Resident & family reviews
My mother suffered months of neglect and mistreatment in this facility. She had repeated pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, and dehydration. As soon as she would be hospitalized, she would recover in a few days with no distress. As soon as she was sent back to Golden Peaks, she would relapse within 1-3 weeks. Often, when checking up on her, whichever nurse was in charge of her care would know nothing about her. On her last hospital admission, she was suffering from dehydration, septicemia and had blood sugar of over 600. She was also found to have un-chewed food in her mouth, which she may have been sucking on for 3 days while unconscious. When we complained of her poor care to her doctor and the treating hospitals, she was abruptly discharged without notice.
Upon further research, we discovered that we were not the only unhappy family and other joined in with us to complain to the health dept.
