The facility is beautiful, but care is absolutely awful. My elderly mother almost died from their total lack of care. She was over-sedated from their polypharmacy (narcotics/benzos/antipsychotics) and stopped eating resulting in severe dehydration with significant weight loss, fell out of her chair sustaining an injury to her head, got a bed sore and a urinary tract infection. Thankfully, we got her to another facility in time to save her. She got lots of IV fluid, treatment for her UTI and stopped all the sedating medications that they had been giving her. She is once again awake and eating. There was a total lack of compassion and no communication at Albemarle Health anda Rehab …it was all about the money. You would think that for $285/day you could at least count on receiving the very basics of care! I think that they kept adding more and more drugs to shut my mother up --she has dementia and yells at times. They almost succeeded in shutting her up permanently. Wow . . .
