Porter Place independent, assisted living and Memory care

Porter Place claims to be a memory care faculty, but clearly is not trained in Dementia or Alzheimer care. Our mother, with advanced dementia was a resident there. As her dementia progressed with personality changes and other difficulties, rather than understanding and diverting the behaviors, they complained amongst one another and to us every time we visited. There were caregivers there that definitely let it be known they did not want to care for her. They were understaffed, appeared stressed most the time and clearly didn’t have the patience for memory care. Her hygiene suffered and she had frequent UTI’s, several falls and they constantly tried to have dosages in her medication increased to make her more docile. Thankfully her doctor refused these requests with concerns of more falls. Our mother eventually ended up in the hospital with failing physical health, was moved to a long term care facility and passed away. I would never recommend this facility, especially for memory care.

the apartments are spacious, staff kind and food is great.
