Timber Oaks

The staff regarding the Assisted living side. They are kind and do a great job. The staff has to deal with a bad Administrator and fear what he will do if they do not lie for him or cover his tactics. How people handle deal with bad bosses speaks volumes on who they are as a person. NO thanks to the Administrator on this location the staff is better then I have seen at many places in the Racine, Union grove, Burlington area. Not sure if he has the job thanks to his mother but it is not a good thing. This does not mean this is a job he should have. He should have been fired by now! He is a Bully and uses his position to intimidate people, not only to the staff but the patiences of the facility. He uses Harassment tacks. If a patiences family pushes back he will do anything to stop them in their tracks. His tactics are threatening to have them forced out or has the patient fear him and what he will do and has done! The family has no say on what is done. Your parent is begging to stay because the staff is good. They will do whatever to stay. How sad is that people? That is the Real Truth. It gives him complete control over everyone in that building. Sad! He did it to me and I could not see my parent for over a year because of his threats to my parent. When I say it's first hand it is personnel. HE is a SLIMY little fish and be- careful he fools many. Beware when they are too nice and sucking up. I came in the room one day and this is what I smelled and seen first hand. He/she has not showered in over a week, no food, was very ill, and bed sores. I had someone come in and shower him/her, bring some food in for them, and changed his/her bedding. I firmly told the Admin this will not be done anymore. Had the staff dumped the garbage and clean the room? Would you want your parent to be treated with such lack of respect? The Admin was walking in every two-second in the room. {Not the first time this happened} Shared space is just wrong and if you do it build it bigger! He was mad because the patient was able to complain and he hated that fact. He likes them quiet and easy to push around. He/she stood up for themselves. As did the family and he had to control one or the other which do you think was easier? Yeppers, the patient. Families need to make many pop in visits and not the same time or the same day. Keep them on their toes and accountable to you! Call the state each day if you need to hold all of them accountable. Elderly care in this state is sad and depressing. We should be ashamed of how easy this has become to make money on seniors or ill family members. I would like to know why the maintance is lacking in these facilities they make tons of money. We should be demanding better for our parents!!! Why is ok to put them in a closet and forget about them? This is what the companies bank on. Tour the ones in the area that your parents or a family member will be entering. Believe me the kindness is a show. I have seen it first hand for many years. The paint colors are depressing and why is it always poop brown? Light or dark it sucks! The floors always look dirty and never clean enough. The facility will not provide the proper cleaning supplies. Why do they always smell like body fluids? The room sizes in these places as in others are smaller then our closet! Could you live in that size of a room or have to share? The owner is looking to expand and my hope would be to make the rooms bigger for the patients he already has in his assisted and nursing home on the same site. It is a very small lot size and can only imagine the rooms would be tiny if he builds more rooms. He is all about the money not the patients. Please view these places like you would be living in them. What would you want? The kind of care you want and I think we NEED to have them sign a contract with the family. On the care and we have rights to chew you a new one for not giving the respect or proper care to our loved one! One person that wants to give you a view on this place. Many are afraid due to family still in that place. My parent has passed and sad I will never get back that year and half with them. I was there in the end. The Admin is wrong for what he was allowed to do to us!
