    Great clinicians, but many problems

    I had a mixed experience. The doctors and nurses were wonderful - attentive, kind, professional, great care even during a late-night admission - and I'd recommend the ER and would go back for their clinical care. But I encountered unsafe issues (medication delays, a patient died after admission, COVID not treated), filthy rooms/poor housekeeping, a nightmare opaque billing office with unhelpful staff, confusing signage, and overall distrust of management.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews is mixed but leans toward strong praise for clinical staff and bedside care, paired with clear and recurrent concerns about housekeeping, administrative processes, and at least one serious safety-related complaint. Across multiple summaries, nurses, doctors, and other caregivers are consistently highlighted as a major strength: reviewers repeatedly call out nurses as kind, attentive, well-staffed units, responsive in emergencies, comforting to families, and inclusive to neurodiverse family members. The emergency department receives several positive mentions for being quick, professional, and recommendable, with specific clinical successes (for example, care for pericarditis) noted. The long-term care unit in particular was singled out as "excellent," "very clean," and "highly recommended," and general comments about small-town hospitality and friendly staff reinforce a pattern of strong person-to-person interactions and compassionate care.

    However, these positive clinical impressions are counterbalanced by multiple non-clinical and operational complaints that materially affect patient and family experience. Housekeeping and room condition emerge as a prominent negative theme: at least one reviewer described rooms as "appalling," floors as "gross and sticky," with visible debris or "stuff on the wall by the bed," unemptied garbage, and toilets not cleaned. This contrasts with the specific praise for the long-term care unit, indicating a possible variability in cleanliness or maintenance between units or shifts. Administrative issues are another recurring problem area: the billing office is described as a "nightmare," with complaints about price transparency and unhelpful billing staff that left a negative overall impression despite positive clinical care. Wayfinding and signage were also mentioned as problematic, with at least one reviewer noting the facility is hard to find or navigate.

    A small but important cluster of serious clinical concerns appears in the reviews. One reviewer reported medication delays and alleged the facility failed to treat COVID-19 as expected; another reported that a patient died after admission and expressed distrust of facility management and safety. These comments raise potential quality-of-care and safety questions that stand in stark contrast to many other reviewers' praise for clinical responsiveness. Because the majority of reviews praise staff competence and compassion, these adverse reports suggest isolated but significant incidents or perception gaps that could warrant further investigation by the facility.

    Notably absent from the summaries are comments about dining, activities, therapy programming, social engagement, or detailed descriptions of long-term care routines beyond cleanliness and staff demeanor. Where specifics are available, the strengths are primarily interpersonal (nursing, doctors, ER responsiveness, inclusivity), while weaknesses are operational (cleaning/maintenance, billing transparency, signage) and, in a few cases, serious clinical process concerns (medication delays, alleged failures to treat infectious disease, and a reported death).

    In synthesis, the dominant themes are: (1) strong frontline staff performance and compassionate clinical care, particularly in emergency and long-term care contexts; (2) inconsistent facility cleanliness and maintenance with at least one strongly negative report of room conditions; and (3) problematic administrative experiences centered on billing and signage that negatively affect perceptions of the facility. A comprehensive response to these reviews would focus on preserving the clearly appreciated strengths of clinical staff while addressing housekeeping/maintenance consistency, improving billing transparency and customer service, clarifying wayfinding signage, and investigating the specific clinical safety complaints to determine whether they reflect isolated incidents or systemic issues. This combined approach would align the operational experience with the high level of clinical care many reviewers describe.

    About Crook County Hospital & Long Term Care

    Crook County Hospital & Long Term Care sits at 713 E Oak St in Sundance, Wyoming, and it's operated by Crook County Medical Services District, making it a public facility where folks can get a range of health and supportive services without too much fuss. The main building's got a 16-bed hospital for emergencies and acute care and a 32-bed long term care facility for people who need more daily help. People living there get personal care plans after a careful assessment, so staff focus on what residents can do and give help with what they can't, covering things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and it all happens with respect, dignity, and compassion like they say in their philosophy. There's around-the-clock nursing from licensed nurses, licensed practical nursing assistants, and certified nursing assistants, and the place covers medical care, wound care, rehab, and specialized memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, giving supervision, memory-boosting activities, and secure spaces so everyone's safe. Seniors can stay there full-time or use respite care for a short break if caregivers need one, and there's also short-term rehab with "swing bed" care for people who need to get back on their feet between the hospital and home. Daily life's set up to give community engagement, with inside and outside common areas like gardens, daily activities, and events, and they've got meals tailored for diabetes and special diets, with kitchenettes, meals, and snacks, and the rooms come ready with cable, wi-fi, housekeeping, linen services, and even phones so nobody feels left out. Transportation's available for medical appointments, so no one misses seeing the doctor, and residents don't have to worry about getting someone to drive them. The hospital has a wellness gym, emergency room, and clinic all at the main campus for folks who need more than just long-term care, with the emergency department even certified for trauma cases. On the technology side, there's a patient portal for people who like to check things online or need to talk with staff, and coordination between care providers happens so nobody falls through the cracks. In addition to regular hospital and long-term care, services cover home health, lab work, radiology like X-rays and mammograms, surgeries from biopsies to gall bladder or hernia work, cancer therapies, cardiac and psychiatric care, and even outpatient services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and support with speech or swallowing. There's mental health outpatient clinics, preventative care, and vaccinations, supported by a fully equipped Advanced Life Support ambulance service, and they don't leave out smaller communities since they also run satellite clinics in Hulett and Moorcroft so everybody in Crook County can get some level of care. The administration focuses on affordable, convenient, and quality health services, and though the place is pretty complete, with healthcare staffing handled through something called Nursa for flexible shifts, there's never any promise that everything will be perfect, but the staff seem to work hard to keep people comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible.
