    Neglectful, dirty, unsafe nursing home

    I believed this place would be great, but my experience was awful. Staff were indifferent, rude and unprofessional, calls went unanswered, equipment was nonfunctional, and the facility was dirty. Residents suffered neglect, infections, and even hospice-level decline and death with no compassion - it felt unsafe. I cannot recommend this facility and believe it should be shut down.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is highly polarized but leans strongly negative based on the review summaries provided. A large cluster of comments allege serious quality and safety problems: neglect, inadequate clinical care, infections, hospice usage, and even deaths. These are among the most severe concerns raised and indicate that multiple reviewers perceive significant failures in basic medical and nursing care. Such allegations suggest potential lapses in infection control, monitoring, timely clinical intervention, and end-of-life coordination.

    Staff-related issues are a dominant theme. Many reviews describe staff as rude, unprofessional, indifferent, and lacking compassion. This extends to reports of poor manners and a general impression that caregivers "don't care about patients." Communication failures are frequently cited — phone calls not answered and messages not returned — which amplifies family frustration and raises concerns about responsiveness and transparency. Conversely, at least one review emphasizes strong leadership and that the facility cares about staff and residents, indicating inconsistency in staff performance or the possibility of differing experiences across units or time periods.

    Facility condition and available equipment are other recurring concerns. Reviews mention a dirty environment, nonfunctional equipment, and the absence of basic amenities such as a working TV. Combined with reports labeling the environment "unsafe," these points suggest maintenance and housekeeping issues that could affect resident comfort and safety. The phrase "shutdown demand" appears in the summaries, reflecting that some reviewers feel problems are severe enough to warrant closure or regulatory intervention.

    Transitions and training also emerged as a problem area: reviewers report "zero home training," implying inadequate discharge planning or instruction for families when residents return home. When paired with poor communication, this deficiency could lead to unsafe transitions and increased caregiver burden. There is essentially no mention of dining or activities beyond the lack of TV, which implies either that those areas were not a focus for reviewers or that they are insufficiently addressed.

    Taken together, the reviews present a pattern of serious and multifaceted concerns: clinical care gaps (including infection and adverse outcomes), negative staff attitudes and inconsistent professionalism, poor communication and responsiveness, substandard facility cleanliness and equipment issues, and inadequate discharge training. The presence of at least one strongly positive review praising leadership and recommending the facility introduces a notable inconsistency; this could reflect improvements made at certain times, variability between units or shifts, or a minority of experiences that were markedly better. Given the severity of the negative reports — especially those alleging neglect, infections, and deaths — the reviews warrant careful follow-up and verification through regulatory inspections, direct inquiries to management, and corroborating feedback from additional family members or official complaint records to determine whether these are isolated incidents or evidence of systemic problems.
