Eskaton Lodge Cameron Park

Amazing experince

My mother was placed in this Eskaton in 2016, and passed away in February 2018. During the time she was there she sustained approx. 10 falls, the last one face first on the bathroom floor, where she laid for some length of time before she was found with a fatal brain bleed. My sister had medical control of our mother, so any complaints or concerns I had were just seen as meddling. I was never called or informed of my mother's many falls, I would find out from my mother, or from a bandaged cut, or broken bone. In fact, as time went on, I felt entirely unwelcome there. I limited my visits to Sunday afternoons when I could avoid hostile staff... the Sunday staff was great. Small requests of mine were completely ignored. My mother lost a great deal of weight, and she didn't want to eat. I asked if she could have a protein shake for a snack. I was never given an answer. I asked if she could have a vitamin pill... her doctor refused to acknowledge me or my request. She never got either. Her death was by far the worst of it... because she was so frail, but wanted to get out of bed. She needed round the clock care during those final weeks, but didn't get it. I came in during evenings to find her alone, and/or blocked into her bed with furniture. She needed someone there, but only got it part of the time. I've worked full time in the medical field for 30 years. I know what my mother should have had, and I am so sorry I couldn't make it happen.

I placed my wife in Eskaton / Cameron Park a year ago. I can't say enough good about the facility. Staff, cleanliness, dining & food, Medical professionals. As the other review states; not the fanciest. But I give 5 stars!

Wonderful place for my mom. Not overly fancy but nice. Great caring staff that are so kind to everyone. Was so worried but my mom loves it.
