    Care declined after stroke, neglect

    I moved my mom here and at first the care was good, but after her stroke it declined. I saw pressure sores, blood on bed rails, call bells out of reach, long waits for bathroom help, and inconsistent/poor cleanliness in the facility and rooms. Staff were a mixed bag - many kind and caring (rehab/OT-PT-SLP stood out and nurses like Heather, Roma, Jean, Tiffany helped a lot), but some nurses were rude, communication was poor, and management seemed unresponsive; overall I worry about neglect.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed and highly variable: there are clear strengths around therapy and some individual caregivers, but consistent and serious concerns about cleanliness, nursing care, communication, and safety. Rehabilitation services — occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) — are repeatedly cited as one of the best aspects of the facility. Multiple reviewers attribute meaningful progress to therapy staff, and several named caregivers (Tiffany, Heather, Roma, Jean) were called out for providing wonderful, compassionate care. In many accounts, caregivers are described as warm, kind, and helpful; some reviewers note clean, comfortable rooms and positive day-to-day interactions with staff on particular shifts.

    However, those positive reports sit alongside numerous, serious negative accounts that point to inconsistency in the facility's overall performance. Several reviewers alleged poor or negligent nursing care: examples include blood on bed handles, pressure sores, and a dramatic decline in care quality after an acute event (a stroke). There are repeated reports of basic safety and responsiveness issues — long waits for bathroom assistance, call bells being out of reach, and staff appearing idle at the nurses' station — which raise fall- and infection-risk concerns. The heavy reliance on alarmed wheelchairs and comments about fall risk suggest residents may be at elevated risk and that monitoring or staffing levels may not be adequate.

    Cleanliness and hygiene are strongly mixed in the reviews. While some family members and residents describe the facility and rooms as very clean and comfortable, others report dirty conditions and even explicit examples (blood on bed handles, nonexistent cleanliness). This split suggests variable practices across shifts or units rather than universally poor or exemplary housekeeping. Food quality is another area of dissatisfaction — multiple reviewers simply describe the dining as "terrible." Activity levels are also inconsistent: some reviewers praise a lot of activities, while others see few residents participating and report minimal programming.

    Communication and management practices are recurring problem areas. Reviewers report poor intra-staff communication, disrespect toward family members, delays in critical paperwork (notably delayed death certificates and cremation arrangements), and adversarial interactions with staff and management. One review states the owner "should be ashamed," indicating acute frustration with leadership. These administrative and communication breakdowns compound clinical concerns because they affect timely decision-making, family trust, and end-of-life handling.

    Taken together, the pattern is one of notable internal variability: strong rehabilitation services and caring individual staff coexist with alarming incidents and systemic weaknesses in nursing care, cleanliness, responsiveness, food service, activity programming, and management communication. For prospective residents and families, these reviews suggest the importance of on-site, time-of-day visits and asking targeted questions: observe lunch and activities, ask about staffing levels and nurse-to-resident ratios, verify therapy schedules and success metrics, inquire about wound care and fall-prevention protocols, confirm how call bells are maintained and answered, and get clarity on communication policies for families and end-of-life procedures. Also consider speaking directly to therapy staff and the named positive caregivers if possible, while being alert for variability between shifts or wings. The facility shows real strengths in rehabilitation and in some individual staff members, but the frequency and severity of the negative reports indicate risks that merit careful, specific inquiry before choosing placement.
