Rowntree Gardens

My grandma was placed here because the hospital that she had her hip replacement at recommended it. All was good until one day she had a seizure and they thought she was having an allergic reaction to medication, how they could confuse the two is beyond me. It took them 8 hours to figure it out and get her to the hospital on top of that they overdosed her on Benadryl. Don’t send your loved ones here!

My aunt was a happy and active resident at Quaker Gardens (now Rowntree Gardens) with her own apartment, for 15 years. Upon moving in, she didn’t qualify for «Life Care, $ 100 K + buy-​in program that was offered at the time, as she used a power chair. Therefore, she paid a monthly rent.
She affectionately called Quaker her home and she loved, and was loved by caregivers, staff and friends that she had made over the years.
She developed a small wound on her toe, and was told that she would have to, temporarily, go the the on-​site nursing home. She had gone to the nursing home several times before, over the years, for various issues and had eventually returned to her apartment. After her most-​recent admittance to the nursing home, she was told that she would never be able to return to her apartment. My cousin’s family decided that there was something very wrong with this, as this was a minor wound that had occurred several times before, and she was always able to return to her apartment. This condemnation of such a bright, witty and community-​serving lady to a bleek end as this was profit-​driven, as this coincided with the massive model/​rename to Rowntree. This organization would profit greatly, not only in getting a new «Life Care» contract from a new resident, but also a $ 300+/daily nursing home fee from my aunt.
As a result, my cousin moved her out immediately. She applied for four, local, accredited assisted living facilities, including her chosen one, which she is currently living in. It’s disturbing that every facility reported that she should not have been placed in a nursing home.
Do not consider this facility for your loved one.
