I wouldn’t even give them one start but it’s the only way I cld write a review. My father was moved there from Quincy Illinois due to it being the only VA contracted facility w an available bed in the area. He has been in steady decline for about 5 days and drasticly the last 2 days. I made the 2 hr drive there and back and then went again yesterday to see his hospice nurse. She told me he may have a week max and that is pushing it that if she were me she’d advise me to stay close maybe contact family so that we cld swap out being w him. All the day staff told due to his condition there was no limit on my being there. Last night around 1230a I went to sit in the lobby a while so my dad cld have some quiet peaceful rest as he had been sitting on the side of his bed stuggling to breath for countless hours. At 230a I was told my a staff member that I needed to leave I could not stay there my day was not going to die in the next 24hrs and told me to leave and this I got in my car at 230 am and drove the 2 hrs home bc I had nowhere there to stay. Thanks to that I may never see my dad alive again nor have the chance to say good bye bc I was not going to wake him when he had finally fallen asleep. Zero stars I give that place negative stars and they have caused me such unneeded grief that I only hope the worst for that person who made me leave.

My family member is regularly in dirty clothing and doesn't even get a washcloth to clean his face upon waking. The kitchen ignores his dietary preferences, so he goes hungry most days. They lost one of his hearing aids. I spoke to 4 different nurses asking them to take his remaining hearing aid to the VA clinic so he could get new ones. That was not done. Very negligent staff.

I visited with my friend again today, March 27, 2020. It was a very nice experience. I met 2 people I knew back when about 5 to 10 years ago that live there now and they seem happy. It has a pleasant atmosphere. I talked with a few other residents that seem well adjusted there also. I can now give a 5 star rating. I think highly of this nursing home. I am giving 4 star review at present time as I have only been in the facility once and do not want to make assumptions. The staff that greeted me was friendly, pleasant, very caring and acted in a professional manner. These were key upon my arrival as 1st appearances are always highly important! I have a dear friend that is a resident there and had high hopes she was getting excellent care. The atmosphere was calming and the staff interacted with each other in a professional manner as well. These things I liked seeing. I will be making a return trip to visit with my friend so will update my review when I have more adequate information to go on. A pleasant place it does appear to be which makes me smile.
