My mother moved into Wesleyan Village memory care. They're certainly giving us everything that we had asked for. It's rather pricey, but eventually, Medicaid will kick in and start paying. We love the staff. Her room is quite nice. The food seems to be good. I've eaten there a few times before. They try to keep them busy. They don't let them eat in their rooms. You have to go to the dining room to eat, and I like that part. She has a nice-sized room. She has a bed, a couch, a recliner, and a dresser. There's enough room for all of that. There's a manicurist that comes and gives the women manicures. They read the newspaper to them and they play games and they do arts and crafts a couple of times a week. They do chair exercises and play music. They have concerts at the facility. The outdoor spaces are nice and there are plantings and benches. In memory care, you're very limited. You have to have somebody take you to those places. Maintenance and upkeep are fine. So far, so good. It is a lot of money, but it gives us peace of mind that she's safe.

Both my parents were residents at Beacon House which is WV memory care unit. Most of the actual “hands on” caregivers were excellent. The food was pretty good - no complaints about that from my parents. The huge problem is communication from administration. They NEVER picked up their phones and would answer voicemails 4-5 days later, if at all. My mother was placed in hospice. We were supposed to be allowed extra visits because of this. However, we rarely got someone on the phone to schedule these visits. Near the end of my mother’s life, she received three sets of visitors on one day. They hadn’t called to make appointments since no one would answer the phone anyway. Because of these visits the director of nursing called me at work to chastise me about the amount of visitors my mother was receiving. I agreed to cancel my scheduled visit with my mom later that day to appease her anger. Her final words to me were, “this is not a life or death situation”. My mother died at 5:30 am the next morning. NOT OK! Trust me, when you are touring the facility or calling to get information for placing your loved one in this facility, they will bend over backwards to accommodate you and answer all your questions. Once your loved one is placed in their care, good luck getting someone in administration to pick up the phone

The last few months care has really gone down hill for my family member who has lived in dementia care here for many years. Administrators hide from family members and don't want to be contacted. And when you do speak with them, manipulation of family members is job 1. Veteran floor nurses are being replaced by young inexperienced nurses just out of school. And they must work multiple floors. Dementia care requires stability and consistency for the patients but aides are floated around and never get to know patients. its always chaotic because they are short staffed be design. As soon as my family member converted from private pay to Medicaid, care went down, and they actually tried to manipulate us to move them out. Rooms were nice with private pay, Medicaid rooms are dumps. Billing department is a mess after they fired their only experienced person a few months ago. Ironically now they never bill for my family members 'patient liability' portion. So they don't even realize they are short billing us by thousands of dollars! (tried to fix this but their billing staff is too incompetent to understand.) Incompetence does seem to be rampant here, starting with administrators and filtering down through all the staff. Seems like the few competent staff are getting fed up and leaving. Truly wish I could move my family member but now being on Medicaid we are stuck. All the really good nursing homes having waiting lists to get in, the bad ones have plenty of spaces. Don't want to trade this bad situation for another.
