Emerald Groves Inc

This is the 3rd Care facility in which my mother has resided and it is by far the best. The facilities are wonderful but the caregivers are even better. My mother feels as if she is a member of the "family". The caregivers appear to enjoy there work and seem to genuinely care about the residents. I would recommend it to anyone who has a parent who needs loving care.

We really like this community it was very nice and very impressive. The only reason we did not choose it is because they do not take the altex program. When the staff gave me a tour, they were very nice people and very impressive. Just wish they would accept the altex program and it would have been the place for us.

Beautiful new facility. Large rooms, not apartment and not all have showers. Small frig in closet...probably not easily accessable for my dad. Common areas are very nice. The staff that I met were friendly. The cost is more than Bella Vista's with less offered. RN available 24 hrs. Owner ives within a few miles.

My friend's recent experience with Emerald Groves Central and their promise to her failed miserably. The owners [name removed] & [name removed] were told she has ALS (Lou Gehrig's) disease. They terminated her residency because they had to go back on their word that they could take care of her. They said if her health would remain consistent and stable, they could take care of her. REALLY?? ALS is a degenerative disease. As an assisted living provider, they should understand what happens when a person has this disease. ALS is not a consistent and stable disease. I would not recommend this place at all for someone with ALS. I would also recommend that you ask if they know how to handle a choking incident (which started the termination), do they know CPR, or how to feed a person with a disability or on a feeding tube? If they don't know how to take care of someone as their condition declines, then they shouldn't be accepting such patients. What was promised didn't happen and has devastated my friend.
