    Beautiful facility, serious care inconsistencies

    I had a mixed experience. The building is beautiful and exceptionally clean, many staff are warm, professional and genuinely caring, therapy and admissions were helpful, and my mom settled in and seemed happy - which gave our family real peace of mind. However I also witnessed dangerous inconsistencies: understaffing, poor communication, medication delays, hygiene lapses, billing confusion and some unprofessional/neglectful behavior (including troubling racial comments), so I can't recommend it without insisting on clear staffing, med and billing safeguards up front.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is highly polarized: a substantial number of families and residents describe Home At Taylor's Pointe as a clean, welcoming, and well-staffed facility with caring front-line employees and an excellent therapy program, while an equally significant set of reviews report serious lapses in medical care, hygiene, staffing, communication and management. The pattern is not uniform — many reviewers praise specific staff members, new management, therapy teams, and the facility’s appearance; others recount alarming neglect, safety failures, and regulatory problems.

    Care quality and medical safety: Multiple reviews document troubling failures in clinical care. Reported issues include outright refusal or delay of medications (including denial of heart or diabetic meds until the next morning and evening meds delayed until 1:00 a.m.), removal of bandages without gloves, delayed diagnostic testing (a bladder test delayed by 1.5 weeks), poor wound care and development of bed sores, and at least one report of a resident left unresponsive and later dying. There are also accounts of nurses and hospice caregivers being unable to access patients because staff were not present or because they were locked out. Conversely, several reviewers describe excellent nursing and therapy — notably successful rehab transfers and positive PT outcomes — showing that clinical experience appears inconsistent and highly variable by shift, unit, or individual staff members.

    Staffing, responsiveness and behavior: Understaffing is a recurring theme, often paired with reports of inattentive or unprofessional behavior (staff sleeping on duty, aides sitting on phones, not doing rounds). Many accounts emphasize a strong day-shift or certain aides who are “wonderful,” while nighttime crews and weekend staff are criticized for causing fear and providing poor care. Communication failures are frequent: unanswered phone calls, reception desk unmanned, and families unable to reach staff. There are reports of rude or disrespectful employees, HR unprofessionalism, restrictions on family calls, and at least one allegation of racial slurs. However, multiple reviews also highlight staff who are compassionate, go out of their way, and create a supportive environment for residents and families.

    Facility cleanliness and environment: Review content is split. Numerous reviewers praise the facility as very clean, well-maintained, with pleasant smells and a resort-like atmosphere. Others report unhygienic smells, dirty hallways and common areas, spoiled food found with clothing, missing gowns, and lapses in laundry service. This contradiction suggests inconsistency in housekeeping practices or variable maintenance between wings or shifts.

    Operations, administration and policy concerns: Several reviews raise concerns about administrative practices. Allegations include a profit-driven or lazy administration, lack of transparency, confusing or unexpected billing (including an unexpected $5,000 charge), and reports that hospice providers were restricted or residents were forced to change hospice agencies—claims that one reviewer labeled as possibly violating Medicare guidelines. There are also reports of regulatory involvement: Ohio Department of Health findings and callers contacting the Board of Health, indicating that some complaints reached external oversight bodies. Positive comments exist about new management making sincere improvements, and some families explicitly praised administrative staff for being helpful during stressful times.

    Dining, laundry and daily living supports: Multiple reviewers praise the food and dining in some accounts, while others reported old food, no food provided to a patient, or food/objects soiled into clothing. Laundry and property issues surfaced repeatedly — gowns disappearing, dirty clothes returned, and spoiled items found in garments — which combined with hygiene complaints create concern about day-to-day personal-care operations.

    Safety, security and family experience: Numerous safety concerns appear: residents left unattended, allowed to leave unsupervised, aides unable to secure beds, staff locking out other staff, and calls unanswered. Families describe feeling misled by the facility’s outward appearance versus internal realities. At the same time, many families report feeling safe and grateful for the sense of community, family-like environment, and staff who provide reassurance and peace of mind.

    Notable patterns and practical implications: The reviews collectively suggest a facility with real strengths (caring individual staff, strong therapy programs, attractive facility and activities) that are undermined in many cases by systemic problems: inconsistent staffing (worse nights/weekends), lapses in clinical hygiene and medication administration, poor communication, and administrative/policy issues that can directly affect resident safety and rights. The presence of regulatory findings and direct reports of neglect, discriminatory behavior, and billing surprises should be taken seriously. Equally, recent positive comments about new management and marked improvements in some residents after transfer to other facilities imply that care quality may be changing over time or variable by unit.

    Conclusion: The aggregate picture is one of high variability — positive experiences are common and often highlighted, but the frequency and severity of negative reports (medical neglect, hygiene breaches, safety lapses, and administrative/communication failures) create substantial concern. Prospective families should probe specific operational areas before choosing this facility: ask about staffing ratios by shift, medication administration protocols, infection-control policies (PPE and hand hygiene), hospice and vendor policies, recent health department citations and remediation, laundry/property procedures, and billing practices. In-person visits at different times (day, evening, weekend) and direct conversations with current residents and families will likely provide the clearest sense of consistency and safety at Home At Taylor's Pointe.

    Home At Taylor's Pointe sits in Northgate, in Colerain Township, Cincinnati, Ohio, and offers skilled nursing care in a secure, protected setting, and the place is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) which means you see different levels of care depending on what people need, and they've got 92 certified beds, so it's neither too small nor too crowded, and families, or those thinking about moving in, will see they take both Medicare and Medicaid for financial accessibility, which helps folks who worry about paying for care. People can come for short-term rehab, longer stays, respite, or even hospice care, and if someone needs help with basic things like getting in or out of the shower, dressing, bathing, or even with some hygiene and hair needs, trained caregivers will assist, and the staff there pays attention to memory issues, like Alzheimer's or other memory loss, with special activities and extra security to keep residents safe from wandering off. Every day, there are group activities, games, music, pet therapy, art, and planned community events that help people connect and find something they enjoy, and there's outdoor space too, with well-kept walking paths and places for people to sit and enjoy fresh air, have a chat, or take part in outdoor programs. Fitness rooms and wellness programs are available for those interested in staying active, and they've got a therapy gym for rehab or just stretching, and a spa or steam room for relaxing when you need it, and if someone likes to read, the community book room and library are there, and there are plenty of spaces for arts, games, or even movies in the on-site theater. There's a dining room with three homemade meals a day, including things for diabetes or allergies, and people can gather for restaurant-style dining or eat all day if their schedule's different, and if transportation, move-in help, or parking are needed, those are available too. The rooms come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, TVs, telephones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and are furnished so people have what they need, and the staff handles laundry, housekeeping, and dry cleaning so residents don't have to bother. There are emergency alert systems, a 24-hour call system, and supervision around the clock, so people can feel safer and families know someone will help if needed. For those who enjoy being involved, there's also support for family involvement and a strong effort to keep everyone as connected as they want to be, and all the amenities and activities can be adjusted based on what each person needs, so some people might have more help or different activities than others, and visitors are encouraged to double-check what's available now, since things can change. The skilled nursing team offers medical services, including physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and they help with medication management and medical tasks for people who need it, whether they're there for a short time getting back on their feet or settling in for longer care. Home At Taylor's Pointe is well-rated at 3.6 out of 5 by reviews, and they've built what they call a Culture of Care, which means they want residents comfortable, connected, and feeling at home, and even though there's sometimes a bit of trouble getting online information, you'll often hear families and residents mention the caring team and the steady rhythm of daily life, filled with small, simple pleasures and plenty of company.
