Hickory Square Retirement Center, now called Rosehaven Retirement Residences, is a 55+ community at 108 West Hickory Street in Kaufman, Texas, and that's the place set up to offer a range of senior living options like independent living, assisted living, and memory care for people who need support with daily activities or help for cognitive problems like Alzheimer's and dementia, and they also have home care services where trained aides come to where someone lives, along with respite care if someone only needs a short stay. Residents can choose different room types, including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private units, and the staff can help with bathing, dressing, medication, moving from beds to wheelchairs, diabetic needs, and even incontinence care, with staff there 24 hours a day to handle emergencies. There are common areas indoors where people can socialize, take part in activities, or attend devotional gatherings, with meals prepared that aim to be nutritious and reduce how much time residents spend cooking, plus there are offsite trips and things planned to keep people engaged or moving about. They say they've won awards for care and friendliness, such as "Best of Senior Living" and "Most Friendly," and they've got a website with legal details and privacy policies so that people can look up what they need to know before scheduling a tour or visiting, and there's a map for visitors to use.
The ownership and management, including Laurie G. Harris, have had a history of serious problems, since there are reports and citations for abuse, neglect, theft, and assault against residents, and the facility has changed its name in the past to hide a negative reputation, with criminal activity linked to staff members and the Harris family, including connections to a convicted doctor involved in illegal drug activity. The state license for this place is 103527, though it's had legal actions like tax seizures, and the location is in an area known for high crime. There have been multiple incident reports about elder abuse, credit card fraud, and injury to the elderly or disabled, and people living there could be at risk for emotional distress, financial loss, or even identity theft. The facility keeps a structure of community fees, buy-in fees, and varying care costs based on each resident's needs, and they accept different forms of payment, like private funds, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and insurance, but there's also a serious history of violations that people looking at this facility should know about before making any decisions.
