Autumn Hills- Alzheimer’s Special Care Center

Very unprofessional, uncaring establishment. I had an appt with the social worker to fill out paper work for respite care. I showed up and the social worker was a no show. Instead, the receptionist talked to me to say she was there to help me instead but she didn’t really know what the social worker and I spoke about and the reason of my visit. She said, «you just want resources» when the reason for my visit was to fill out paperwork. I already have all the literature from a previous visit.
After I left, I called the receptionist to tell her that just blowing off an appt with a client is not acceptable, specially since they are in the business of caring and dealing with people under a lot of stress. My voice was stressed and I was upset but I wasn’t screaming. She said, I can’t scream at her or she’ll hang up the phone, then before I can respond she hang up the phone. Where’s the compassion and the professionalism that one should expect from an institution like this? I can just imagine how they treat patients staying there who have dementia and can’t speak for themselves. One would think that they would treat the family decently at least until the patient is in so one if left to wonder how bad they get after that.
