wonderful Care for your loved one with Dementia

My loved one spent a few weeks at Alden for therapy and I could not have been happier. [Removed]in admissions really helped us through the process of getting her settled she answered all our questions. [Removed] was amazing she really educated me on dementia and made herself available even on her days off. From the nursing care to housekeeping the entire staff was outstanding I would recommend Alden to anyone looking for quality care.

Administration is sketchy

Not enough nurses to cover shifts A lot of the nurses don't seem to speak englisn. Residents left on gurneys and in wheel chairs in the hallways. No one tends to residents if they fall or need assistance. Dad has fallen quite a few times now and they never know how it happens or how long he was on the floor until they found him. They have numerous "medicare related" agreements where total strangers can come in and interact with your loved ones in suspicious ways and you won't know about these visits until Duly healthcare starts sending you random bills for these visits and refuse to talk to you about them while demanding payment. Administration are a bunch of lying, gaslighting bullies who lose your checks and try to make you think you missed a payment until you pull out signed, dated receipts from them and they still insist on trying to get an extra payment from you to cover for THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND MISMANAGEMENT! Avoid Alden Poplar Creek at all costs.

Dementia Care is a complete joke

- No communication from staff after your loved one has entered the facility - Conflicting responses when you get one from staff - Patients so medicated they can not move/walk/eat - 'Rules' and 'Laws' change at every turn, and each staff member is unsure of anything - Leadership does NOT reply to repeated messages, its almost impossible to get a response on what happened, how - Mother has been waiting 18 months to see a dentist - Mother has fallen multiple times in 6 months but no one knows 'how' or 'when' they only know they found her.....but cant explain how long she was laying in the floor - Activity coordinator is very kind - Meal time is fun for the residents do NOT put your loved one in this facility, you will regret it the moment you drop them off.

The perfect place for your loved ones

I could not be more pleased with the overall facility. The staff is great and the accomodations are top notch. I wanted to find a place for my aunt that could not only give her great therapy but also exceptional care and attention. And Alden at Poplar Creek provides all of that and more. I highly recommend this place for your loved ones. And compared to where she used to be, they are not under staffed at Alden which makes a huge difference in the quality of care.

The first thing I noticed when I entered the building was the overpowering smell of urine. The odor got worse when I stepped off the elevator at the 2nd floor. 3 patients per very small room was the next surprise. (Patients can literally reach out and hold hands.) The only bright spot was LPN Lee, who was very kind and friendly.

Great Therapy Team!

Although my husbands stay was only for a short rehab stay the team there took very good care of him. He really liked and appreciated the therapy team. Very accommodating but also genuinely caring and wanted to make sure that when he went home he would be successful in his continuing healing process. Everyone has been extremely friendly. The staff has been accommodating and kind. They seem like really caring people. People need to realize that the jobs these caregivers have is not an easy one. Everyone should try it for a day! It was a good selection. I would absolutely recommend them for therapy! Thanks to the team there!

Don't let the flowers and cookies fool you!

Don't let the flowers and cookies fool you! My mom went to Alden Poplar Creek after a knee replacement and the quality of care was very poor. The nursing staff was worthless. She was put in a room where her roommate kept the temperature at about 90 degrees and the curtains closed at all times. The women across the hall screamed all night "Get me out of here!"...then an aide would come in and verbally abuse the old woman yelling. They woke her up in the middle of the night to change her bandage when it could have been done during the day. They promised her a shower and never gave her one till the night before I pulled her out of there. If your loved one has to use the bathroom they can wait 15 minutes....the administrator told me this is "state law". No one thought to ice and elevate her knee until we asked for ice...again the nursing staff did nothing. In closing the facility looks nice when you tour, but when you are admitted you can count on being ignored and no one caring!

They Ignored My Mom

I would give them a zero! My mother was there for rehab and we were going to keep her there but we discovered that is was not a good place. It wasn't very clean, they were stealing all her clothes and would ignore her. There were people in the hallways screaming. It wasn't very pleasant. The first floor was very nice but the second floor on up - the higher you get the worse it gets.
