Lincoln Square

I am here to tell you first hand that this place is horrific!! I worked there as a dietary aide and the actual CNAs did not care one ounce about the residents. They would scream and curse at them even over small things like a request for a sweater because they were cold. You could find them lounging around the dining halls between all meals instead of doing room checks, activities, showers ETC. The place was NOT clean by any means! Many times I'd have to retrieve residents from different parts of the buildings after meals had started when it is the CNAS job to do. One incident I will never forget is a lady suffering from Skizophrenia was having somewhat of an outburst in the dining hall (apparently she reads the newspaper and thinks those things are happening to her directly). They had no way of medicating her or doing anything, Worse than that they were laughing at her and mocking her. Screaming for her to "shut the F up". They said "Starr" the ONLY PERSON QUALIFIED TO GIVE MEDICINE wouldn't be there for another three days. I quit this job after losing a live-in grandparent during my shift there, but that situation will never leave my mind. How can you run a residental facility and only have ONE person qualified to give medication, and NOT have them working for days at a time because "they didn't feel like working". It was appalling!! The one cook had also been terminated during my employment there for her drug use, which she did not hide. There was also a small girl Courtney that I had seen smacking the residents on serveral occasions. PLEASE, IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY, DO NOT PUT THEM HERE. Locust Grove in West Mifflin is ALSO a co-company, with the same people running things, so be weary!!
