    Caring staff but dangerous neglect

    I've seen tremendous swings here. Some nurses, CNAs and therapists (Keisha, Kristin and others) are caring, hardworking and run excellent activities, and meals/cleanliness have improved at times. But I've also witnessed dangerous neglect-delayed meds, repeated infections/MRSA, a stage-4 bedsore, feces/urine/garbage in rooms and hallways, theft and poor communication-so safety feels inconsistent. In short: great people and activities, but serious care and hygiene failures keep me from fully trusting this place.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is highly mixed, with strong, repeated praise for individual staff members and certain departments counterbalanced by serious, recurring clinical and safety concerns. Many reviewers highlight compassionate, hardworking nurses, CNAs, and therapy staff — several even name staff (e.g., Keisha, Kristin) and commend MedBridge therapy. The activity department receives consistently positive remarks for engagement and breadth of programming, and multiple reviewers note that staff often treat residents like family and keep families informed. There are also reports of meaningful improvements over time in appearance, meals, and general upkeep, and some families specifically praise the DON and NHA as invested in resident wellbeing.

    However, these positive accounts sit alongside alarming reports of neglect, infection control failures, and unsafe conditions. Multiple reviews cite unresolved MRSA, outbreak-related quarantines, repeated infections, and at least one report of a stage 4 pressure sore — all of which suggest serious lapses in clinical monitoring and infection control for some residents. Complaints of feces in showers, garbage and urine in hallways, and instances of rooms being ransacked or theft and privacy violations paint a picture of inconsistent environmental hygiene and security. Several reviewers described near-death or high-risk incidents and protocol violations, indicating that, for at least some residents and during some periods or shifts, the facility failed to deliver safe basic care.

    Staffing and operational consistency emerge as a major pattern explaining the polarized experiences. Numerous reviews praise individual employees and describe compassionate caregiving, while others note the use of agency nurses, delayed medication administration, poor responsiveness, and difficulty contacting nurses or the front desk. This suggests variability by shift, unit, or time — where committed permanent staff can deliver excellent care, but understaffing, reliance on agency staff, or managerial lapses produce dangerous inconsistency for others. HR and management receive mixed evaluations: some reviewers commend admissions, the DON and NHA, and management’s focus on resident happiness; others accuse HR of soliciting positive reviews or engaging in shady practices. This further supports a pattern of variable leadership effectiveness and cultural inconsistency.

    Rehabilitation and therapy are another area with mixed signals. Several reviewers explicitly praise therapy teams and report good outcomes and supportive MedBridge staff. Conversely, others complained of poor rehab and below-average care. The contrast may reflect differing clinical trajectories, variable therapist quality, or the impact of staffing inconsistencies on rehabilitation effectiveness.

    Dining and amenities similarly show polarized feedback: a number of reviewers rave about meals and say food has improved, while multiple others call the food horrible, cold, or the worst they’ve seen. Cleanliness and facility appearance receive both praise for being well-kept and harsh criticism for instances of filth and inadequate monitoring. Rooming concerns (crowded three-person rooms) were mentioned and may contribute to privacy, infection control, and comfort issues.

    In sum, the reviews suggest a facility with pockets of excellence — notably in therapy, activities, and among particular compassionate staff — but also with systemic, and at times severe, failings in clinical oversight, infection control, hygiene, security, and consistency of care. The pattern of contradictory reports points toward uneven care quality across shifts or units, possibly driven by staffing shortages, reliance on agency personnel, and management variability. Families considering this facility should weigh the strong testimonials about dedicated staff and engaging activities against multiple reports of serious safety and neglect incidents. Prospective residents and families would benefit from asking targeted questions about current infection control status, staffing ratios and turnover, how pressure wounds and infections are monitored and escalated, security measures to prevent theft and breaches of privacy, and recent improvements or corrective actions implemented by leadership.
