"My mother has been in the memory care unit Revere for approximately 3.5 years. Recently my mom took a fall out of her wheelchair chair about a month and a half ago She hit her head and has a hairline fracture on her ankle. She has been transported to her doctors appointments at least 2 times by the facility and once by private medical because they were booked. She is currently 91. Recently I was told that I needed to pay $40/hour for a caregiver to go with her on the bus. I meet my mom at her doctor appointments and follow up with the facility for doctors orders afterwards. A caregiver went on her second trip but the last two visits nobody ride with her. I have requested a meeting but as of today no response. I am highly disappointed." - D…

Assisted Living, Independent Living

"My parents moved to the citadel 5 plus years ago. It was a wonderful place then. The people were happy. It was clean, (although the wallpaper, carpet and furniture needed to be replaced). The staff and Executive Director were interactive with the residents and knew their names. The food was great. There were many options to choose from and the portions size was good. There were at least 2 medtechs on each floor along with 4 or more caregivers to take care of the residents each shift. The communication between the Executive Director and the staff was great due to the willingness to listen to one another and work together to make things run smoothly and at its best. The Executive Director knew everyone, but what made him stand out was his willingness to go the extra mile to help others. By others, I mean the residents and the staff. For instance when the kitchen staff was short handed he got in, took orders, cleaned off tables, and did what needed doing. He also would Executive Director worked side by side with care taker helping a resident & empty trash, etc. This Director had good people and leadership skills. Things have changed. There've been 5+ different directors/managers. Concerns from residents, relatives of residents & staff to those in management positions fall on deaf ears. Food options and portions are much smaller. MANGEMENT did away with security guard & trimmed down staff: 1 cook and 2 servers for 100+people, caretakers & medtechs-1 each on bottom floor, 1or2 mdtk & 1or2 caretakers top floor. MEDTECH DUTIES: intake of meds from provider, organize & distribute correct meds to residents, Help caregivers, mandatory paperwork! CAREGIVER DUTIES: Baths, falls, Bathroom help, poop/pee & vomit clean up, take residents back & forth to meals/activities, answer residents call, pickup trash. HEAD NURSE & OPERATIONS MANAGER should recognize the DANGER of UNDERSTAFFING these important positions! I CAN'T recommend the Citadel" - Michelle…

"Prices randomly go up. No transparency as to how prices are calculated. Recently changed medication management fee, no 30day notice or how prices calculated. Initially increased price, then said they miscalculated and increased again retroactively, had PCP reduce medications, temporarily reduced back to original level, then randomly retroactively increased to higher level and said cost now includes PRN medications taken at most once a year. Many services added onto service plan are not done but we are being charged. Fee is supposed to include making bed which they never do, housekeeping which is suboptimal and sometimes not at all, food is very institutionalized. When you ask a question about pricing they fail to provide clear answers and threaten to kick out if you don't like it. Many elderly especially with memory issues would rather stay at familiar location even if suboptimal; therefore, recommend look very hard at all options before moving in loved one." - Sid…
