Hedgewood Home for Adults

Reviewer#ET0309c

I toured Hedgewood Home for Adults. The place was highly institutionalized. The room they showed me was a small box room and not impressive at all. It was directly adjacent to the general population. Nita was very pleasant, personable, and thrilled to see my father. I have no problem with her. I saw the residents lined up for their lunch in the hallway outside my father's room that they showed me, which made it loud and boisterous.

It’s dated, but you can tell they’re making improvements. The residents are friendly. You have a mixed bag of people. The staff is friendly. Food looked delicious and place was very clean. Overall a clean affordable assisted living. Activities seemed to be a hit there also. I saw people playing board games, some were out fishing , it’s in a nice area with lots of shops to visit. The rooms were double or single. They were each made up to that residents preference. It’s not a nursing home so don’t expect nurses all over but they do have aides, and there are nurses and a dr downstairs if needed. Not everyone can afford the Taj Mahal, and this place offers the essentials w compassion , cleanliness and affordability.

Food had small portions. Residents are heavy smokers and one resident begged for money.

When I visited Hedgewood Home for Adults, it seemed there was not that much staff around taking care of people. It just wasn't the right place for my mother. The staff who assisted me was very friendly, she was very thorough with the tour, as far as that goes. The dining facility looked pretty nice. They had the tables set up nicely. The dining facility was probably the highlight of the place as far as I'm concerned. After looking at it, that was the only thing that impressed me. Even where my mom's at now is nicer, and way better for her than they would be. The lady who showed us around was certainly helpful, very nice, and was willing to help us out with getting my mother in there if that was the way we were going to go. She was very nice and very helpful. It wasn't her in general. It was just the facility itself and the people there. I don't want to trash the place because I'm sure it's okay for certain people, but it just wasn't right for us.

I am a local business and have filed numerous complaints regarding the residents of this facility. One resident has set up a sleeping bag behind our building and I have security footage of him arriving at 12:30am to spend the night. He is there in rain or shine and I fear for him as the weather gets colder. Another resident came with his walker and in hospital garb and sat outside yelling at customers. I called the police and they said they are getting 3-4 calls a week lately. I have filed with Department of Health and called the Justice Center as well. I am at the end of my rope with paying to clean up the mess these residents leave. How bad must the conditions be, if they prefer to sleep on the streets! Clean up your facility and treat these people with dignity.
