First shift people are for the most part, are good, caring and professional people. I feel like they put their best people on first shift. After first shift, it's a free for all, I suspect because of the lack of supervision. CNAs constantly complain about doing their jobs, leave ppl in dirty diapers for an hour at times, generally very lazy about the job, eye rolls when you ask for help, nurses who don't care to manage the CNAs when you complain. My LO had bruises and scratches and I was never satisfied with the excuses I received from staff about how they happened. My best advice if you have a LO here, be VIGILANT(!) be PRESENT as much as you can at different times of the day, and accept that this will be a second job. Advocate often and clearly for them. Talk to the social worker, Carmen is wonderful! The food was usually highly processed reheated food and pts are rushed thru eating. Which brings us to the facility itself. The patient floors are in bad disrepair (one working shower for an entire floor?) dirty overall, broken, garbage furniture and banged up walls, they don't have a good ventilation system, instead they will open windows when it's freezing outside. Floors are cleaned with cotton "string" mops spreading germs from one room to the next. (I've seen dirty diapers thrown on those floors) The place is simply not sanitary. I'm greatful to have my LO checked out and in a sanitary place that all the staff treat the residents with respect and care and if they do not there will be consequences. The Grove/Alpine is a very old facility that has not been maintained, is understaffed and temp staff is used to fill the holes. The management is unconcerned about what truly matters here. Everyone, especially a mostly elderly population that cannot always advocate for themselves deserve kind staff who care, a sanitary environment, prompt and regular services as needed (bathing, bathroom needs), and management that cares enough to make sure these things are happening and staff are held accountable when they are not. Assisted Living/Rehabilitation centers make huge amounts of money from Medicare and Medicaid. Think about that. 0/0 FAIL.
