My mother-in-law was a resident of Rowan Court for more than five years. Overall, she received good care. However, when she recently passed away in the hospital, we contacted Rowan Court to say we would be in the next day to clean out her belongings. When we arrived, someone else had already moved into her room. No one seemed to know where her belongings had been moved to. When they were finally located, we were dismayed to see that her clothing, letters, photos, crucifix etc had been carelessly dumped into garbage bags near their loading dock. This was very upsetting. Additionally, all of the framed family photographs had been removed from the wall of her room and no one knew where they were. My husband expressed his outrage to the current administrator, who merely rolled his eyes in response. It is unfortunate that the end of my mother-in-law's life was treated with such disrespect but more unfortunate that the head administrator could have mitigated the damage by just apologizing. Instead, however, he chose to remain defensively silent. He sets the tone for his organization and this too also unfortunate.
