    Dirty unsafe neglectful nursing home

    I experienced a dirty, unsafe facility with untrained staff (not nurses), poor hygiene and fire hazards, missing/soiled meals and diapers, and residents neglected or even stealing from one another. Medical care was mismanaged - forgotten orders, delayed referrals, poor communication, and belongings shoved in trash bags. A few staff were genuinely caring, but overall responsiveness and competence were so bad I cannot recommend this place; it needs to be shut down.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the review summaries is markedly mixed but skewed heavily toward negative. While multiple reviewers single out individual caregivers as compassionate, attentive, and treating residents like family, a larger number of summaries outline systemic problems with care quality, facility upkeep, and management. The most frequently mentioned concerns are poor or negligent care, inconsistent staff performance, and breakdowns in clinical and administrative procedures.

    Care quality and clinical concerns are prominent. Reviews describe missed meals, dirty diapers, residents being left unclean, and ongoing pain or declining health associated with delayed or forgotten medical orders such as neurology referrals. Several reviewers explicitly state this is not a nursing facility and note that staff are not nurses or lack knowledge of essential equipment (for example, oxygen machines), implying that residents' medical needs may not be met appropriately. These accounts suggest both routine neglect (missed meals, hygiene lapses) and clinical lapses (delayed referrals, forgotten orders) that have tangible negative effects on residents' health.

    Staff behavior and staffing patterns show a sharp contrast between individual-level praise and broader complaints. Many reviews praise specific caregivers as loving, watchful, and attentive; families express gratitude for those staff members. At the same time, numerous reviews report unengaged, rude, or inattentive employees, favoritism, and staff failing to perform duties. There are also troubling interpersonal issues such as residents stealing from other residents and reports of belongings being mishandled or bagged in trash bags. This pattern suggests uneven staffing quality and inconsistent supervision or accountability.

    Facility condition and safety are recurring themes. Multiple reviewers describe the building as old, dirty, and in disrepair, with explicit mentions of fire hazards and residents being generally uncared for in the physical environment. There are also specific safety concerns like dog safety and overall cleanliness problems. While some reviewers note the facility lacks modern trappings, the criticism is largely about maintenance, sanitation, and physical safety rather than aesthetics alone.

    Dining and daily living services receive negative feedback focused on repetitiveness and quality. Several summaries highlight that meals are repetitive, poor in quality, and that the same menu is served repeatedly. Missing meals were also reported, which compounds clinical concerns for vulnerable residents who rely on the facility for nutrition.

    Management, communication, and administration emerge as significant problem areas. Reviewers report poor communication with families, lack of up-to-date care plans, unhelpful medical providers, and perceptions of mismanagement or profit-driven motives. Some comments are severe enough to call for the facility to be shut down. These administrative complaints dovetail with clinical and staffing issues, indicating potential systemic failures in oversight, record-keeping, and leadership.

    Patterns and overall takeaway: the reviews present a polarized picture. A minority of reviewers praise certain staff and express satisfaction with individualized, family-like care. However, the majority of comments raise serious, recurring concerns about neglect, inadequate clinical capability, unsafe or unsanitary conditions, and poor management. The most actionable themes are inconsistent staff competence and compassion, lapses in medical and daily care (missed meals, hygiene failures, delayed referrals), and facility safety/maintenance issues. Based on these summaries, prospective residents and families should be cautious and seek specific, up-to-date information about staffing qualifications, clinical oversight, incident histories, and current facility conditions before making placement decisions.
