Rehab was great but nursing was lacking. The elderly should not have to wait an hr once they call for help to bathroom or matter of fact for any request and left in a soiled diaper. Weekends are the worst for staff shortage. Most help was very nice but you can tell they are stretched thin in patience. It was interesting to watch and let me know not to choose that place again. Food was adaquate but unappealing and you don’t give bacon to someone on a low sodium restricted diet period. Invest in insulated water pitchers for patients so they don’t keep asking instead of handing out styrofoam cups of ice water, it would let staff do more important jobs than running for ice water all the time.

They do their best most nursing homes are always short staffed. MANAGEMENT should do something to get the nurses to stay longer the turnaround is constant. And in all nursing homes, nurses are overwhelmed n short staffed . This is one of the best nursing homes!
