr.incharge of her health care since her addmission has stated he no longer want to handle her treatment stateing that my sister andmy mother have not accepted mothers condition and can not wor with a lack of trust and fear of repriasl. My sisters question was at whaat point during a pts. pain dose the nurse decide to call the doctor. We have even asked if it is possible to give her a ruotine pain med.

This is only a glance at my concerns and worries Ron Kish

my dad is a patient at the Golden Living of North side, 5470 Meridian Mark,and the nursing staff is great with him, and i see them on the halls talking nicely to other patient's. But they are not being treated well by the management i can see that they look scare when the management is on the floor walking around. I had hear comments like" Who are they looking for now?"it makes me upset,my dad he would never get better care any were else i am sure but he is going home and i would not have a peaceful conscience looking at this scenario of apprehensive nursing staff."

Do you have positions open to become an cna?

checking on facilities in arizona

Took my wife there for what was supposed to be a 5 day rehabilitation. We left after 5 hours. the place shouldn't exist. Dirty bathrooms, uncaring and untrained staff, etc. If Bernice wasn't there the place would probably implode

why would there only be one wireless phone for the entire nursing home?

Do not place your parent or anyone in this facility...they are incompetent, lazy, have terrible attitude and I just pulled both parents out of here.

Is Marie Glawe at your facility? She is my sister-in-law and I am trying to find her

These people are a joke, don't make two hour rounds, left wet or feeces on them for six hours, mold in some rooms, go in with a little pinkish bottom and gets worse from not changing or sitting for to long and not getting rotating while in bed,very bad communication between workers,don't dare ask a question to the staff, cause they don't know. Don't know how this place hasn't closed down, this is a for profit by many owners, very low ratings, but one of the places she was accepted because of insurance, only bad ones will accept you if you have Medicare or Medicaid if I was healthy enough I'd bring her home, please do not put your loved one at golden living

Golden Living Center care East Stroudburg

The statistics provided on this site and on Medicare.gov which are even higher and mup to date support observations that long-stay patients lose bladder control, ability to move, and ability to function. For patients under 65 who are merely incapacitated, not incompetent, this is a prison sentence to diapers and immobility- and will degrade the health of younger patients creating additional medical problems as the patient ages. Immobilizing an incapacitated patient who can move makes no medical sense.

He is not a Christian, curses like a sailor and has severe back problems so can't do heavy lifting. so far, from everyone we've talked to, it sounds like it could still work and we are desperate. hoping a bed opens soon and he can go. thanks in advance. its so good to hear about the experience of others.

I have a friend looking for a place to take his mom for treatment of schizophrenia. The woman is talking to the voices in her head, per her own admission. He also has these episodes on video. Is this part of the mental health that you provide?

I'm addicted to pain meds any kind every kind. I'm 57 years old female and have depression I want an inpatient because I live in Lemoore, CA about 2 hours from you, I really need help

My daughther has been told by her insurance that Good Samaritan has a bed for her. What i'm i doing sending her there what kind of hospital is Good Samaritan?

I am 58 yrs old. I was clean for 16 years except for back problems, vicodin prescribed all these years.... as result of auto accident, work accident, total loss of hearing while at work... I went into total failure of liver and kidney then pancreantitus (spelling) coma, woke up after being given 1 percent chance of life. While on disability my boss fired me and I started drinking smart thing to do right. I have looked all over. Blood pressure 190 over 100. Children and grandchildren still need me. I cannot do a detox without it being medically assisted. I will always have to have pain killers for back as it is no longer operable, arthiritis set in and limits movement now. But I have to kick the alcohol. I called in May and June. I was told only labs were needed to get me in, but my doctor instead sent in a referral. I understand you cannot send me the requirements, they got directly to doctor then if labs meet your approval I can get a ten day medical detox. I have blue cross. I need to do this NOW. please please help. Dr. Gulessarian (559) 439-5757 fax (559) 437-3943. I am deaf. Daughter Leslie Ramos (559) 213-6643 She has called twice for me in these last months. If I can quit the booze I can think again. I am not stupid, just deaf and impaired, and insurance will run out soon. I can't find the phone number we called last as owner of home I rent demanded I move out all belongings so she could renovate....what was suppose to be three days has been four months now. You are my hope. My text (cell phone) is (559) 273-2231 email cgoldengreen@aol.com but I am having problems with computer its as old as I am

My husband has been on large amounts of pain killers for the past 10 years, following a terrible car accident. The drugs no longer take care of his pain and because he can never get enough he is now in constant withdrawal. He desperately wants off of the meds. Feels like his original pain is probably manageable now. The withdrawals are so severe that he often contemplates ending it all. I'm a desperate wife. I've heard that some doctors will admit you to a hospital and medically detox you. This sounds like the safest way to me. Please let me know if Good Samaritan can help my husband. He is disabled and on Medicare only. Does good Samaritan work with Medicare. Please won't someone help!

All policies issued by the hospital in past 12 months.

Agree with this reviewer on all counts plus the food service has gone downhill recently. Big increase in early 20's heroin addict clients lately has changed the atmosphere of the BG Center
