"Assisted Living Facility Backtracks after Promise to Accept Dementia Patient"
I recently took a trip to Good Samaritan, a local assisted living facility. The owner assured me they could accommodate my mom's difficult behaviors and her mental condition, which includes dementia and occasional physical and verbal aggression. Based on their promising words, I decided to transfer my mom to Good Samaritan and notified her current residence. Unfortunately, after Good Samaritan received paperwork from Kings Manor, my mom's former assisted living home, they changed their minds and told me they couldn't accept her because of her behavioral problems - what a letdown. Regardless, my mom has to move. This kind of situation is stressful as it is, and their sudden change was just making things worse for my family and I. If they had been honest in the first place and had told me they couldn't handle my mom's behavior, I wouldn't feel this way. I clearly communicated my worries about my mom's aggressive episodes. The owner insisted they were a specialist and could handle it. Make sure you have a signed agreement before making any final decisions.

"Good Samaritan Goes Back on Promise to Accept Behavioral Patient"
I visited Good Samaritan and was assured they could work with my mom's dementia and behavioral issues. I planned to move my mom there, so I let the current place know. However, after getting paperwork from Kings Manor, Good Samaritan backed out and said they couldn't accept her due to her behaviors. This is really upsetting since we're already dealing with a distressing situation. If they had initially told me about this constraint, I would have understood. I even mentioned my concerns about my mom's behaviors to them. They guaranteed they could assist, but they didn't deliver. Be sure to get a contract signed before proceeding.

Lina is amazing with my Aunt. She is very patient but also firm, which is really important during this tough time for someone who has been independent for 94 years and now needs help.
