SILVER SAGE ASSISTED LIVING OF BRENHAM

Beautiful facility and wonderful staff!!

My family member lived here for a few months. The director and nurse urged me to use Premier Housecalls with the purpose of putting my loved one on behavior medication. I was told that if I did not get him on medication that he could not stay. After about a month, my family member began sleeping all day, staying in their room, missing meals and quit bathing. For 3 weeks the director and nurse insisted that my loved one was “just old” “that’s just what they do”. I discovered that they had doubled my loved one’s medication WITHOUT my knowledge and WITHOUT a doctor’s order. I moved my family member as quickly as possible. The director stayed shut up in her office the day we moved. When I insisted on speaking to her, her only comment was that “she hadn’t done anything to my loved one” and that I owed another months rent because I hadn’t given 30 days notice. I would not recommend putting any family member here who cannot tell you what is going on. Had I not been as involved, I do not doubt that my family member would have deteriorated much faster than normal. My loved one lost muscle mass and weight which has not been regained. My loved one is currently in another facility and is not on ANY medication. If your loved one exhibits any symptoms associated with dementia, they are going to insist that you put them on psychotropic medication to “manage” them. My loved one had normal issues related to dementia, confusion, incontinence, needing redirection, etc. Rather than employing methods to help my loved one, they turned my loved one into a lethargic blob who slept all the time. Currently, my loved one is active, involved, conversational, and fully ambulatory affording him the ability to enjoy life. If you are considering placing someone here, I recommend that you check with Texas Health and Human Services regarding complaints, read reviews at seniorly.com and look on Indeed.com to read reviews posted by staff.

The caring staff at Silver Sage went above and beyond to care for my husband with Alzheimer’s disease. Their expertise and professionalism is exhibited by all shifts of staff members, day and night. The genuine loving care shown to my husband was equally shown to myself and family. It was very obvious that caregiving was not just a job to Silver Sage, but a passion. Silver Sage became a part of our family, helping us day to day and always ready to assist or listen to clients and visitors. I would leave Silver Sage feeling confident that my loving hubby was well taken care of and as I walked this unsteady path I was never alone in facing each new day. Thank You from the bottom of my heart Silver Sage💜
