    Understaffed facility caused neglect, death

    I placed my loved one here and, despite a few friendly staff (Terri, Julia, Jayne) and a pleasant building/activities, the care was dangerously inconsistent. The facility is severely understaffed-calls ignored, buzzers unanswered, wound care and BiPAP orders missed for days, basic hygiene neglected (feces on bed/floor reported), and meals often cold or inedible. Communication was poor, admissions intrusive, and my family had to beg for care; the patient was left unattended, later hospitalized in the ICU and ultimately died. I would not recommend this place - zero stars.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is sharply mixed but leans heavily toward serious concerns about clinical care, staffing, hygiene, and communication. A subset of reviewers report genuinely positive experiences — praising aides and certain nurses by name, noting a pleasant physical environment, active programming, decent meals on occasion, and measurable rehab/mobility improvements. However, an equally large and vocal group describes repeated and sometimes severe care failures, producing a bimodal pattern: some residents and families are very satisfied, while others report neglectful or dangerous care.

    Care quality and clinical safety are the most frequently cited problems. Multiple reviewers describe unattended patients, long delays for bathroom assistance, ignored call buzzers, and explicit neglect of clinical tasks such as dressing changes and wound care (including exposed wounds and skipped dressings). There are alarming, specific clinical incidents reported: BiPAP orders not followed for days, resulting in respiratory compromise and transfers to the ER or ICU; charting confusion about respiratory and other orders; missed medications (including a report of Ozempic not given); and delayed or inadequate responses to emergent needs. Several reviews recount extreme harm — hospitalization, ICU stays, prolonged suffering, or death — and many families describe having to repeatedly advocate or "beg" for evaluations and interventions. End-of-life care and hospice implementation are also criticized for lack of comfort and compassion in some cases.

    Staffing and personnel issues are a major recurring theme. Reviewers repeatedly state the facility is short-staffed, relying heavily on agency personnel and experiencing high turnover. These staffing shortages are linked by reviewers to poor monitoring, missed care, and long waits. Contrasting accounts frequently appear: many people single out specific aides or nurses as excellent, compassionate, and attentive, while others describe the nursing staff as disinterested, inattentive, or inexperienced — even using phrases like "fake nurse." Reports of staff sleeping at a desk and of nurses being absent from the unit during visits deepen concerns about supervision and staffing adequacy. Positive comments often emphasize individual caregivers by name (Julia, Jayne, Terri) and describe prompt, helpful interactions, indicating that care quality may depend heavily on which staff are on duty.

    Communication and management problems come up often and aggravate the clinical issues. Families report poor follow-up, unreturned calls, lost paperwork/forms, and staff who are not informed about patient orders. Some reviews allege intrusive or insensitive admissions behavior and even suspected attempts to cover up incidents. There are multiple accounts of belongings being mishandled or lost (flowers missing, rooms emptied, boxes left outside), which point to lapses in administrative care and respect. The combination of poor communication, lost documentation, and high turnover suggests systemic process problems rather than isolated staff failings.

    Facility environment, cleanliness, and amenities receive mixed feedback. Several reviewers praise the facility's appearance, cleanliness, and room decorations and report that activities are active and varied. Others recount serious hygiene lapses: feces found on floors, beds, and medical equipment; gnats in rooms; beds not changed; and general untidiness. Room size and layout are criticized by some (small, shared rooms, rooms far from nurse stations), while others find the rooms attractive and comfortable. The disparity suggests inconsistent housekeeping and uneven standards across units or shifts.

    Dining and therapies show the same polarized pattern. Some reviewers enjoy the food, mention grill cooking, and report decent meals; others describe food as cold, served in styrofoam, with poor quality and small portions. Therapy services are likewise uneven — a few reviewers report clear mobility improvements and good rehab care, while others report ineffective speech therapy, lack of physical therapy, or inadequate mobility assistance that left residents wheelchair-bound for extended periods.

    Notable patterns and risks: the most serious and recurrent negative themes are understaffing, missed critical clinical care (wound and respiratory management), poor communication, and hygiene failures. These patterns have, according to reviewers, directly contributed to harm in multiple instances (ER/ICU transfers, decline in condition, and at least one reported death with family describing insensitive handling). At the same time, consistent positive signals — named compassionate staff, reported rehab successes, active activities, and a pleasant physical environment — indicate that quality may vary widely depending on staff on duty, unit, or timing.

    Implications for families and decision makers: reviews suggest exercising caution and seeking detailed, specific information before placement. Key due-diligence steps based on review themes include asking about current nurse-to-resident ratios, agency staff usage, procedures for BiPAP and other respiratory orders, wound-care protocols, recent incidents and how they were addressed, measures for infection control and hygiene, how medication administration and consent are handled, and how the facility communicates with families. Visiting at different times/shifts, speaking with multiple families, and verifying who will be the primary caregivers can help prospective residents and families gauge whether they are likely to encounter the strong positive caregivers noted by some reviewers or the concerning patterns documented by many others.

    In summary, the review corpus paints a polarized picture: the facility can provide good, even excellent, care for some residents — especially when certain staff are present and therapy/rehab are consistent — but there are numerous, serious, and recurring reports of neglect, clinical lapses, poor hygiene, inadequate food service, and management/communication failures that have led to harm for other residents. These mixed reports point to variability in staffing, supervision, and processes; prospective residents should probe those areas thoroughly and monitor care closely after placement.
