Where do I start? First. Outside. Clean. Inside. Definitely needs major upgrades especially in the residents room. My mom was there for a couple of weeks and when we first walked in her room. It looks like a dirty motel. Also she had a mouse in her room and she had to tell facility. Nurses. One particular nurse we talked to first day and my mom’s last day. Super nice. Seemed like she actually liked her job. Other nurses. Well when a woman who recently had a stroke asked for diapers. Getting told “get them yourself” really isn’t something I wanted to hear. One breakfast. She asked for new coffee since it was ice cold. She was told you had to wait til dinner. It was breakfast and someone told my mom she had to wait til dinner for one cup of black coffee. The most simplest coffee you can make. Which brings me about the food 2/5. Food can be better. These are humans that live at this facility. Make them better food. I was also told that you got nurses selling cigarettes????? I thought this was a rehab/retirement home? Why are ppl selling cigarettes like it’s prison??? Overpriced for a rundown facility with a mouse problem. Nurses with bad attitude. And cheap food. Don’t send your family here. I felt so bad for my mom. I felt guilty for her staying there. I would take it back immediately.
