Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Quality Life Services (QLS) and Sugar Creek have received a variety of reviews from residents, their family members, and friends. Many highlight the exceptional care, compassionate staff, and clean, well-maintained facilities. Residents are treated with respect, support, and love, contributing to a high quality of life. The staff is praised for their dedication, even knowing residents by name and engaging them in activities. The facilities are described as beautiful, with pleasant views and wildlife, enhancing the living experience.
However, there are concerns regarding the facility's policy on staff vaccination. Several reviews express disappointment and concern that the facility does not mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for its healthcare staff, potentially putting vulnerable residents at risk. This has led to some advising against choosing this facility for their loved ones.
On the positive side, the facility's efforts to keep families connected during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as through video calls, have been appreciated. The staff's ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during challenging times has been noted. Additionally, the facility's commitment to fulfilling residents' wishes and keeping them engaged through various activities and outings is commended.
However, some negative experiences have been reported, including issues with communication, particularly regarding COVID-19 status and protocols, and concerns about resident care and attention to personal needs. One review mentions a resident being left in soiled diapers for extended periods, and another discusses challenges with medication management upon discharge.
Overall, while many reviews praise the facility for its care, environment, and staff, concerns about vaccination policies and specific instances of care need to be addressed to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
