Waterview Hills Review
• Stained, crusty sheets
• A used medical glove in the bottom drawer of the bureau.
• The hospital bracelet from the former patient was still on the top of the bureau, in plain site. Clearly this area had been “straightened” but definitely not cleaned.

This is how our saga began at Waterview Hills in Purdy’s and this is how is continued until I got to management and pitched a fit for my mother.
• It was clear by the pandemonium we encountered at arrival-yes; they were expecting us, the hospital called to say I was bringing my mother in, that this place was woefully understaffed.
• Inedible food. The pancakes needed a knife. The hot cereal was cold. The meager slice of meat was 80% fat and gristle.
o After complaining we were told that if Mom wanted to go downstairs to eat, e food was better. Or, in my words, residents are punished for staying in their rooms even though they pay the same.
o After complaining, the director of food service came to complain to my mother! How could she complain about hard pancakes, fatty meat, etc ad infinitum. If her food is cold she can ask to have it heated up! Really? This is the responsibility of an elderly woman just out of the hospital? I thought it was the responsibility of the director of food service.
 In the Waterview Hills brochure, Fine Dining is listed first. Hardly.
• It took 3 days from our initial request for a shower for my mother.
o We were told residents receive a shower every 3 days. So, if you ask after they’ve done the round of showers, you are out of luck.
 Mom had been in the hospital for a week with IV’s in both arms. She was looking forward to a shower.
• We were sold a room with a shared bath for 2. When we arrived it was a shared bath for 4.
o When my While this was remedied, it felt like bait and switch.
• Mother told an aide the bathroom was out of toilet paper,the the aide told my mother it wasn’t her job.
• No hangers in closet
o While this was remedied, they were expecting us.
• No pillows on bed
o While this was remedied, they were expecting us. Then we asked for 3, 45 days later, still only 2. Yes, it’s a small complaint, but compounded with everything else?
• No assistance upon arrival until I complained.
o I brought my mother in. No one directed us. I was pointed to her room. There was no welcome packet. It was worse than a Motel 6.
While Waterview “looks” pretty, landscaping, nice furniture and carpet, they are so understaffed it isn’t funny. If you hate your parent then this is the place for them.

I was a resident here as was my father. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay as well as my father's as comfortable as possible.
