    Compassionate staff, dangerous facility neglect

    I found compassionate, dedicated CNAs and nurses who helped my husband regain strength, but the facility is outdated, dark, and plagued by staff follow-through and chain-of-command failures. Patients were left alone for hours with no hydration or physician visits - that neglect contributed to a death; despite some outstanding caregivers, I would avoid this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these brief review summaries is deeply mixed and polarized. Several reviewers express strong positive experiences, citing compassionate, dedicated CNAs and nurses and describing outstanding care that helped a patient regain strength and mobility. Those positive comments include gratitude from family members and at least one mention of a healthy environment, indicating that in some situations and on some shifts the clinical care and rehabilitation support are perceived as excellent.

    Counterbalancing those positive reports are multiple, serious negative complaints that point to systemic and potentially dangerous problems. Recurring themes among the negative comments are failures of follow-through and issues with chain-of-command and management. Reviewers describe neglectful care including lack of basic needs (for example, reports that hydration was not provided), absence of physician visits, and at least one report connected to a patient death. Several comments explicitly allege staff indifference and patients being left alone for hours, which raises major concerns about supervision, handoff practices, staffing levels, or enforcement of basic care protocols.

    Facility-related concerns are also prominent. Multiple reviewers describe the physical environment as outdated, with dated rooms, a dark and depressing atmosphere. Those descriptions suggest the building, units, or rooms may not be well-maintained or sufficiently updated to support a pleasant, therapeutic environment for recovery or long-term care. Such an environment can influence perceived quality of care and patient morale, and may compound problems when clinical or managerial issues are present.

    A notable pattern is inconsistency: the same facility is credited with excellent, compassionate care in some accounts while being accused of neglect and indifference in others. That pattern suggests variability by unit, shift, or particular staff members rather than uniformly high or uniformly poor performance. It also points to potential leadership, communication, or staffing stability problems—issues reinforced by explicit mention of chain-of-command and follow-through failures.

    Several important aspects are not addressed in these summaries. There is no specific information about dining, activities, therapy programming details beyond the single mention of regained mobility, nor are there concrete notes about clinical outcomes across a wider sample. Because the available comments focus heavily on frontline caregiving and facility conditions, prospective patients and families would need additional information about food services, social and rehabilitative activities, infection-control practices, staffing ratios, and physician/advanced-practice provider coverage to form a complete picture.

    In sum, the reviews present a split narrative: some caregivers and moments of care are highly praised and appear to deliver strong, compassionate, and effective support, while other reports indicate serious lapses in care, supervision, and facility upkeep with potentially severe consequences. The most consistent negative themes are failures of follow-through, management/chain-of-command problems, neglect of basic needs, and an outdated, gloomy physical environment. These patterns suggest that experiences at the facility may depend heavily on timing, specific staff, and unit-level leadership. Given the gravity of some complaints (lack of hydration, no physician visit, death), these are matters that should prompt direct questions to facility management and verification of staffing, supervision, incident reporting, and quality-improvement processes before making placement decisions.

    About Jackson Memorial Perdue Medical Center

    Jackson Memorial Perdue Medical Center sits as a government county facility with 163 certified beds and has been operated by the Public Health Trust Of Miami Dade County Florida since 1973, with leadership from Mark Knight and Myriam Torres for many years now, and what you'll notice is there's a team of doctors guiding care and hands-on nursing services with a daily nurse hours-per-resident of 4.89, which is higher than the state average, and with a nurse turnover rate of 20.9%-that's well below Florida's average-folks tend to stick around longer, bringing some comfort in knowing experienced hands deliver the care, and even though the facility is committed to providing good care, it has faced inspection deficiencies related to care quality, resident assessment, and planning, like in areas marked F0867, F0641, and F0656 on the reports, which means oversight and regular checks are part of life there. The center offers skilled nursing care, rehabilitation therapy, memory care, and palliative services, and it goes beyond, too, providing outpatient clinics for things like neurology, cardiac, wound care, and podiatry, as well as aquatic therapy for people dealing with fractures and injuries, and the programs include community-based adult day care for seniors who want to stay at home, with transportation, activities, personal care, and meals also available, which makes things easier for families. You'll see they focus on patient comfort here, with modern renovations, big outdoor spaces for walks and fresh air, wellness activities, and areas set up for both outpatient and inpatient needs, and while it's affiliated with St. John's Nursing Center and St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital and Nursing Center, the facility also has state-of-the-art technology, special departments, and staff that aim to deliver care for mental and physical health problems, including psychiatric services. The nonprofit center supports a warm community feeling but always keeps the care professional, and people come here for specialized care, insurance and Medicare coverage help, or private pay options, with some families choosing services for seniors at home. The entrance walkway is wide and easy to find, and their website lists extra information about services for those who want to look it up.
