Resident & family reviews
Rose View was one of the most exceptional nursing homes in the Williamsport area in her prime. Now it has become exceptionally poor. There are only a very small handful of nurses who have been at this facility for one year or longer (probably less than 15 including RN and LPN for all halls and all shifts). They are relying very heavily on agency nursing that while legal, makes for no continuity of care for residents, families, and physicians. CNA staff is also a constant turn over. They have failed the state required survey not once in the past 6 months, but twice. currently they are waiting on the state to come back in for one more chance at redemption, if the problems are not fixed, the facility will be closed down. Nurse to client ratio is so poor that for 63 patients there is usually one LPN and one RN. The RN generally handles the paper work end of things while the LPN attempts to handle medication passing treatments and any incidents that come up along the way. Nursing staff is "too busy" filling out needless paperwork to help CNA staff with important matters as toileting changing bathing and feeding residents because they feel a constant internal conflict of "quantity or quality?". Often nursing staff is forced to take short cuts or delegate work to unlicensed personal. This problem is not new, however it seems to be becoming worse as management in a last ditch effort to save face is piling more policy procedure and paper work on nursing staff, while not addressing the most critical need of continuity of care and proper staffing for resident safety. In the past month management has fired approximately 10 nurses for not fulfilling paper work. I have to say the nursing staff at Rose View is amazing. For every time they are forced to handle "running short", somehow they manage to get the job done to the best of their ability. If by some miracle Rose View passes the state survey and hires enough qualified nursing staff to at least fulfill the minimal staffing requirements I believe Rose View can be exceptional once again. Until this happens, I would not recommend Rose View to a friend, neighbor, or even enemy.
