My sister-in-law is at The Sheridan at Tyler Creek. I've had two family members that have lived there. My mother-in-law was in there from 2016 until 2021 and passed away in there. Her daughter is on a memory unit on the third floor. The sad situation is there's one CNA to 16 patients. There are two different wings. There's a total of four CNAs on the whole unit. My sister-in-law doesn't get a lot of brain stimulation or activities. Usually when we go visit her, she's sleeping or laying down. It's not a facility that I would put a memory patient. It's very understaffed, so that creates a really big issue. In memory care, you have to be attentive to them and help them every day. With limited amount of staff, getting them in and out of the clothes, getting them to brush their hair, brush their teeth, it's an all day process; there's just not enough care for her. The whole facility is just not a good facility. She's in a shared suite, so she and her roommate have their own bedroom. They share a double sink and a bathroom. The rooms are nice. They're average (nothing fancy), but sufficient. Sometimes, they'll paint the ladies' nails in the dining area. They'll do trivia with them. Sometimes they'll watch programs of people singing in the lower level. As for challenging her mind or anything like that, that's not done. I don't think it's done for a lot of people there. Sometimes I'd see all of them just coloring and talking. I've actually been there where there have been no CNAs, and I had to intervene with two people who have bad memory almost fist fighting. The dining area is nice, but the food is average. What's kind of nice is even though they're confused, they will ask each one of them what they would like to eat; they have options. They're overworked, but they're trying the best they can. They're not mean to anybody there. They're not bad people that work there.

My mom was a resident of The Sheridan at Tyler Creek. They were understaffed, undertrained, under-qualified, and overmedicating. It's not a good situation over there. They're nice when you first move in. Then as far as your memory care disease progresses, they don't want to deal with you. They just like their patients to be sedated. They could improve on training to learn how to deal with a person with dementia. Also, with communication with their actual doctors who prescribed medicines, and when their medicines are doing way too much. They overmedicated my mother and didn't even let the doctor know. Some of the staff were good and some weren't, so it's hard to say who they were. Some nurses were good, some of their CNAs were terrible. The cleaning lady gave my mother more attention than the CNAs did. If she didn't wake up in the morning, they said they saved her food. But I don't think she got it because she lost so much weight. They sit and eat, and watch television all on like diner chairs. It's not homey, not welcoming at all. It's like they would watch television in a hospital cafeteria, that is basically what it was like. The facility is clean, I know they do spray scents and stuff around for when it's smelly. All their activities are done in one room, television, socializing. It's a diner. For activities, Amber did a good job.
