People can leave and come back in 90 days and still have a spot. ![]() As I was speaking with the people there, it’s like, ‘This is not a real assisted living place.’ The people there come and go any time, all the time. I went and visited The W Assisted Living at Riverdale. ![]() While I am writing this, I’m still waiting for a call back from the doctor, from the social worker and the therapist. Made me wonder if I hadn’t ask for an update, he would’ve never done anything to try to lower it. He then was going to start him on something. When I finally spoke with a doctor, he was checking the records and came across that my father’s potassium level was high. Never heard from her again, two weeks later he has an infection. I told a nurse that my dad was feeling a sensation where he had the catheter, she said she would call the urologist. If you’re there for any type of rehabilitation/therapy or anything other than staying in your bed and having someone bring you your meals…forget it! ![]() so if you’re there to do nothing but sleep,fine.

They were nice to me and they were nice to mom, but all I met was the person that gave me the tour and the front desk. It looked like there was nothing outside if my mother wanted to sit outside in the sun. To me, it was very small and very cramped. That one big room was attached to the dining room. They had one big room where everybody watched TV. She walked in there and then within 10 minutes, she was like, "I want to go." It didn’t smell right.
