    Neglectful unsafe care avoid facility

    I put my mother in this facility and it was the worst decision. Staff were neglectful and uncaring-bed sores, malnutrition, delayed/cold meals, wet bedding, bruising, and medication errors that led to ER visits, respiratory distress and a CCU/hospice stay. Call lights went unanswered, contracted nurses didn't know patients, communication and billing were a mess, and management felt money-focused and dismissive. One nurse was truly compassionate, but overall it's unsafe; do not send anyone you love here.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment: The aggregated reviews portray a facility with highly mixed but predominantly negative experiences. Many reviewers describe serious quality and safety concerns — including allegations of physical abuse, neglect, medication errors, and poor infection control — while a minority report clean premises, meaningful activities, and examples of compassionate, even life‑saving, nursing care. The dominant themes are inconsistent staffing and care, poor communication, and management failures, creating an environment that multiple reviewers advise others to avoid.

    Care quality and safety: A large number of reviews allege neglect and unsafe clinical care. Specific complaints include bed sores, malnourishment, wet diapers or bedding left unchanged, and family members having to provide basic hygiene like baths. Several reviewers report medication mistakes — including administration of the wrong drug and changes from PRN to scheduled dosing — which are said to have caused respiratory distress, fluid back‑up in the lungs, ER visits, and hospitalizations. There are also mentions of inadequate infection management and at least one reviewer reporting a resident ending up in a CCU due to lack of proper care. These reports suggest systemic problems in clinical oversight and patient safety procedures.

    Staff behavior and staffing patterns: Reviews consistently cite understaffing and the use of contracted nurses unfamiliar with residents, contributing to poor care continuity. Many accounts describe unprofessional and uncaring behavior: staff yelling at or ignoring residents, refusing to communicate, and being dismissive toward families. There are multiple allegations of racism and at least one report that the administrator was suspended for abusive remarks toward patients. Conversely, several reviews single out individual staff members as compassionate, responsive, or excellent — indicating significant variability in staff competence and empathy across shifts or units.

    Communication, administration, and billing: Families report frequent communication breakdowns. Examples include not being told where a resident is located, being kicked out or discharged without proper paperwork, disputes over billing and insurance, and mail misdelivery. Reviewers also describe management as money‑focused and poorly responsive to concerns. These administrative failures compound clinical problems by delaying interventions, confusing families, and in some cases precipitating transfers to other facilities or legal action.

    Dining, dignity, and daily life: While the building is described by some as clean and activities are provided, many reviews raise concerns about the daily living experience. Complaints include delayed meals, cold leftovers, malnutrition, and a loss of resident individuality — with reports of residents being dressed in others' clothing. Such details point to deficits not only in clinical care but also in routine personal care and respect for residents’ dignity.

    Notable patterns and risks: Several reviewers describe the same types of failures: understaffed shifts, contracted nurses unfamiliar with routines, inaccessible call lights for nonverbal or hearing‑impaired residents, and families stepping in to provide essential care. Reports of medication errors leading to serious medical events, combined with allegations of physical abuse and neglect, elevate the level of concern from poor service to potential harm. The combination of administrative dysfunction (billing disputes, improper discharges) and management issues (alleged focus on money, suspended administrator) suggests systemic problems rather than isolated incidents.

    Conclusion and recommendation: Based on the review summaries, the predominant experience appears to be poor and inconsistent clinical care with substantial safety and dignity concerns, offset by a smaller set of positive reports about individual staff or specific aspects of the facility. Potential residents and families should exercise caution: verify staffing levels, ask for detailed medication and care protocols, request references from current families, check inspection and complaint records, and observe multiple shifts in person before making placement decisions. The reviews collectively recommend avoiding the facility unless there is clear, verifiable evidence of systemic improvements and reliable, consistent staff capable of meeting residents’ clinical and personal needs.

    About Nashville Community Care & Rehabilitation at Bordeaux

    Nashville Community Care & Rehabilitation at Bordeaux sits on County Hospital Road a little over three miles outside Nashville, Tennessee, in Davidson County, and the building's got an elegant look that goes back to the 1800s, showing it's been around a long time, with services starting in 1967. The place is part of the Signature HealthCARE network and offers long-term care, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. It's classified as a skilled nursing facility and accepts all sorts of payments, including Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, private pay, and insurance. There are 419 units, including assisted living units and skilled nursing beds, with the most recent count showing 217 occupants, so it's a big community, but things can change with the admits and staff.

    The property has landscaped grounds and a park-like campus, with courtyard and gardens, walking paths, and even a wellness program. Residents can choose from several room layouts, whether they want a suite, a semi-private, or a one-bedroom arrangement, all with safety features like non-slip floors and private ADA bathrooms. There's housekeeping, cable TV, wifi, utilities included, and spaces like a library, theatre room, communal kitchen, spacious dining hall, and salon/barbershop, so people have plenty of places to spend their time. Room comforts include spacious closets, and there's an option for well-equipped studios or one-bedroom units.

    This facility gives medical care for high-need folks, so doctors and licensed nurses are always available. Services include heart care, speech therapy, occupational therapy, wound management, falls prevention, and diabetic support. Staff help with medication, personal care like bathing and dressing, moving around, eating, and special care for Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and other similar conditions. They also offer home health services, pain management, and post-acute care for people coming out of the hospital, plus regular assessments and customized care plans.

    The activities at Nashville Community Care & Rehabilitation at Bordeaux cover a wide range-arts and crafts, games, religious services since clergy are always on-site, cultural events, bingo, live music, and trips off-site. Residents can visit the hair salon, sit in the café, use a fitness center, relax in the game room, or enjoy all-day snacks and a pureed food menu if needed. Staff help with feeding, if necessary, and chef-prepared meals are part of the daily routine.

    Special services include family outreach, counseling, and regular meetings with resident and family support. Pets are welcome, and the menus consider memory care needs. Safety features go beyond just the rooms-they've got parking, walking trails, and fall management classes as well. There's always staff around, so help is never far, and they accommodate many long-term and complex needs.

    The facility has been licensed and certified by Medicare and Medicaid, but it's fair to mention that oversight has been ongoing. There have been penalties and past suspensions of new patient admissions, with state monitors checking on things and citations for some administration and resident rights violations, and that last suspension happened back in 2007. The operator, Signature HealthCARE, works on a lease and the facility is subject to state rules and can face further reviews if needed. All these facts together show it's a big, long-standing place that takes in a wide range of folks with medical and care needs, and it's had attention from both families and regulators over the years.
