I feel the place should be shut down, the workers there are terrible I seen them tell a wheel bound patient to wheel themselves knowing dang well they weren’t capable of doing so, I’ve seen them make residents sit in pee and talk to the residents any type of way, the halls ALWAYS smell like pee and feces, after washing residents clothes they get them mixed up or have them wearing each others clothes, this is a HIGHLY unregulated place and state needs to step in asap there shouldn’t be a reason residents are asking guess where the exit is to escape or asking families to help because the workers aren’t doing their jobs, just sitting around doing bare minimum, works come to work in their bonnets and pjs and be eating while clearly seeing the residents need help, the only thing the works do is be messy and talk about families who come in to see their loved ones. If your loved one is in there please come get them out of there and transfer them I wouldn’t put my dog or worse enemy here. It breaks my heart. Also not to long ago I seen someone in pain not knowing they were dying and sadly not to long ago she passed and she was screaming in pain and they just sat there.

My son came from a horrible nursing home where he was going downhill fast. This place has stepped up to the plate and make him feel comfortable and they respect him. He has his dignity back. He is not scared everyday. They dress him in real clothes everyday. He is talking now and coherent . Cedar falls Healthcare us awesome. Aides nurses dietary therapy and cleaning staff are awesome. I highly recommend them. Building is old but clean and best all around staff I have ever seen. Upper management team is even awesome. I even surprised an aide that was doing range of motion on him just on rounds, so I know they are doing above and beyond job. I have nit seen one bad thing at this HOME. They make him feel safe. TY Cedar Falls Health Care. You guys are the best.

I am absolutely appalled by this nursing home. I was only in the building for about 5 mins but walked the entire place to deliver a man food he had ordered. There were only 3 staff people and they were doing absolutely nothing. There were 15-20 elderly people in wheel chairs sitting in a extremely small hallway. These 15-20 people had no room to move at all. The place was filthy, and smelled like sewage. A resident in a wheelchair had to show me the way because staff was nowhere to be seen. Do not put your loved ones in this horrible place.

Beautiful place inside and out. The new management is really doing great and making a lot of improvements. Staff is very friendly and respectful to the residents. Definitely heading in the right direction. I brought a family member a few things and I can really see the improvements that are being made. Great job
