our families experience

I would answer 5 on everything except #7 which I would give a 4. Being in a rural area they may have had limited opportunities but I know my father didn't participate in anything which could be more on him instead of the Facility. We would definitely recommend the community to other families, especially if they are from smaller communities. It is in small town and has that kind of vibe.

Review for Golden Horizons of Sandstone

They are beyond accommodating, work with each client and their needs individually. They have loving and caring staff, they make the residents their family. They want everyone to be happy. The entire staffs jumps in whenever needed and goes above and beyond in their care. I can't say enough good things about this facility. It's small and they know everyone by name and learn each of their needs and likes. I will truly miss all of them

I would recommend the facility with some caveats. The caregivers vary somewhat in their cheerfulness/niceness, but most were pretty good. The housekeeping seemed quite good. We didn't have to move our dad in ourselves since he was brought over from the hospital. Moving the furniture in was no big deal. Communication was okay - somewhat spotty at times. I was not impressed with the quality of the meals, not very balanced between protein, vegetables, and starches. Also very inconsistent from day to day. I guess my main suggestion would be to get a better dietitian.

our families experience

Overall we have been very pleased with the staff and their care services. We do not have first hand experience with the meals and dining service, but we feel what is being served is appropriate. It may not be as many home cooked meals as we would like but overall they food looks good. The activities are still somewhat limited. We do think the value for cost is good and we would absolutely recommend the Golden Horizon's community to other families

Top Ten

The staff were very friendly but there were not a lot of activities. Personal essential supplies were not included in the price. The staff were very accommodating and motivating to my mom. They actually were able to get her mobile and walking again. The food was fantastic and they were able to get my mom to eat three meals a day which she wasn't doing before. The only thing is the room was very clean when she moved in but when we moved out the room smelled of urine.

No communication. No activities director. They don't clean bathrooms in residents rooms. There's bullying my residents going on. Nothing being done about it. Sub par supposed "gourmet" meals. No communication to family is biggest complaint.

It seems we have to stay right on top of things. No initiative is made by employees. Phone calls regarding stuff they should take care of for over $5000 a month. We get a call, run there and it is not a valid need. For example: Your mom needs cat food and litter and the litter box is broken. We get there and the litter box is fine, she had 10# of food and 15# of litter. Overall we are happy though. There are a lot of activities including exercises etc.

I would recommend this location to other families. The facility is rather new so everything they have is up to date. They have their main area that kind of branches off into a separate dining room, a separate TV room, and they have an onsite salon. My mother likes to get her hair and nails done regularly so it’s really nice. They also have an enclosed outdoor patio area that is accessible for the memory care unit. If it is warm and nice outside the residents can go outside if they would like. It’s a secured area too; you would need a code to access the unit. The staff overall does a great job. The nurses are knowledgeable and they seem to know what they are doing. However, there are one or two aids that a bit rough around the edges but that’s to be expected in a newer facility. Other than that the majority of the staff is great.
