    Warm caring professional nonprofit care

    I placed my mother here and have been very pleased - the staff are warm, caring and professional, the facility and rooms are sparkling clean, and the physical/occupational therapy, recreation and chapel services are exceptional. Admissions and social work were responsive, my mother is happy and comfortable, and I feel confident recommending this well-run, faith-friendly nonprofit.

    Summary of reviews

    These reviews present a mixed but consistent set of themes. Many families and visitors describe strong clinical and rehabilitative strengths: attentive nurses and therapists, an effective physical/occupational therapy program, and a welcoming spiritual environment anchored by a well-maintained chapel and regular faith-based services. Several accounts single out social-work support, certain admissions experiences, and custodial staff as positive contributors to day-to-day life. The facility offers a variety of activities and recreation programs that some residents find engaging, and amenities such as a café and lounge contribute to a homelike atmosphere for some guests.

    At the same time, a recurrent operational pattern emerges around staffing and consistency. Multiple reviewers cite low staff-to-resident ratios and long wait times for assistance, which families connect to lapses in responsiveness to call bells, inconsistent bathing and incontinence-care practices, and delays in addressing acute needs. These staffing challenges appear to affect both medical care processes (medication delivery and communication about medication changes) and routine supports (feeding assistance, timely toileting, and supervision for residents with cognitive impairment). Several families expressed concern about the facility’s suitability for long-term dementia care, citing inconsistent attention for non-verbal or memory-impaired residents.

    Cleanliness and facility-condition comments are polarized. Many visitors praise clean rooms, orderly common areas, and an overall tidy presentation; others raise sanitation and odor concerns on particular units, instances of mold or unclean bathrooms, and equipment or floor-hazard issues. Security and personal-asset controls are another area of concern: there are allegations of missing personal items and weaknesses in how belongings are tracked and protected. At least one family referenced regulatory complaints and investigation as part of their interaction with the facility.

    Dining and activities reflect similar variability. Some reviewers commend nutritious, well-presented meals and active social programming, while others find menu execution inconsistent and the food bland or mismatched to posted menus. The recreation department and religious programming are cited as strengths by many, but other families want more culturally varied or cognitively appropriate activities for residents with dementia.

    Management and communication show a split pattern. Several families describe responsive leadership, prompt issue resolution, and clear coordination during admissions and discharge planning; others report poor follow-through, long delays in physician contact, inconsistent physician communication, and concerns about the tone or conduct of specific staff or administrators. Change of ownership and organizational transitions were mentioned as perceived contributors to declining consistency by some families.

    Overall, the facility demonstrates clear strengths in rehabilitation services, faith-based programming, and pockets of strong staff performance. However, persistent themes of understaffing, inconsistent care responsiveness, medication and belongings management gaps, and uneven cleanliness suggest areas to evaluate closely when considering placement. Prospective residents and families should assess current staffing levels, security and personal-property safeguards, medication-administration protocols, and the facility’s experience with long-term dementia care, and they may wish to speak directly with therapy, nursing leadership, and social work to confirm how the facility addresses these operational weaknesses.

With a capacity of 264 beds, St. Patrick’s Home is considered a very large facility, serving a diverse population of residents through both Medicare and Medicaid participation. The facility is not affiliated with a continuing care retirement community, focusing instead on providing specialized nursing care and rehabilitation services.

    Residents at St. Patrick’s Home receive an average of 3 hours and 32 minutes of nurse staffing per resident each day, which includes assistance with medical needs such as medication administration as well as daily non-medical support such as dressing, eating, and bathing. Efforts are made to enable residents to maintain their ability to move, eat, and use the bathroom independently, with a reported 82.5% of residents able to care for themselves during their stay. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on preventive care, as nearly all residents—97.8%—received their annual influenza vaccination.

Approximately 45.8% of these residents are able to return home following their rehabilitation.
