The facility seems totally unconcerned about the welfare of a particular resident. Her daughter is forbidden to visit, or even phone, her mother.

My friend's mom is a resident there. Management does not allow this daughter to visit her mom or to even call her. Shameful!

A friends mom is forbidden on the property and is isolated from her daughter. This mom needs the love and support from all her children. Her POA is a family member and should not be permitted to ban any family member from seeing this lady. I’ve seen the spark leave this sweet ladies smile and eyes because of it. I am requesting Somerford to step in and help.

Free Poochy! Now! POA is awful and not looking out for her. Abandoned her.

Questions & Answers

When I visit assisted living communities with my daughter, I find it all a little intimidating. Moving from a small house to a big community is frightening. I just don’t know if I can learn my way around a new place.

My father needs more help than we can provide for him to be safe at home. I think he realizes it but is reluctant to leave the friends he’s made in his neighborhood. Dad has lived there for about 25 years. What can we do to reassure him he can stay connec

Good question! Embarking on a new chapter in life doesn’t mean old friends have to be left behind. Assisted living communities offer a wide range of programs and events residents can invite guests to participate in. And they also offer transportation services so your dad can attend events in and around town with his old buddies. Fortunately, there are other ways your father can stay in touch. Social media channels like Facebook or a video chat service such as Skype are two easy avenues for staying connected.

My mom agreed that it was time for her to move to an assisted living community this winter. She knows she just isn’t safe living alone any longer. We found a community Mom seemed to love. Now we can’t seem to get her motivated to actually make the move. I

This sometimes happen when it actually comes time to make the move. Your mom is probably anxious and a little uncertain. A late life transition like this isn’t easy to make. What might help is to get her involved in some of the events and activities at the new community now, instead of waiting until she actually moves in. Talk with the staff to see about helping her find a buddy with similar interests and hobbies that she can bond with during her visits. Becoming more familiar with the community and with a few fellow residents can help make the move feel a little less intimidating.

My children live out of town and have busy lives. I know I need to move to a senior living community but I don’t want to burden my children with downsizing my house. What can I do? It’s overwhelming to think about doing it all on my own.

We hear this concern from seniors often. Sorting through and packing up a lifetime of memories and belongings can be overwhelming. One resource we like to share with families is a group of professionals called Senior Move Managers. They are experts at handling all of the details of a later life move. You can find one near your home by visiting the National Association of Senior Move Managers or Certified Relocation & Transition Specialist.

Where does five star get off making it mandatory to get the vivid vaccine when the virus has a 99.6 percent chance of survival. If you make my wife take the vaccine to keep her job and she has any adverse reactions to it I will sue.

Those of us who have experienced or witnessed the devastating impact of COVID-19 on residents, clients, families and colleagues think of individuals and not just percentages when it comes to doing whatever we can to protect those in our care. Of the nearly 600,000 U.S. deaths from COVID-19 to date, 80% have been 65 or older. Thanks to the COVID-19 vaccines, senior living hospitalization and death rates due to COVID-19 have dropped significantly since January. However, with only 45% of the U.S. population fully vaccinated, we still have an uphill journey to keep everyone safe. It will take every one of us to eradicate the severe danger of the coronavirus to this vulnerable population that we serve at Five Star. The safety and well-being of everyone in our Five Star family is our highest priority. That is why Five Star made the decision that all team members who work in our communities or clinics, or who visit communities or clinics as part of their responsibilities, must be fully vaccinated by Sept. 1, 2021. In accordance with guidance published by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, team members with disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs that prevent them from taking the vaccine may apply for a reasonable accommodation.

How much does it cost to live there each month?
