    Generally good but serious neglect

    I had an overall positive experience - clean rooms and grounds, very friendly, attentive and informative staff, great for family visits and making friends, and a peaceful end-of-life for my mom. That said, I was alarmed and deeply dissatisfied when my mom was left in soaked diapers with vaginal sores while her nurse was on vacation; I felt neglected. Despite that serious lapse, this is generally one of the better facilities in the area.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the provided reviews is predominantly positive, with multiple reviewers praising the staff, cleanliness, social atmosphere, and the facility’s handling of end-of-life needs. The strongest and most consistent themes are that staff are friendly, accommodating, caring, and attentive; that the property and resident rooms are kept very clean; and that some families experienced peaceful and supportive end-of-life care. Several reviewers describe spending quality time with family and residents forming new friendships, indicating a generally warm and social environment.

    Staff and communication: Many reviews highlight staff friendliness and helpfulness, and at least one review specifically notes that a nurse provided regular updates, indicating good communication practices in some cases. Caregivers are described as informative and accommodating, which contributes to families’ trust and satisfaction. However, there is a notable exception: one review reports a serious lapse in direct care while a nurse was on vacation. That report describes soaked diapers and vaginal sores and leads to a perception of neglect. This creates a mixed picture of staff performance—strong interpersonal skills and good communication are clearly present, but staffing continuity and consistent delivery of personal care appear to be vulnerabilities.

    Care quality and safety: The majority of commentary suggests good-quality care, especially around comfort and end-of-life support, where reviewers explicitly called the experience peaceful and caring. Contrastingly, the cited hygiene lapse is a critical safety concern: soaked diapers and untreated sores are significant clinical problems that point to potential failures in daily personal care routines, monitoring, and escalation. Because most reviews are positive but one calls out a serious neglect issue, the pattern suggests generally good care with at least occasional, impactful breakdowns in protocol or staffing.

    Facilities and environment: Reviews consistently praise the cleanliness of both the facility and individual rooms. The property is described as clean and peaceful, supporting positive resident and family experiences. The social environment is also noted as favorable, with comments about making friends and spending quality time with family, implying available opportunities for socialization and a supportive atmosphere.

    Activities, dining, and management: The supplied summaries contain limited or no direct information about dining quality or specific activity programs beyond general socializing and friendship formation. Management is indirectly assessed through staff behavior and the handling of care continuity; many comments reflect well on staff and, by extension, facility operations. The reported instance of perceived neglect during staff absence, however, suggests a management gap in ensuring adequate coverage and oversight when primary staff are unavailable.

    Patterns and recommendations to consider: The prevailing pattern is positive—friendly, caring staff; strong cleanliness; and supportive end-of-life care—tempered by at least one serious complaint about hygiene and staffing coverage. The most significant risk signal is inconsistency: when staff are present and communicating, families are satisfied, but when coverage lapses occur (for example, due to vacations or shortages), care can fall short of acceptable standards. Stakeholders reviewing these summaries should weigh the facility’s strong positives against the potential for occasional, but severe, care lapses. Further inquiries or monitoring about staffing backup procedures, hygiene protocols, and incident follow-up would be prudent to ensure the facility’s positive attributes are reliably sustained.

    About Pristine Senior Living and Post-Acute Care of Willard

    Pristine Senior Living and Post-Acute Care of Willard, also known as Willard Healthcare, sits in Willard, Ohio at 370 E Howard St and is linked with The Willows at Willard down the road on Neal Zick Rd, though they're separate places, but folks do sometimes mention both. This place offers several living options for older adults, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and post-acute care, so families looking for choices can find most things here under one roof. The assisted living services cover help with daily activities, medication management, housekeeping, meals planned and made by chefs, personal care, and transportation, while staff stay nearby when needed, and the independent living section lets residents enjoy an active retirement without worrying about upkeep since the staff handles that, which many find makes life easier.

    The skilled nursing section provides medical care around the clock, wound care, rehabilitation, and support for people who need help bouncing back from illness or surgery, and there's a special area just for memory care that has staff on duty all day and night, activities designed for memory improvement, and programs to help people with dementia or memory troubles feel safe and engaged. Staff help with incontinence and diabetic care and watch out for people who can't move around on their own. The place offers both on-site and off-site activities, including social events, devotional activities, and chances for residents to enjoy time with friends and family, and there are common spaces where neighbors can gather and talk.

    People also find a comfortable and supportive setup with different room types and amenities aimed for senior needs, with special programs for socializing, education, and entertainment. There's help available with decision-making, and staff guide families through care choices, plus they've been reviewed as having excellent service and hold a 5.0-star rating from a couple of reviewers. With an average reported price near $3,810, rates haven't been officially published, but many say the staff try to keep people satisfied and well cared for. The mission here says they want to help families make informed care decisions, and the team gives personalized attention, helps with benefits, and sets up activities for residents to form friendships and enjoy daily life.
