    Filthy neglectful understaffed profit-driven facility

    I would not recommend this place. I removed my loved one ASAP after finding filthy, urine- and feces-smelling halls and rooms, staff who yelled or ignored residents, people left in urine for hours, infrequent showers, bedsores, delayed meds and medical care, and rude, unresponsive management. Scheduling, admissions and billing were a mess and safety was a constant concern, though rehab therapy and a few staff were competent. Overall a negligent, profit-driven facility - terrible experience.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is heavily mixed but leans negative, with a consistent pattern: the rehabilitation and therapy side of Green Park Senior Living Community receives substantial and repeated praise, while the long-term nursing/home care side is frequently described as substandard, neglectful, and unsafe. Many reviewers explicitly separate the facility into different experiences depending on unit and purpose of stay — short-term rehab patients and families often report good outcomes (notably strong physical therapy, measurable mobility improvement, and effective short-term recovery), while long-term residents and family members describe ongoing hygiene, staffing, and safety issues.

    Care quality and resident safety are the most commonly cited concerns. Multiple reviews allege neglectful practices, including residents being left in urine or feces for hours, infrequent showers, bedding and clothes not changed unless a family member asks, and bedsores or pressure ulcers developing from lack of repositioning. There are also serious reports of falls and major injuries, one account of a severe head injury followed by lack of family contact, and at least one reported death associated with poor oversight. Medication management problems appear in several reviews: delays in giving medications, disorganized medication administration, and charting/documentation failures. Wound-care deficiencies and infection risk (including reports of sepsis) were raised, and one reviewer indicated a bedpan with stool was left unattended — all of which point to systemic nursing and oversight issues in parts of the facility.

    Staff behavior and staffing levels are inconsistent across reviews. Some staff members are repeatedly described as friendly, caring, communicative, and knowledgeable — particularly in therapy and during some shifts — and several reviewers praise individual nurses, social workers, and admission staff. However, an equally strong vein of reviews reports rude, uncaring, or even mean behavior from staff; allegations that RNs are cordial to families but mistreat patients when unobserved; accusations of laziness and inattentiveness; and loud, disruptive night staff. Short-staffing is a recurrent theme (weekends and nights highlighted), and reviewers describe aides being unavailable, slow nurse responses, and families having to intervene to provide basic care such as feeding or cleaning. Staffing inconsistency appears to be a major driver of the polarized experiences reported.

    Facility conditions are described inconsistently but concerningly. Several reviewers praise cleanliness — especially in the rehab wing — and note modern pandemic disinfection efforts, clean private rooms, and handicap-accessible showers in some areas. Conversely, many other reviews describe dingy rooms, strong persistent smells of urine and feces, floors not mopped, sticky and urine-covered floors, and overall poor housekeeping. Reviewers note that some buildings or wings are well-maintained while others are neglected, suggesting uneven allocation of cleaning or maintenance resources. Families also report overcrowded rooms in some cases, and wealth-based disparities in room quality and attention are mentioned.

    Dining and activities receive mixed comments. The rehabilitation program and some residents report decent or good food and three meals per day; in-room dining is cited as a safety measure during the pandemic. Yet numerous reviewers call the food awful, report long lunch waits, and indicate that activities are repetitive or inadequate for long-term residents. Several families note that management and activity staff rarely engage residents in meaningful programming or celebration of events (for example, not celebrating holidays), and social workers who promise follow-through sometimes fail to deliver.

    Management, administration, and regulatory matters are another consistent concern. Many reviewers say complaints to management produce little change, and some describe an unresponsive administrator. Specific administrative failures are reported, including Medicare paperwork and billing mistakes. A few reviews mention state involvement or regulatory visits, and some reviewers urge prospective families to avoid the facility entirely. At the same time, occasional accounts mention an open-door administration and improvements over time, which again reinforces the impression of uneven performance depending on leadership, unit, or timeframe.

    Notable patterns and takeaways: (1) Rehabilitation/therapy services are a clear strength — several independent reviewers praise PT/OT outcomes and progression — and the rehab units are often described as cleaner and better staffed. (2) The nursing-home/long-term care side has numerous, repeated allegations of neglect, hygiene issues, and safety lapses that have led multiple families to remove residents and warn others. (3) Experiences vary widely by unit, shift, and specific staff; positive and negative reports can exist simultaneously, implying inconsistent staffing, training, supervision, and administration across the campus. (4) Administrative shortcomings (billing, paperwork, complaint resolution) compound clinical and operational problems. (5) For families considering Green Park, the risks appear greatest for residents requiring complex nursing care, dementia care, or 24/7 oversight; by contrast, short-term rehabilitation stays may produce favorable outcomes if one is placed in the well-reviewed therapy units.

    In summary, the reviews paint a facility with a dichotomous reputation: a respected rehabilitation program and pockets of genuinely caring staff exist alongside recurring, serious complaints about neglect, poor hygiene, inadequate nursing care, and poor management responsiveness. Prospective residents and families should weigh the strong rehab credentials against repeated safety and neglect concerns on the long-term care side, ask specific questions about which building/unit and staff will provide care, check regulatory records, and, if possible, tour the exact area where care will be delivered and speak with current families before deciding.

    About Green Park Senior Living Community

    Green Park Senior Living Community sits at 9350 Green Park Rd. in Saint Louis, Missouri, and offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and different levels of care for seniors, including a dedicated Alzheimer's and Dementia unit along with short-term and long-term care options, and while the community provides on-site services such as VA aid assistance, outpatient clinics, and therapy programs like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, the facility also helps residents with personal needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and daily activities, with nurses and aides on staff part-time, and some staff have specialized training and ethics education, though recent government reports point out that the facility falls below average on staffing, and residents often wait longer for help than they should have to.

    They've got amenities like a movie theater, fitness room, gardens, enclosed courtyards, and outdoor walking paths, plus activities like music programs, movie nights, community-sponsored entertainment, and religious services, but many residents and families have said the activities are repeated and rarely meet requests or preferences, and feedback from review sites rates both the staff and activities below average-with the staff at 2.1 stars and the activities at 1.8, with complaints about staff not treating residents with enough respect or providing timely care.

    Green Park Senior Living Community accepts check, credit card, insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid payments, with financial aid available, plus home sale assistance and programs for low-income families like Meals on Wheels, and it's certified by Medicare and Medicaid, though multiple state and federal citations have been issued over several years for serious health violations, unsafe and unclean conditions, lack of pest control for mice and insects, poor food quality, unsafe food temperatures, and failure to properly report abuse or neglect, with government inspections and independent reports noting longstanding issues in medical care, wound management, and resident engagement.

    There are rehabilitative programs, round-the-clock supervision, healthy dining options including special allergy and diabetes-friendly meals, private and shared rooms with bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, and nurse or physician-supervised care for complex needs, including hospice and respite programs for those who need them, but inspection records show recurring problems with food preparation, lack of allergy accommodations, and frequent complaints about the taste and quality of food, so while the facility connects with major health providers like Providence Portland Medical Center and has a range of specialized clinics and language support for many languages, it's faced fines for care quality issues, and Medicare.gov lists the facility with the lowest possible rating, citing 187 complaints and a long history of poor performance in areas like patient safety, medical response, and pest management.

    Skilled nursing, medical management, injury prevention, wound therapy, medication reminders, 24-hour call systems, and personal assistance with transfers and mobility come standard, with aides, nurses, and therapists on the team, and services tailored to residents' needs, and while there's a certified dietitian, social workers, and concierge staff on hand for support and daily living needs, inspection reports have recorded repeated failures to maintain adequate care, sufficient staff, or safe food service, and resident and family feedback shows ongoing concerns about understaffing, neglect, and lack of engagement. The community is part of CommuniCare, a corporate senior care company, and belongs to several professional groups such as the American Health Care Association and the Illinois Nursing Home Administrators Association, but the community's record shows years of serious citations and fines for failing to meet standards, so families and residents should review up-to-date inspection data before making decisions.
