As someone who’s been in there there’s mold in multiple places of things they currently use. Syrup dispenser? Better hope you brought your own cause bet your getting a side of mold with that. The “Culinary Director” I don’t understand how is still employed. When things are running behind he is no where to be found but the first to be heard. Multiple employees have been there SICK one fresh out of a 4 day hospital visit and she was there the day after. Personally, I would not trust this place to take care of your loved ones as they can’t even take care of their staff or themselves. They don’t listen to their residents whatsoever so hope and pray you don’t get attached to any staff, nor will you ever find out if your friend or anyone has passed as you have to find out when you don’t see them again unfortunately. I feel it could definitely improve with better management and properly treated staff!
Annoymous
This place is horrible the management here treats employees like trash. They seem all nice and great. But in reality check they are all fake and choose to fire good employees over stuff they didn’t do wrong. They also do not care for the residents here so please don’t put your family here. At one point in time I tried telling one of the managers there that the residents wasn’t getting changed throughout the night and was always left soiled or dirty and they didn’t bother to fire that person until she chose to quit one day. So they wanna fire good employees over stuff they didn’t do but keep horrible staff who don’t care about the residents all they care about is the paycheck. Makes sense I guess right? 😅 so yeah again if I was you I wouldn’t place your family member here they are already losing good staff who are getting burnout and tired of the workload since the people above management here doesn’t wanna allow more people to work the floor or allow more CMA’s to work so they can split the meds in half so meds are all passed on time. Also this place is using agency like crazy since they can’t even keep full time staff. So yeah honestly all nursing homes are horrible and if I was you I’d recommend hiring a Home Health Aide to come out and take care of your loved one at home or you should take them in. Nursing homes are not what they seem to be anymore they are all trash and if you want your loved one to be taken care of properly keep them at home don’t send them to these horrible nursing homes.
