    Caring staff, serious hygiene issues

    I had mixed feelings. Many staff were warm, friendly and attentive-good activities, visitors welcome, and my mom seemed comfortable-but I also saw serious cleanliness and infection-control problems (urine odor, nasty sheets, fungus in a cup) and signs of neglect (not helped to the bathroom, unexplained bruises, a bed sore). I appreciate the caring employees, but hygiene and safety issues need urgent improvement before I can fully recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these review summaries is mixed but consistent in two main themes: many reviewers report warm, attentive, and engaged staff and a pleasant environment, while a smaller but significant number report serious lapses in care and cleanliness that raise safety and infection-control concerns.

    Care quality and staff interactions receive the most frequent positive comments. Multiple reviewers describe staff as friendly, attentive, and willing to go out of their way to speak with residents and families. Several accounts note that residents seem well taken care of, that visits are encouraged, and that the atmosphere can feel warm and home-like. Volunteers are active and help lead activities like Bible study, games, and music, which contributes to social engagement. Some reviewers explicitly recommend the facility and describe it as a great place to work, indicating positive staff morale in parts of the organization.

    However, there are also serious and specific negative reports that cannot be overlooked. Several summaries recount incidents of neglect or mistreatment: residents not being helped to the bathroom, family-witnessed distress (crying), unexplained bruising, a swollen eye, and a bed sore attributed to failure to turn the resident. These are serious allegations that suggest lapses in basic nursing care and monitoring for at least some residents. Related to this are recurrent cleanliness and infection-control concerns: reviewers mention urine odor on furniture, fungus in a cup, nasty sheets, and explicit worries about COVID risk and hygiene standards. One review notes a pet cat roaming the facility, which raises additional sanitation and allergy concerns for some families.

    There is a clear pattern of inconsistency. Many reviewers praise the same categories of care — friendly aides, interactive staff, clean and orderly areas, good food, and organized activities — while other reviewers describe opposite experiences on these exact points. The presence of both strong positives (friendly, supportive staff; active programming; encouraged visitation) and severe negatives (neglect, bedsores, infection-control lapses) suggests variability by shift, unit, or resident case rather than uniformly excellent or uniformly poor performance.

    Facilities and programming are generally commended where reported: several reviewers describe nice facilities, clean and orderly spaces, games, music, and religious activities that engage residents. Dining is positively mentioned by some as “great food.” At the same time, the cleanliness issues noted above and the roaming pet comment indicate pockets where environmental standards fall short of expectations.

    In sum, the reviews paint a facility that can provide warm, engaging, and attentive care for many residents, supported by volunteers and activities that enhance quality of life. Simultaneously, there are multiple, serious reports of neglect, poor hygiene, and inconsistent staff performance that warrant attention. Prospective families and decision-makers should weigh both the positive staff culture and programming against the documented instances of inadequate care and cleanliness, and seek specific, current information from the facility about staffing levels, infection-control procedures, turning and toileting protocols, and how complaints or incidents are handled to understand whether the negative reports represent isolated incidents or ongoing problems.

    About Colonial Manor Nursing & Rehab

    Colonial Manor Nursing & Rehab stands out in the city with a 4-star Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services nursing home rating and an 8.1 out of 10 community rating, which makes it the highest rated in the area, and you can find comprehensive care here, whether someone needs skilled nursing, long-term support, assisted living, respite stays, or even specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care, so there's help for people at many different stages, and what really matters is that they have a 24-hour nursing staff, licensed CNAs for daily hygiene, physicians who make regular rounds, and trained teams for wound care, tracheostomy care, and medication management, so residents get the medical attention they need even if they don't require a hospital, plus the therapists provide physical, occupational, and speech therapies right on site for those wanting to recover or maintain strength and independence, and if someone needs hospice care, the facility partners with hospice providers to ensure comfort. People get to choose from studio room layouts in an environment that's more modern now due to recent renovations, though the buildings still keep a home-like feel, with wide hallways, wheelchair ramps, handrails, and outdoor spaces that encourage social time or light physical activity outside, and the safety of residents with memory issues is helped by the Wander Guard System, which uses care bands for monitoring, so families can feel a bit more at ease. The team here puts a lot of care into making individual plans for everyone, and there's a dietician who runs a dietary program for good nutrition, while a housekeeping crew keeps all rooms and common areas tidy and germ-free, which is very important, and laundry services are done in-house to prevent germs from traveling between rooms. Residents can see the licensed beautician or barber at the on-site salon for hair care and style, attend weekly religious services in groups or one-on-one, and join many group activities, since there's a focus on keeping everyone engaged and entertained, which helps with mental health, and a social worker is on staff to help residents and their families adjust or manage any concerns that come up along the way. Transportation is available if residents need to shop, go to doctor's appointments, or get to the hospital, and the staff works closely with primary physicians to make sure all medications are correct and handled on time. The facility offers special programs for rehabilitation and is known for good results in patient recovery, and they've managed to keep a COVID-19 vaccination rate above 60%, so there's some added protection for the people living there. With all these services-rehabilitative, long-term, daily medical, and activities for socializing-Colonial Manor Nursing & Rehab tries to create a place that feels secure, welcoming, and suited to the comfort and needs of its residents, especially as they age or recover from illness or injury.
