Country Place Senior Living of Canton - Mul

If you want a home cooked meal this is the place to go! Best Chicken Fried Steak I ever have had and the the pies are amazing too.

My mother is a resident at Country Place Senior Living of Canton, Mulberry. I should start by complimenting the cleanliness of the facility. They are obviously very concerned with aesthetics & focus their funds / attention to this area. However, the food has been an ongoing problem! They do not hire cooks who know how to cook for the elderly. Residents in their 80's & 90's, who were probably great "home cooking" cooks, want fresh foods like peas, cornbread, fresh vegetables, not to mention a varied menu that offers them choices. There are no provisions for vegetarians, so they are left to an occasional unseasoned vegetable & bread. Our family has brought fresh fruit numerous times in large bowls to be put out for all of the residents. That fruit is sometimes put back in the kitchen where the residents cannot have access. Overall, the meat is tough, vegetables are tastless & recently, portions are very small. Although we have tried to file complaints about the quality of the food, it has gone unheeded! Of greater importance is the manner in which these residents are spoken to . They are shouted at from across the room when not in compliance with mask wearing, without inquiring as to why they are not wearing one. They are told to shut their windows on nice, breezy days, although the Covid virus is not even spread in that manner. Communication is often used that demeans them & makes them feel like children that are to be scolded, instead of the valued & respected senior adults they are! My mother was recently told by an employee, after saying the blessing before breakfast, that " she needed to be praying because of the way she had been acting." It seems that they have forgotten who pays their salary & the love/ respect that these residents deserve, especially in this time of uncertainty . Please consider carefully before you allow your loved one to commit to this facility. As I mentioned earlier, aesthetically attractive, but grossly lacking in competent, caring & loving administration of duties by staff!
