      Neglectful staff, deceptive facility appearance

      My experience at the Tilton Ave. facility was heartbreaking and stressful. CNAs repeatedly failed to take my mom to the restroom and missed giving her medication; nurses were indifferent and dismissive. The staff neglected basic care, didn’t tell me about a diaper rash, and communication was poor — the nice-looking facility is deceiving.

      Summary review

      Overall sentiment from the provided reviews is strongly negative, with a few isolated positive notes about the facility's outward appearance and its location on Tilton Ave. The dominant themes are failures in basic care, problematic staff behavior, and inadequate communication, all of which have led to emotional distress for the resident and family members. While the building and grounds may present well, multiple comments indicate that the lived experience of residents does not match the facility’s appearance.

      Care quality is the central concern in these summaries. Reported problems include CNAs not assisting a resident to the restroom and staff failing to administer medication. These are serious lapses in fundamental, routine care and suggest both inconsistent performance and potential risks to resident health and dignity. Another concrete example is the presence of a diaper rash that staff allegedly did not communicate to family members; this points to shortcomings in both clinical care (skin integrity and continence care) and in basic reporting practices.

      Staff behavior and culture emerge as a recurring issue. Reviewers describe nurses as indifferent or uncaring and staff as dismissive, which exacerbates families’ distress. Terms used—heartbreaking, stressful—indicate a significant emotional toll on family members who expect attentive, compassionate care for their loved ones. The combination of perceived neglect and dismissive responses from staff creates a pattern suggesting either inadequate staffing levels, insufficient training, poor supervision, or an institutional culture that does not prioritize family communication and resident-centered care.

      Communication problems are another consistent theme. Families report poor communication about visible problems (for example, diaper rash) and about care actions (missed restroom assistance and medication administration). This lack of timely, transparent communication undermines trust and makes it difficult for families to advocate for necessary corrective actions. The reviews imply failures in documentation, handoffs, or responsiveness when concerns are raised.

      Facilities and non-care services (such as dining, activities, or specific management practices) are not described in the reviews beyond the facility’s appearance. The only positive points are that the facility looks nice and is located on Tilton Ave; however, reviewers explicitly note that the attractive appearance is misleading compared with the quality of care. Because no information was provided about dining, activities, therapeutic programming, or administrative responsiveness beyond the communication issues noted, no conclusions can be drawn about those areas other than that they were not mentioned by reviewers.

      Taken together, these reviews point to a pattern of inconsistent basic care, worrisome omissions (restroom assistance, medications), and poor communication compounded by staff attitudes described as uncaring or dismissive. These are actionable concerns that management should address urgently: ensure reliable medication administration and toileting assistance protocols, improve skin care and reporting, provide staff training in compassionate communication, audit staffing levels and handoff procedures, and establish clear channels for timely family notifications. Until such systemic issues are remedied and families observe consistent, transparent improvements in care and communication, prospective residents and families should be cautious and seek detailed, verifiable information about staffing, incident reporting, and oversight when considering this facility.
