On the tour I noticed that it is similar to where my mom is currently. It has a memory care and at the time they did not have an availability for us. The location did not really fit the family conveniently either. However, nothing bad was here, my niece liked it a lot.
The web site A Place for Mom was very helpful. A representative called me from the state where my mother was presently in another assisted living. That Rep in turn contacted several places and I was so fortunate that I received a call from Emily from The Lighthouse at Lincoln in Lincoln, RI. This took place last Monday and my mother was moved in with her own furniture that Wednesday. Staff was great - I did the paper work, visited with mother and noticed she was eating and drinking better than before as well as joining the a... read more
I know its not there fault but the only flaw we have found is that everyone there is low functioning, and my mom is more high functioning. She has difficulty finding someone to talk with there. The employees are really friendly and kind, they treat my mother well. As for Activities there didn't seem to be many activities available but my mother didn't show interests in joining in as well. Also in the afternoon there is quiet time.
There some wonderful people here but the culture needs work. Under the new ownership, staffing is not consistent and a resident can have 4 or 5 different caregivers on a single shift in any given week. Residents able to vocalize grievances or bear witness are not welcomed. Staff that "bark and argue" with residents are not considered abusive. There is a common practice of staff socializing in the office while the residents sundown unnoticed. There is little to no weekend cleaning but it is a generally clean and virus free en... read more
I needed a place for my sister to stay while I went away for a week. She has short term memory loss and I needed a place where, if she woke up and 3am and decided to go home, it would not be possible. Everyone was very kind and caring and my sister really enjoyed herself. I would definitely use Albion Court again. I was able to take a much needed vacation knowing that my sister was safe and well taken care of.
Albion is not to bad.
My late husband was a resident at The Lighthouse. In his short stay he caught scabies from another patient and not long after he was unceremoniously thrown out for being combative. He had late stage dementia and combative episodes are common. To have a so called "associate" discuss him in a common area was very unprofessional.
Business response:
We are very sorry for your loss and are sorry that your husband's advanced condition made it impossible for us to adequately and safely care for him. These are difficult decisions and we understand your disappointment. We wish you the best.
After a hospital stay, they acted like they didn't want my loved one to come back. Also no management stays past 5pm, period. Rooms are size of a shoe box. They are also not good at communicating, which goes to overseeing mother company upper management- attitude galore. My loved one was also being placed- during Meal times- with more advanced, non verbal, swallowing issues patients coughing spitting of food ect. He has the Dementia that makes him aware he's sick- so he was sitting there like this is going to me... no one on... read more
Business response:
Ours is a community that specializes in dementia so we are sorry that you found our residence to be of higher acuity than your loved one. One of the challenging things about caring for people with dementia is that it is a changing disease, with varying symptoms, and we apologize if you found that upsetting. Our apartments are purposely smaller scale because larger spaces can be overwhelming for some residents; it sounds as if it was not an appropriate setting for your loved one. We wish you and your family the best of luck.
Not a safe place if your loved one is a fall hazard. My mom fell numerous times and the staff didn't even review their safety procedures.
