Care with Aloha

I'm shocked when I read the reviews, because I thought this is where I would love to have my mom and dad. Eric the owner and Elaine the manager seemed to be really nice people. But I was fooled by both of them. After giving the previous group home the 30 day notice to move out my mom, had reserved the bed, they both decided 10 days before the move out date, to back out. The manager decided to assess my mom 10 days prior to the move out date. I got a call that my mom wasn't talking. The manager asked if my mom talks. If she didn't talk, I would have mentioned something in the beginning. My mom speaks Spanish, but will say some words in English and understand when asked "how are you?, what's your name?, who is the president?," etc. But the lead told the manager my mom only spoke Spanish. Complete lie. Another thing I found out was the manager asked a lot of questions about me. She asked someone who I've had issues with since Feb, abused my mom by forcing medicine down there throat, mocking my mom that I was going to show, etc. The manager believed whatever that lead had to say to her about my mom and myself. I didn't know it was a crime to care about your LO. So their decision to not admit my mom was due to my mom only speaking Spanish. SMH That's discrimination! With the excuse that Medicaid sees it as an issue? I spoke with 3 other group home owners and they said that should never be an issue. Even a social worker from Aging and Disability said that's not true.
But even after all this ordeal, the stress you put me through to find another group home for my mom (thankfully in less than 2 days), I'm just so glad she isn't a resident in your home. Things happen for a reason. Everyone was pretty shocked when I told them what had happened. But again, I see it as God or the universe didn't want me to place my mom there.
