My husband was in Aegis Living Shadowridge in Oceanside for about a month or so. He's there for memory care. The care was horrendous. When someone went to visit, he was wandering around this room with no clothing on. He was pooping on the carpet and no one was coming to his rescue. He's got dementia. At one point he got upset and broke the toilet seat off and it sat there on the floor for weeks. Nobody repaired the toilet so he had nowhere to go to the bathroom. People didn't come in to check on him, it was just awful. It was terrible and then when we complained about it, they said, "Oh, that will cost you more money if you want us to do those things." It just seemed, to me, to be basic care. When I took him to this other place, he's getting all that and more for $3000 a month less. It seems to me that it was more a business about making money than it was about caring for people. They just didn't care, all they wanted was more money. It was just horrible. They had activities but they never took him to them or encouraged him to go so he just sat in his room and stared at the wall. They never took him out of the room. He didn't have a television in his own room and they never took him out to a room where he could see some television. He just sat there and stared. He was very unhappy there. The facility itself was very, very nice. It's up-to-date and it's very clean. It just seems to me that for $7000 a month, he should get a lot of personal care and he got very little.
