Every time we visit my Gram we find her in a soiled briefs. Were told she is checked every 2 hours. Shes had 5 falls in 2 months. Requested bed alarm and told it was considered a restraint so it was removed. She is given stool softeners even though she clearly doesn't need them. Asked for them to stop and told they'd have to check with doctor. Changed one of her meds from generic to name brand at our expense. Raised fee a $1000 but care is worse. Told they are not short staffed but hired 3 more CNAs. Still can't find one when needed. Exposed to something highly contagious from her roommate but did nothing to insure Gram was not exposed. Very disappointed with the care we are told she is getting verses the care she is truly getting especially as she is private pay. Extremely upsetting for our family as we feel deceived.

Since the change of ownership they are finally doing something about the conditions by starting with some remodeling and reducing employee turnover. I have been going there since 2016 as a Pastor, it is definitely looking like they are trying to change things for the better for the residents and also the staff!

My husband came to Aperion DeKalb six weeks ago, following a stroke, concussion, resulting hydrocephalus and other complications. He was unable to stand up, had lost dexterity in his hands, becane easily agitated, and had sleep disturbances. At Aperion DeKalb, he was weaned off of a drug he should never have been given at another facility, is getting physical and occupational therapies, and is in the process of regaining his strength. Parts of his mind are returning, and, for the first time in eight months, there is hope for a certain degree of recovery. Aperion’s activities for their residents include many memory games, movies, crafts, and other mind-stimulating events. All staff (including those in administration) are knowledgeable in each of their professions, are very patient and compassionate, and show kindness towards the people for whom they are caring. The administrators are open to discussing any issues. Each issue that we have encountered has been addressed and solved, and my husband is receiving the best of care. Now, during the warmer months, my husband and I have been enjoying time on their landscaped patio, an atrium with trees, winding paths, patio furniture, flowers. and birdsong. It’s good for him to be in fresh air and sunshine, and good for the soul. The building is undergoing renovation, but the areas that are updated look brighter. It’s a positive change that will benefit all, once completed. My one suggestion would be to add more nursing assidtants, as they are in great demand there.

My mom has had several short term carestays this year. She has received great care and Physical Therapy. She enjoys the food service. The facility is in the process of remodeling. I believe the quality of care has increased drastically from her first stay some years ago.

My mom was recently there and was not to be released until she could walk. I went to visit her and surprise I was told she was going home. In shock! Can't walk, can't breathe. No ambulatory to get her home. We were forced to get her into a car which took an hour. She was taken by ambulance the next day where she remains at this time (worse than prior to her being there) I was told to pick up her clothes on Tuesday because they did laundry, I am now told she doesn't have anymore clothes there! Avoid this place at all costs!
