DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE, my relative has been staying here, they always say she’s unable to speak on the phone, she’s been left in soiled diapers for hours and going through neglect. We are currently contacting adult protective services.

Absolute joke of a facility that needs to be shut down its messy not organized. My father was on hospice and its all I can do to flag people down to get him meds to make him feel ok. They cram people in 4 people to a room. If you can avoid sending you loved one there do it.

Some of the staff are not doing their jobs while leaving the patients unattended with Food allowing patients to invade other patients areas asking for help to escape or call someone out of facility to help them asking for translations and neglected for food and water and baths and grooming leaving some of the staff understaffed or pressured to do it all themselves while some of the c n.a.ssit at the tables. Nurses and some n.a. falsely accusing family members who visit of interdereing when the staff approach them for help or to ask for help in a assisting for emergency translations of patients screaming in languages nurses refuse to adhere to correct interpreters for assistance. Privacy policies are not followed, patients rights are not observed and sanitation for linen or clothing changes are not made appropriately and patients go without being turned. Nurses leave dirty gloves on chairs tables and touch patient family members while wearing dirty gloves and not disposing them. Opening containers and nurses leave trash u properly recycled . Nurses and Management notified even social services but spouse isn't given rest due to other roommates behaviors and privacy interuotiins during family visits.

Absolutely terrible, they are neglectful towards the residents. I'm surprised the state has not closed them down for how horrible they are. Most residents will be left to sit in their own urine for the most of the day and only changed a few times, if that. The ones who are full care will the most neglected out of all of the residents. Everyone is shoved into tiny rooms, usually 4 people to one room. So no personal space or privacy and everyone shares the same bathrooms. Whatever dignity your family members had will be thrown out the window, if you allow them to stay at this horrible institution.

My stepfather was placed in the facility for 10 months he was not taken care of, and when he was released, he was released with pneumonia, and RSV and almost died. No one around when I picked him up and just threw a bunch of pills in a bag, most unprofessional Uncaring place ever. I have reported them for elder abuse. Do not let your loved ones go to the facility. It is known for being the worst ever. When I say he was released, we took him out of there and thank God we did because he wouldn’t have lived another three days. This place is disgusting and terrible help. I can’t believe the way they treat elderly people, especially a VA vet. They should be shut down.
