    Dirty negligent facility caused death

    I placed my mother here and it was horrific. The place was filthy - fruit flies, a constant horse-stall smell on the 2nd floor, dark dingy halls, rooms not cleaned, mattress in a bathroom, burned-out bulbs never fixed and no Purell. Staff were rude, poorly trained, and frequently left residents unattended for hours; nurses and supervisors were negligent and failed to check my mother's catheter, she went into septic shock and died. Management should be ashamed - high turnover, cold food, unprofessional attendants; not recommended.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is overwhelmingly negative, with multiple reviewers describing serious failures across clinical care, cleanliness, staffing, and management. The strongest theme is poor and unsafe medical care: reviewers allege inadequate nursing attention and supervision, failures to monitor catheters, and at least one reported progression to septic shock and death. Several reviewers explicitly describe their experiences as negligent and even characterize the facility as dangerous for vulnerable residents.

    Staffing and training problems are another consistent concern. Reviewers report high staff turnover and say many staff are insufficiently trained or uncaring. That combination is linked in the reviews to residents being left unattended for long periods and to perceived declines in care quality. While a very small number of individual employees are singled out for praise by name (Monay and Danielle), these positive mentions are exceptions in an otherwise critical narrative about staff behavior, which includes allegations of rudeness and insulting treatment of residents.

    Facility hygiene, maintenance, and environment are repeatedly criticized. Comments note persistent bad odors (notably on the second floor), fruit flies, rooms that are not adequately cleaned, a mattress stored in a bathroom, and minor maintenance items left unfixed (for example, a burned-out light bulb never replaced). Reviewers also report lack of basic infection-control supplies in rooms (no Purell/hand sanitizer), which compounds concerns about cleanliness and safety. The facility is described as old, dark, and dingy — an environment several reviewers find depressing or unacceptable for long-term care.

    Dining and daily-living concerns are also mentioned. Multiple reviewers describe cold or poor-quality food and insulting remarks about the food, adding to the impression of neglect and disrespect for residents’ dignity. One positive note is that an attendant helped a family member to their car — indicating that some staff do provide helpful, hands-on assistance — but such incidents are framed as exceptions rather than the norm.

    The physical layout and scale of the facility are noted as problematic by some reviewers: it is described as a "huge" facility with long hallways that are difficult to navigate, which made it a poor fit for at least one reviewer’s needs. COVID-related visitation restrictions are also cited as an aggravating factor that prevented families from observing conditions or intervening during critical moments.

    Finally, reviewers express strong dissatisfaction with management and oversight, calling for shame and even closure in extreme cases. The volume and severity of complaints — ranging from cleanliness and food to alleged medical negligence and deaths — create a pattern that reviewers interpret as systemic rather than isolated incidents. In summary, these reviews portray Greens Nursing & Rehab Center as a facility with serious and multiple areas of concern (clinical care, staffing, hygiene, maintenance, and management), punctuated by a few isolated positive staff interactions but dominated by descriptions of substandard and potentially dangerous conditions.

    About Greens Nursing & Rehab Center

    Greens Nursing & Rehab Center cares for people needing skilled nursing, assisted living, rehab, and memory care, so folks who stay here can get a mix of treatments depending on what they need, and there's a separate building for assisted living called the Regent of Lyndhurst, which lets residents pick the style of support that suits them best, whether that's more independent or with daily care. The facility has 160 certified beds with about 140 people living there most days, and there are both private suites with bathrooms, or semi-private ones with privacy walls and shared baths, with each room featuring Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchenettes, and call buttons for safety, while the building also keeps safety top-of-mind with a full sprinkler system.

    Everyone living here can use community spas, a fitness room, movie theater, library, and game and activity rooms, and the center organizes group activities, arts and crafts, movie nights, and walking paths so there's always something to do and plenty of ways to spend time with others, plus private dining rooms are available for special occasions if families come to visit. The campus includes two large courtyards and outdoor spaces, along with community-sponsored and resident-run events, aiming to make daily life feel engaging and comfortable, and there's support for getting around with transportation options.

    Folks who need therapy will find a rehab gym with new equipment, expert therapists on staff for physical, occupational, and speech needs, and the team can help manage things like post-stroke recovery or ongoing conditions, and if someone needs dialysis, the renovated unit has eight bright chairs, in-room cafe seating, and scheduling meant to cut wait times down, plus the staff pays close attention to infection control, pressure sore prevention, and other health risks. Staff include RNs, LPNs, and CNAs who work up to 12-16 hours shifts to cover daily supervision, help with activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and build personalized care plans for every resident, so there's some effort to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

    Memory care happens in a secured unit with a certified dementia practitioner, and there's structured programming for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, though the focus runs more on keeping people comfortable and active than promising cures or fast solutions. Residents get regular evaluations for risk factors like mobility, weight, pain, depression, and infection, and staff keep an honest record of things such as how many folks need more help over time, who develops pressure sores, and those who deal with depression, anxiety, or pain, so care plans can be adjusted if someone's needs change.

    Other healthcare services include pulmonary rehab, renal care like dialysis, psychiatric support, and therapy for speech or swallowing, with help for daily routines tailored to each person, while outside providers come in for dentistry, vision, podiatry, and audiology. Vaccines for flu and pneumonia are given, and there's social work for families who have questions or want to make plans. The center has both short-term rehab and longer stays, with occupancy at about 88% most of the time and staffing to match. There've been issues with health surveys in the past, but those were addressed, and Greens Nursing & Rehab follows Medicare and Medicaid rules. The for-profit owners run more than one nursing home, but there're family councils and resident meetings to keep people involved in decisions. All in all, Greens Nursing & Rehab Center tries to balance a range of healthcare and living supports, offering different room types, therapy options, social events, and specialized care to fit varying needs as residents age.
