    Unsafe negligent care; avoid facility

    I had a horrible experience. My loved one was unsafe - rolled to the front door and left with only a cane (escape/police involvement), left unattended in a wheelchair, nurse call buttons unanswered, and there were no bed alarms or railings. No nurses or therapy all weekend, meds weren't ready on arrival, and skilled nursing/rehab felt unqualified with constant staff turnover. Rooms are tiny and feel like a jail, beds uncomfortable, food bad, and communication with family was poor and delayed. Ownership changes and lack of safety protocols convinced me to recommend inpatient hospital rehab over this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is predominantly negative, with isolated positives related to administrative contact and activities. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize serious care, safety, staffing, and facility issues that collectively suggest systemic problems rather than isolated incidents. While some amenities and personnel (notably a friendly liaison and scheduled activities) are appreciated, these positive elements are overshadowed by multiple reports of unsafe care, poor staffing coverage, and management instability.

    Care quality and clinical concerns are central themes. Multiple reviewers reported a lack of nursing coverage on weekends and periods when no nurses were available, which led to other failures such as medications not being ready on arrival and inadequate skilled nursing services. Several comments explicitly state that the facility's skilled nursing and rehabilitation services are insufficient, with recommendations from reviewers to pursue inpatient hospital-based rehabilitation instead of this facility’s SNF services. Therapy services are reported as unavailable on weekends. There are also reports of nurse call buttons going unanswered and residents being left unattended in wheelchairs, which together indicate lapses in routine monitoring and response.

    Safety incidents and protocols are another major area of concern. Reviews describe missing safety features such as bed alarms and railings, and point to specific dangerous events: a resident rolled to the front door and was left with only a cane, an escape/absconding incident that involved police, and problems caring for underweight or fragile residents approaching end of life. These incidents, combined with comments about a lack of supervision and inadequate security at the front entry, paint a picture of inadequate resident protection and emergency prevention measures.

    Staffing, training, and communication problems recur throughout the summaries. Reported frequent staff turnover (described as every other week) and ownership changes (four times) suggest organizational instability that likely contributes to inconsistent care. Reviewers describe staff as underqualified or insufficient and note poor communication with family members, including delayed transfer processes and slow or incomplete updates. The mix of poor responsiveness to call buttons, weekend coverage gaps, and staff churn points to systemic staffing and management failures.

    Facility environment and dining receive mixed but mostly negative remarks. Pros include private rooms and a schedule of activities, but many reviewers describe rooms as small, cramped, and prison-like, with uncomfortable beds. Dining impressions are mixed — a couple of decent meals during the week were noted, yet other reviewers disliked the food. Overall, the physical environment is repeatedly described as inadequate for comfort and dignity.

    Management and ownership issues are highlighted by multiple reports of changes in ownership and poor operational continuity. The fact that ownership has changed several times was mentioned explicitly and is offered as context for instability. Despite this, one consistent positive note is a friendly liaison who may facilitate communication for families; however, this single asset does not counterbalance the reported deficiencies in clinical care, safety, and staffing.

    In summary, the aggregated reviews indicate a facility with some social programming and a helpful point-of-contact but significant and recurring shortcomings in clinical care, safety, staffing, and management continuity. The most alarming and frequently mentioned concerns are lack of nursing coverage (especially on weekends), unanswered nurse call buttons, missing safety devices (bed alarms/railings), residents being left unattended or in unsafe situations, and serious safety incidents requiring police involvement. Prospective residents and families should be particularly vigilant about verifying weekend nurse coverage, response times to call bells, presence of bed alarms/rails, therapy schedules, staff qualifications, and how the facility manages admissions and transfers. Given the strength and frequency of the negative reports, families seeking skilled nursing or rehabilitation services may want to consider alternative providers or inpatient hospital rehab options and to request documentation and assurances about staffing and safety protocols before admission.
