I had the opportunity to tour and meet with the staff at Allegany. They were so nice and accommodating, they truly care about the patients.

This was the WORST experience to put a loved one at. The aides are lazy, (pulled room cords on patients) staff simply don't care, rooms were not cleaned, food is below adequate standards and most of all the "new" Administrator doesn't want to hear or correct problems. Our dad was in a drug stupor mode (no explanation could be given) Extra cost for room phone. Save your loved ones and DO NOT put them here. Went to another facility and 100% improvement.

This place is so sort staffed !! I believe the floor has been moped once in 2 months. My relative that is there said the food is atrocious !!!! Last week lettuce chicken salad , chicken was still frozen. Tuna noodle, noodles were like glue. For being a small facility, I just can't believe how awful the meals are. She told me " your dogs eat better than us " I'm sure the owners would never put anyone they knew in there. They should have to eat a few meals there .....
