My mother can’t get up and walk around her legs don’t work very well anymore. She can usually get up from her chair to use the commode that’s right in front of her chair. Sometimes she even needs help with that and when she rings her bell for someone she will usually wait for 30 minutes to sometimes hours before anyone comes in. When a nurse does go in she’ll ask for help getting up to pee and they say they will be right back and they don’t. So my mother can’t hold it anymore and she urinates in her chair. She has …

My uncle was transferred there from a hospital following hip surgery. When he arrived after a three hour trip by ambulance, he had to wait 30+ minutes for them to find a bed pan. The ambulance attendant let him use a portable urinal to relieve himself. They didn’t have a remote for the tv so he could adjust the volume or turn it off. He was very unhappy with their lack of preparedness for his arrival.

My mom was at Sandy River for a few months before her passing. She received wonderful care. All of the staff was very caring and friendly with my mom and our family! Their holiday activities were fun and festive. The staff also helped a lot with filling out needed paperwork. They do a great job of putting compatible people in rooms. Even though there are two people in a room they each have their own privacy. I would highly recommend the facility.

Sandy River was excellent. The girls were wonderful. They did a little training for the the help care providers and make sure that they could give him his insulin, and they did a great job. They were friendly and helpful, and the facility was very clean. I would recommend this facility.
