Lyndale Abilene Memory Care

The facility can not keep staff, every time I visited there was different staff. I'm totally upset with the lack of staff and the lack of communication with the patients. An example, my wife was experiencing a medical emergency and the nurse wanted to call an ambulance, she was reprimanded and told to not call, as a result they had to call anyway because she could not stay in control of her own breathing. She was taken to the hospital and stayed there for at least two weeks and was then admitted to the hospital hospice center and never returned to Lyndale. My daughter in law and her extended family were aware she couldn't return so they cleared her room so they could admit a new client, when she informed the registrar that the room was empty they told her they wanted a 30 day notice and they would charge one month fee to clear the facility. This is the most expensive and uncaring place I have ever been associated with. All they want is money. Several times I visited my wife and her room was in disarray and things came up missing. I reported that to the front desk and they apologized and that was it. [name removed] lived until August and passed in her sleep at thee Hospice facility in Graham, Tx. They were so helpful and they responded immediately to any situation that arose. They said they had never heard of a nursing facility charging for a 30 day notice. They were great and [name removed] lived comfortably until her death. I still get notices in the mail from Lyndale asking for the 30 day fee. I'm totally disappointed with my experience with Lyndale and cannot recommend it to anyone that needs nursing help. Not a place for mom, it's a place to make money without regard for the quality of health to the residents. Don't be fooled by their initial impression, it's a scripted story. I strongly disagree that it should be considered as a place for mom.
