My mother has middle stage dementia and was staying at Saunders House for a few months to recover from a leg injury. She was on the sub-acute unit and supposed to be recieving PT and OT. The entire 2 and a half months she was in the building, she never once was gotten out of bed except for PT and OT, which she only recieved every other day. The aides were rude and did not know how to handle a person with dementia. They refused to bathe her the entire time she was there, and when she did not recieve PT and OT, she was left in her room, in bed, and not one person outside of our family would visit with her. She was never once offered a seat in the dining room, and was never once taken to an activity even though I made a point of telling the activities girl that she likes anything with music, and she loves to exercise.\r

This place came highly recommended to me, and I am severely disappointed with the care my mother recieved. I would most certainly say she was neglected. 2.5 months without a bath says it all. If you care for your loved one, DO NOT put them here.
