John H Johnson Care Suites

This is a horrible place for seniors, please consider another facility. My mother was there around a year and staff is very rude to these seniors who deserve more respect than they get. The staff didn't give my mother her blood pressure and cholesterol medication she needed, they didn't even have iit when i picked her things up..Two weeks ago my mother started not to eat much and throwing up had diarrhea and abdominal pain and have been losing weight. They thought she was lying asking her lets see proof but eventually sent her to the hospital and that hospital seen an infection in her stomach. On the way to oklahoma because I live in another state a guy from hospice calls saying johnson and johnson (he actually said the persons name that works there. D)wanted to put my mother in hospice, I then called this person and she said she doesn't know why someone would call me from hospice. Something doesn't sound right its scary to think they were trying to.send her to hospice when she doesn't need to be there and now my mother is living with me and doing good.

I took my mom and aunt to tour the facility , and we were very surprised to see that we had been nervous and an anxious for no reason. My mom and aunt had assumed that we were going to look at a nursing home, regardless of how many times i protested that it wasn’t. They figured it was like wrapping up dog doo, in a pretty package with a bow, no matter how sparkling the package looks on the outside the dog doo is still going to stink on the inside. But they were wringing their hands for nothing. The place was very nice. I honestly had no idea that there was such a place that existed. The staff was always smiling and working. Not huddled up at the desk scrolling through their phones. There were no cries for help going unanswered and the constant ringing of alarms, being ignored or drowned out by the staffs gossiping about their weekend plans. They greeted us with hellos and asked our names rather than rushed past us with their music blaring in their earbuds. The residents were coming and going and they were all visibly relaxed, some were in the comforts of their own apartment with the doors shut and locked for privacy and some were in the hair salon, and most were at the cafeteria having what looked and smells like a delicious meal. It was salmon if i remember correctly. There were nursing stations at every corner and each one was manned by at least 2 or more nurses. They showed us the laundry room, the post office, the salon, and the herb garden for fresh herbs. I seen several groups of families that were visiting their loved ones, they looked very content with just hanging out and staying for a while, one resident was getting back from spending time with family outside of the facility for most of the day. Others were happy with having a meal with their loved ones as well as several other residents who pulled up a chair as they all crowded one table and ate together like a big family. There were no residents slumped over in their wheelchairs facing the entrance hoping to see a familiar face or pushed into a circle of overmedicated forgotten souls, with their wheels locked to prevent them from moving much like shackles to the wall, nursing home style. The air was filled with the smell of lunch and a few of the familiar classic grandma perfumes, Estée Lauder’s beautiful, L’air Du Temps Nina Ricci, Chanel no.5! No urine smell. That was the first thing I noticed. Just roses and musk! And I seen lots of the women that were wearing their best polyesters and they had their hair done and makeup on! Rather than being made to wear the same nightgown for several days and nights. So in conclusion, this is as far from a nursing home as you can get. And my aunt and mother both agreed that this would make a wonderful home not too far from home. We hope that the financial part gets done soon (which was as painless as it could be ) and I am excited to see them both start a new chapter in life full of friends and good help!
