My family member is a resident at Haywood House and we are incredibly satisfied with the level of care they are being provided. Prior facilities have failed to meet the level of satisfaction we have with Haywood House. The facility is smaller affording the staff an opportunity to truly know all of the residents. The staff members are kind, compassionate, and are able to say how the residents are doing without having to ask anyone else. They communicate regularly with family members with status updates/issues and provide families with a level of ease knowing their loved ones are safe in their care.

I took my Sister to Haywood House in May 2020. I also took her bedroom suit which included a good mattress . In a Hospice visit in June 2021, I seen where my Sister's mattress was gone and had been replaced by a piece of foam. The foam pad and underlying box springs were soiled completely through. The staff and management could not explain what had happened to the mattress. I filed a complaint with NC Health and Human Services, who turned the complaint over to Haywood County Dept. of Social Services. The Adult Home Specialist with Social Services found Haywood House in violation of: 1. A standard deficiency of having my Sister sleeping on a mattress (piece of foam & box springs) that was not cleaned or sanitized. 2. A Type B violation of failure to maintain my Sister's room in an orderly manner, free of obstructions and hazards detrimental to safety and welfare. My Sister had 4 known falls, 2 requiring trips to the hospital emergency room during May and June 2021. I was thankfully able to move my Sister to another facility in July 2021.

I put my mom there and paid ahead. She stayed the month of June thru July 18. My mom was due a refund of $4200 which I'm still trying to retrieve. Several items of her clothing were missing. The afternoon that my mom came home we noticed a wound on the bottom of her heel, it was black in color and resembled a large bruise. My mom saw the doctor the next day and we were told that it was from an injury that she had received and that had been left untreated and had to be cleaned out and medicated. Thankfully we removed her before something really bad happened. We (family) had no idea she even had a wound or suffered an injury as visits were very limited due to covid. My mother lost 10 pounds during her stay there and had urine stains on her pants when my sister went for a visit. What's up with this place? I'm thinking of contacting an attorney.
