    Run-down facility, neglectful and unsafe

    I'm appalled. The facility is run-down, smells bad, and residents are treated without dignity - left in filth or wet clothes for long periods, floors uneven, and safety ignored. Staff seem uncaring or overwhelmed: I witnessed a nurse yell at a patient, sundowning ignored, delayed COVID and hospital notifications, and a serious medical incident that led me to file a formal complaint. A few staff are friendly, but overall I would not send a loved one here.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the provided reviews is strongly mixed but leans heavily negative. Multiple reviewers describe serious care failures—residents left in soiled or wet clothing, left unattended for extended periods (over an hour), and a general lack of timely staff response. These examples point to recurrent neglect issues rather than isolated lapses. Several reviews recount incidents that families found alarming enough to file formal complaints, and at least one review alleges a serious medical event (a heart attack) alongside concerns about how it was handled.

    Staff-related comments are polarized. Some reviews explicitly praise the staff as friendly, caring, and great, and several mention fun, engaging activities that residents enjoy. These positive notes indicate that parts of the caregiving team and activity programming can meet or exceed expectations. However, an equal or greater number of reviews report poor staff behavior, including verbal abuse (a nurse yelling at a patient), apparent indifference, and inadequate responsiveness. The juxtaposition of high praise and severe criticism suggests inconsistent staffing performance—some shifts or employees may provide excellent care while others fail to meet basic standards.

    Communication and management shortcomings are a recurrent theme. Families report not being informed when residents were taken to the hospital and delayed notification about COVID-19 cases. Poor communication extends to general family contact, leaving relatives feeling uninformed and excluded from important care decisions. Several reviews cite formal complaints, indicating that families attempted to escalate concerns through official channels but remained dissatisfied. Mismanagement of resident clothing and personal items is also repeatedly noted, contributing to perceptions of neglect and lack of dignity for residents.

    Facility conditions and hygiene are another major concern. Descriptions such as "stinks," "disgusting," "run down," and "floors not level" portray a facility with cleanliness and maintenance problems. These environmental issues reinforce worries about infection control, resident comfort, and overall standards of care. Complaints that residents are begging to get out and that dignity is not preserved further underscore the seriousness of the reported environment and care deficiencies.

    Activities and resident experience show some positive signals—comments about fun activities and residents who "love it here" indicate that when staffing and management align, resident life can be engaging and pleasant. Nevertheless, these positive experiences are contrasted sharply by the frequency and severity of the negative reports; the balance of evidence presented here suggests that positive experiences may be inconsistent and not universally shared by residents and families.

    In summary, the reviews reveal a pattern of serious operational problems (neglect, poor communication, hygiene and maintenance issues) combined with pockets of good caregiving and programming. The most significant risks reported are neglectful incidents, safety and medical-handling concerns, and poor family communication. Prospective families should be aware of this variability: ask direct questions about staffing levels, incident/notification policies (especially for hospital transfers and infectious disease reporting), observe facility cleanliness and maintenance, request references or speak to current families, and monitor care across multiple shifts to assess consistency. Management should prioritize addressing the safety, communication, and hygiene failures highlighted repeatedly by reviewers to reduce harm and restore family trust.
