Sandy Springs Center for Nursing and Healing

Not sure how this facility is receiving any stars! This place is horrible. I recently decided to have my sister discharged due to neglect. I was told that we would have to wait until Monday. Monday arrived, I went to the facility to begin the process. Not one person asked for my ID nor was I ever asked for a reason behind wanting to leave this facility. But I was quickly informed that I would receive a bill due to her being discharged against medical advice. No one cared, which led me to believe this happens often! The process was not explained and the nurse I was routed to, was clueless! She initially gave me the wrong paperwork and had the nerve to think I would sign something to have them fill in later. She eventually asked for help and found the correct document. After signing the correct form I asked, if they could assist me with helping her to the car. The nurse said, “you are on your own!” Leaving me to think if she would have been discharged regularly would they help! Service was just ridiculous! As we were leaving the area I hear one of the other nurses(that witnessed the document signed) say, “is that her wheelchair, if not, we need to get it!” I was about to release some harsh words from my tongue but I made the decision to push forward. The room she had was not cleaned properly and the vent had all kinds of trash in it! This is not a place I would ever recommend. I regret not doing a tour before agreeing to place my sister in this facility!

I went to the Mother's Day brunch this afternoon that was sponsored by the Sandy Springs Center. I was so impressed! They had the room nicely decorated and the food was very good. They gave each resident lace gloves and beads to wear during lunch. They also gave a rose to each guest. When the brunch was through each resident left with a goodie bag and tge guests were given a key chain. I can't say enough positive things about the experience. You could tell everyone was having a great time!

I will say this much. Life will not find its way here. Sandy Springs Center for Healing and Nursing is not perfect. Nothing or no person Personally, when my son and I went to visit and met the Administrative office, Director, Social Worker (s), I knew it was not perfect. I just needed for the place to be "all" right. My husband has been a client for almost 5 years. He had visited him every season each year. Seemed like there was no progression with attitudes of the Administrator or Social Worker. They were just giving strength to some space. Transparency is not found. You could sense in a conversation when a lie was on its way. There are a lot of things not being said about this place. I dont need to know the outcome or the reason why before I decide to take a step or two. I do know the God that sustains us, will walk besides me in this fight regarding nutrition, sanitation, therapeutic actives, mental emotional and spiritual health.When you speak on healing all those subjects should be included everyday in the lives of each client at Sandy Springs Nursing Center. I pray that everyone who has a loved one living at this facility will stay involved with the healing of their
