    Neglectful filthy understaffed nursing home

    I placed my mother here and it was a nightmare. Staff were rude, arrogant and grossly understaffed - meds were delayed, tests left unfinished, oxygen and supervision withheld, and poor monitoring contributed to UTI, pneumonia, clots and a post-discharge fall with a dislocated hip and rehospitalization. The building was dirty, foul-smelling, overcrowded (5-6 to a room), food was cold/expired, Medicaid residents isolated, and administration was dismissive and unhelpful - it felt like a cover-up. Physical therapy did help her get back on her feet in two weeks, but the overall neglect and incompetence mean I will not return and do not recommend this facility - 0 stars.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews is heavily negative, with a significant number of reports describing neglectful care, safety lapses, and poor facility conditions. Many reviewers recount serious clinical failures that required hospitalization (UTI, pneumonia, electrolyte issues, clots from delayed blood thinners) and incidents such as falls and a dislocated hip. At the same time, there is a recurring positive thread: several reviewers praise the facility's physical therapy and rehabilitation services, noting that some residents made strong recoveries and were discharged home quickly. This produces a polarized picture in which rehabilitation outcomes can be very good for some residents, while basic nursing care, safety, and environment are major concerns for others.

    Care quality and clinical safety emerge as central problem areas. Multiple accounts describe neglect (residents left soaked, meals and refusals not monitored), withheld or delayed treatments (oxygen not provided, blood thinners delayed), and incomplete clinical follow-up (UTI testing left undone). These lapses are tied to severe consequences in several reviews—hospital readmissions, clotting events, and worsening infections. There are also reports of supervision gaps that likely contributed to falls and post-discharge injuries. Conversely, a subset of reviews specifically credits the therapy team with getting patients "back on their feet," indicating that clinical therapy services may be functional even when basic nursing oversight is inconsistent.

    Staffing and staff behavior are recurring themes. Many reviewers report rude, arrogant, or dismissive attitudes from staff and administration. Understaffing is frequently cited and linked to distracted nurses and CNAs who are described as handling personal business at nurses' stations rather than attending to residents. Where neglect is reported—failure to change bedding, poor monitoring, or lack of responsiveness—reviewers attribute problems to inadequate staffing levels and poor staff training or selection. However, some reviewers explicitly praise individual staff members and certain shifts, underscoring substantial variability in caregiver competence and demeanor.

    Facility environment, cleanliness, and maintenance receive numerous complaints. Specific issues include foul odors (notably an exercise room that smelled so badly it caused vomiting), general dirtiness, and incidents of spoiled or expired food items. A severe heating failure was reported, with indoor temperatures reportedly falling as low as 40°F. Crowding and physical layout problems are also mentioned—reports of older facilities with crowded rooms housing 5–6 residents and a distinct wing for Medicaid residents that families were not shown. These environmental problems contribute both to resident discomfort and to perceptions of neglect.

    Dining and kitchen operations are criticized repeatedly. Reviews mention poor food quality (terrible food, cold meals), expired milk, and kitchen equipment failures (broiler outages). These issues are sometimes framed as symptomatic of broader management and maintenance problems rather than isolated incidents.

    Administrative and institutional concerns compound clinical and environmental problems. Families report unhelpful or evasive administration, allegations of cover-ups, and unannounced inspections. Some reviewers accuse the operation of being a "scam" and express strong distrust of management. There are also mentions of segregation of Medicaid residents and withheld access to certain wings, which raises equity and transparency concerns. A few reviewers, however, note that a new management team has brought improvement, suggesting that administrative changes could influence future quality.

    Patterns and final assessment: the reviews show strong inconsistency—some residents experience high-quality rehab and caring staff, while many others encounter neglect, clinical errors, and substandard living conditions. The most serious and recurring risks are lapses in basic nursing care and medication management, environmental hazards (smells, cold temperatures), and overcrowding/poor cleanliness. Given these patterns, families should exercise caution: probe staffing levels and turnover, request specific information about nursing oversight and incident reporting, visit multiple times and shifts to observe conditions, and verify how the facility handles medications, therapies, and clinical follow-up. The reports of a new team improving conditions are encouraging but anecdotal; prospective residents and families should seek current references, inspection records, and direct answers from administration before deciding.

    About Gardenview Manor

    Gardenview Manor sits in Tilton with 213 rooms spread across 74,800 square feet, and well, the place has been a steady option for folks needing ongoing medical help, since it works as both a regional nursing home and a skilled nursing facility for central Illinois and western Indiana, tending to individuals who need a mix of adult care, memory care, and rehabilitation. The building's got some newer remodeled wings, though you'll see spots that could use some updating if you look around, and residents and staff use a mix of city utilities, in-room PTACs, a central boiler system for heat, plus a heavy-duty commercial laundry and a kitchen set up for large-scale meals. For people who need more care, they offer short-term rehab for those coming out of the hospital, inpatient nursing for those who can't manage at home, intermediate care services, and skilled nursing for the highly dependent. There are amenities that keep things comfortable and accessible for folks at various stages, furniture and equipment suited for medical needs, and features to help with safety, especially if someone needs memory care or help getting around. The facility's got room for big or small changes, in case someone ever wanted to turn the place into apartments or even storage, and the staff provides guidance for families and people who want to understand long-term care. Based on 33 reviews, Gardenview Manor has a 2.5-star rating, so some like it well enough, though of course, some have things they'd like to see improved.
