Resident & family reviews
This particular facility has always had issues as far back as I can remember being there, which was 1986. The smell of urine, feces, and unwashed bodies has alwayd been a constant here. My father had to be put in a home the last few months of his life, and due to his requiring a trachaeotomy, this was the local place we had to place him, against our better judgement none the less. They were the only ones in town who was supposed to be trained to deal with a trachaeotomy patient, turns out, that was a joke just like the rest of the place. Daddy was not even there a full 3 hours, and they could not handle the responsibility, so he had to be returned to the hospital, and we had to place him elsewhere.As a former employee of this facility when it was under different ownership and administration, dissapointment does not even begin to describe how the unacceptable care and indifference of the staff seems to filter down from administration dow to the last of the hourly paid employees. Come on people, you need to get it together, and get the facility up to minimum standards. The people you are caring for all have loved ones, whether it is a niece or nephew, to their own child, andanybody who is halfway human would not knowingly commit their loved ones to the care of those who could basically be considered the Nazis of Nursing Homes! These people who have worked hard all of their lives, and have given unselfishly to society deserve better than what you are giving them! The regulations for skilled nursing facilities really needs to be tightened, more unannounced Division of Aging inspections need to take place, and substandard facilitles need to be held accountable. I know that this is a difficult industry to work in, I spent several years as a dietary aide, cook, nursing assistant, and laundry worker, so I have a clear picture, but I have also worked at facilities that were top notch, and treated their residents like they were god's and goddesses, and their residents loved the staff, and we as the staff loved them. How about bringing a little humanity and humility back into the business? Would you want your loved ones to be treated badly?
