I am not able to leave a positive review about this place. Yes- we were in a pandemic for a few years that my Mom was there- and yes- there is a select few staff and volunteers that were helpful. If I was "that family member" and notified leadership of problems- things were done. But if you are not there all the time staying on top of everything- the care had much to be desired. Staff could not heat up soup for her as "they did not know how". And not to receive a single call back from staff to help me the week that my mother died there- you really need to do better than that.

We were considering a nursing home at Johanna Shores. We didn't like what we saw at the nursing home part. The independent living and assisted living I'm sure are much different, but we did not tour that. It's a typical nursing home. We were turned off because there just was no view particularly from the windows of their rooms. Some of the rooms were small and it just didn't seem like a homey environment. It was sterile, more like a hospital. It just wasn't what we were looking for. The young lady that gave us the tour was a very fine young lady. She was very accommodating. She gave us a packet to look at to take with us. She was very nice in showing us around and talking to us. They have activities, they just weren't going at the time that we were there, I guess. She showed us the activities room but nobody was in there at the time. It just to us was not appealing. It wasn't a place that I felt I wanted my loved one to be in.

Disappointed. Initially thought this would be a beautiful place for my family member although looks were decieving- fancy-schmancy does not equal good care. Bed-sores, improper catheter care, improperly disposed of waste materials, inadequate over- and under-cooked meals, and dirty dinnerware: the list goes on! There are a few staff that really do care but have observed their own frustration seeing that many patients are not getting their needs met because other staff are not following through. Johanna Shores needs to rethink their goals- making money or allowing individuals to receive the care they deserve as they live out their lives.

My grandma was here for almost a year. It was a horrific experience. Medications were not given at the right times and they switched the dosing without communication. When my grandma went on hospice, another family member had to be onsite for two whole days in order to straighten out the medication. We ended up switching her floors because we had consistent problems with the one floor, including the staff bruising her when they moved her. The residents that did not have anyone to vouch for them were obviously treated significantly worse. There was a handful of staff were wonderful, but the majority of them were difficult and make it very clear that they did not care.

Have had a great experience with my Great aunt and they have been very friendly and have provided great care for her!

Don't let the prettiness of the lake view and the nice facilities sway you to place your loved one here. This has been a horrific experience - and my brother-in-law has only been there a week! We're moving him ASAP! Meds given whenever the medication aide wants to hand them out instead of at the times the doc prescribed them. Have talked to med aide and her boss but she doesn't care, and she lied to patient's wife. Parkinson's meds are supposed to be given at 9 am, 1 pm, 6 pm; she gave him his meds today at 9:15 am and 11 am (instead of 1 pm); the other day, she gave him the 1 pm meds at 1 AM! The med aide was extremely rude to the nurse and the patient's wife (my sister). Her non-caring attitude was awful. Obviously the talk with the nurse and my sister two days ago had no affect on her; she continues to dispense when she wants to, or is convenience for her, instead of at the correct times. After admitting him at 2 pm, he received NO WATER until 2:45 pm THE NEXT DAY - and that was only because he requested 2 Tylenol. It took over an hour and FIVE requests to get the meds, 2 requests by the patient, 2 by his spouse, and finally 1 by me when I went to the nurse and said if he didn't receive them within five minutes, I would give him some out of my purse. The nurse told me that the med aide is supposed to dispense medicine; I said that apparently she isn't going to do it soon because it had already been over an hour, and asked if she, as a nurse, had dispensing privileges. She delivered the Tylenol within 2 minutes. There were no towels in his room; we had to ask for some; they brought 2 washcloths and one hand towel. I had to ask for a bath-sized towel, and she was reluctant to leave it, but did. The patient uses a supra catheter; the bag is on his leg during the day, at night it is supposed to be switched to the large bag hanging on his bed. The first night, it was not switched, and the bag became loose and full during the night. My brother-in-law used the call light twice (with no success) so went into the bathroom and sat on the tile floor for almost an hour trying to figure out how to unhook it and empty it. When the CNA came in, she claimed the urine was usual colored; when my sister and I arrived 4 hours later, the urine was dark red. The nurse in charge said not to worry about it...even though the urine had never been that color before, it was "old blood" (not fresh) and was probably from the insertion of the catheter the day before. The next day, the urine was pink; the catheter was irrigated, and three hours later, there was no urine in the bag at all; there was a blockage. Two days later, there was a problem again and the patient had to be taken to the hospital for a reinsertion. A leg bag was found in his dirty laundry basket yesterday; the day before, the large round bed bag was found, dirty, on the bathroom floor. (And why would a toilet brush be next to a toilet in a nursing home instead of kept on a cleaning cart?) Our mother was in a nursing home for 9 years; we know how it is supposed to work. And this is definitely NOT how it works. We have had someone stay the past three nights on a cot in the patient's room so he can be watched and seen to it that everything goes well, so his wife can get some sleep. There are other things going on too, but there has been ABSOLUTELY NO peace of mind for my brother-in-law or his wife about his care at Johanna Shores. My sister has spoken to three levels of administrators who all say, "This is not who we are." Well, it IS who they are! They are incompetent, understaffed, and this has been an awful experience.

My dad is comfortable and happy. They take good care and are very respectful to each individuals likes and dislikes. He has had to move several times, and we are at peace with his care.
