Mom is cared for and doing well

Mom spent 4 months at an assisted living facility. When she could no longer stay there, we were very concerned about finding an appropriate place. We learned about Galway Homes and visited immediately. WE'VE had no regrets since. First, it's a house where the residents (no more than 7) get home-cooked meals, sit in the dining room together, then move to their rooms or the living room. Where Mom spent most of her time alone in her room at the larger facility, HERE she spends most of her time in her favorite spot in the living room. She can see everyone coming and going and they can see her. She definitely gets more attention which also means they know her well enough to know when she seems a bit off. They communicate with us, and the problem is taken care of quickly. We also appreciate the owner's directness and years of experience and feel listened to when we express our concerns. MOST importantly, the owner cares deeply about our Mom and her needs, and she knows that. We are thankful.

Very pleased with care, responsiveness

Mom is doing so much better since moving here nearly a year ago. She was in assisted living briefly but needed better long-term care. She has dementia, vision loss, and mobility issues, so many activities and true independence isn't possible. She misses her home, but she could no longer live on her own. She’s safe and well cared for here. It's a warm, homey place, and she spends time in the living room where she can interact with staff and others. The food is good, and the staff I’ve met are kind and capable. [name removed] , the owner, is blunt and opinionated, which may not appeal to everyone, but he’s also smart, funny, and has more than 30 years of experience doing this. I appreciate that he listens to my sisters and me when we have questions or concerns. I can tell that he genuinely cares. And he makes Mom smile, which is huge! This is a great option for those needing long-term care for friends or family in the Kansas City area, especially for dementia or memory issues.

TOXIC owner, environment, workplace.

Mom had multiple UTI's (urinary tract infections) and got a black eye. We were discouraged from going to the Emergency Department but they kept Mom for 3 nights when we did. I was personally retaliated against by the owner giving us a 30 Day Notice of Discharge two times, both immediately denied by the state. Then when we were trying to move out, he called Adult Protective Services saying I was taking my mom against her will. [company name removed] Nurse Practitioner, in cahoots with owner, who gets many residents from The Gardens, her former employer, refused to sign paperwork for new facility. There were several exceptional caregivers who were also being vigilantly watched on interior cameras and were also being harassed. Almost zero activities and no specialized care or communication strategies for residents with memory impairment. $[price removed] a month and the $[price removed] Security Deposit was not returned despite meeting all the conditions for vacating the space. I'm an RN and The State was called.

I visited a friend at Galloway residential homes for dementia in the Northland on several occasions and found this home to be warm and loving. Many of the staff members have been there for years, I did not know that residential homes like this exist and I was impressed. My friend came from a larger facility and has done very well, I have noticed a dramatic change in her.
