    Medication mismanagement, neglect, untrustworthy care

    I’ve experienced medication mismanagement (meds lost or given incorrectly), missed/incorrect meals and promised special diets not provided, lack of basic supplies like blue bed chucks, and an infection I believe resulted from neglect. Therapy billing felt shady, I’ve even called for shutdown/legal action, and the only upside is it’s slightly cleaner than before — I can’t recommend this place.

    About Shady Acres Convalescent Center

    Shady Acres Convalescent Center, also called Shady Acres Health and Rehabilitation, sits at 1310 Gordon St W in Douglas, Georgia, and has a low rating of 2 out of 10, which might say something about what people think, but folks will want to look into that themselves if they're considering the place. This facility works as a nursing home and covers many senior care needs, offering assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, home care, rehabilitation, respite and hospice care, as well as adult day care-all under one roof, which does make things easier when someone's care needs change. The staff focuses on personal care plans and provides twenty-four hour support, and people have said they're friendly, helpful, and kind, so that's nice for residents who might need extra attention. The center is set up for medical recovery with therapy services and has health facilities meant for both long and short-term stays, for people coming back from an illness, surgery, or needing ongoing nursing. Shady Acres' care team helps seniors with everyday activities like dressing and bathing, and there's a special program for folks with Alzheimer's or other types of memory problems. The place tries to make things comfortable with dedicated care amenities and nutritious meals made to support health, and the environment stays peaceful and welcoming. Seniors can join in a range of activities that get them moving, thinking, and socializing, and the surrounding area helps with quality of life, since there are four hospitals, sixteen physicians, eleven pharmacies, many transportation options, restaurants, parks, and a theater nearby for when outings are possible. Residents can also find comfort in nearby places of worship, since there are twenty-nine in the area, and that's important for some. Awards like Best Meals and Dining and Best of Senior Living have recognized the center's meals, care quality, friendly staff, and activities, which says at least a few groups have appreciated what goes on here. It's one of those places that tries to create a supportive spot for both active seniors and people who need a lot of daily help, and it has options like residential care homes, senior apartments, and assistance for folks as their needs change. An expert senior living advisor service is tied to Shady Acres too, and they give free guidance about this community and other choices, which could be useful for families sorting through all the options out there. The rooms and living spaces aim for comfort, while the staff tries to make everyone feel welcome, paying attention to both long-term health and day-to-day needs.
