    Chronic neglect, unsafe for dementia

    I stayed/visited and experienced chronic neglect: call lights often unanswered with long nurse delays, delayed basic care, wrong diets, broken/tall beds and poor mattresses causing pressure issues and bedsores, urinary/kidney infections requiring hospitalization, unattended residents and a fall that led to hospitalization and later a resident's death. A few staff were caring and the small facility offered fellowship, but outdated medical/MedPass procedures, dirty/unsafe conditions at times, and no dementia-focused training make this unsafe for those with complex or dementia needs.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but leans toward serious clinical and operational concerns despite a subset of positive impressions. Multiple reviewers praised individual staff members who were caring, attentive, and detail-oriented, and some described the facility as clean and small with meaningful activities like church services and fellowship. These positive remarks suggest that there are competent, compassionate employees and some aspects of the environment that residents and families appreciate.

    However, the dominant and recurring themes are safety, clinical care failures, and inconsistent standards. There are repeated reports of long delays in nurse responses and call light failures — in some cases call lights were not present or did not prompt timely assistance. These delays are linked in reviews to failures in delivering basic care (residents left unattended, missed hygiene like baths for days), and to more serious medical consequences such as urinary and kidney infections that required hospitalization. Several reviews specifically cite pressure injuries/bedsores and poor mattress conditions (including moisture and indentations), indicating inadequate repositioning, skin checks, and mattress replacement/maintenance.

    Safety and equipment problems are frequently mentioned: beds that are too tall causing feet to hit broken footboards, mattresses in poor condition, and patients being left unattended in wheelchairs. There are also accounts of falls resulting in concussion and at least one death reported in the reviews. Combined with statements about lack of regular physician checks and outdated MedPass and medical file processes, these reports raise concerns about clinical oversight, medication administration practices, and the facility’s ability to prevent, recognize, and promptly address acute medical issues.

    Dietary and daily living services also show inconsistent performance. Specific incidents include non-pureed trays being served to residents who require pureed diets and unresolved dietary issues despite being reported. Hygiene and cleanliness are contradictory across reviews — some reviewers describe a clean facility, while others report dirty conditions and residents not being bathed for days. This inconsistency suggests variable standards of care and possibly staffing or shift-to-shift variability.

    Staffing and management issues are another significant theme. Several reviews describe neglectful or lazy staff behavior, with allegations that nurses sometimes allow CNAs to pass narcotics — a serious medication safety concern. Multiple reviewers report inaction by upper management when problems are raised, implying weak accountability and escalation pathways. At the same time, the existence of caring, attentive staff members indicates that problems may be systemic (staffing levels, training, protocols, leadership) rather than uniformly poor individual performance.

    Special care needs, particularly dementia care, are highlighted as an area needing improvement. Reviewers noted the facility might be acceptable as a standard nursing home but lacks specialized dementia training and is not ideal for residents with cognitive impairment. Outdated furniture, decor, and administrative processes (medical records and MedPass) were mentioned as signs that investments in infrastructure and modern clinical workflows may be needed.

    In summary, the reviews present a polarized picture: pockets of good, compassionate care and a small, community-oriented environment coexist with recurring, serious concerns about clinical safety, hygiene, staffing practices, medication handling, and management responsiveness. The most frequent and potentially dangerous issues are delayed nurse responses/call light failures, infection and wound care problems, unsafe equipment and mattress conditions, and failures in supervision leading to falls and other adverse outcomes. Families and prospective residents should weigh the positive reports of caring staff and community activities against the consistent reports of systemic safety and care-quality issues, and should seek specific assurances about staffing levels, emergency response times, infection control, medication administration practices, dementia training, and management accountability before choosing this facility.
