Severe Medical Neglect, Unsanitary Conditions, and Unsafe Staffing Ratios—Do Not Send Your Loved Ones Here If you care about the safety and dignity of your family member, avoid this facility at all costs. Our family experienced catastrophic neglect that resulted in an emergency hospitalization and life-threatening conditions for my aunt. Here are the specific, documented issues encountered during her stay: Severe Medical Neglect & Infection: My aunt developed an unaddressed Stage 3 bed sore that became severely infected. Despite showing clear signs of distress and blood in her stool, facility staff failed to respond or intervene. Emergency Response Failure: During a family visit, my aunt was crying out in agony with zero assistance from staff. The facility failed to call emergency services. Family had to call 911 directly. Upon admission to the ER, she had a 100.5°F fever, a heart rate of 180, abnormal lab work, and was evaluated for sepsis directly linked to her infected pressure wound, along with heart failure complications. Lack of Basic Hygiene & Care: Staff forced my aunt to wear diapers rather than assisting her to the restroom because it was "easier." She was routinely left sitting in soiled diapers for hours until family members had to step in and change her themselves. Ignored Call Lights: Staff members explicitly admitted to us that they have too many patients to manage, resulting in call buttons being completely ignored when pressed. Safety & Falls: She fell out of bed while under their care, and staff brushed it off as non-consequential. Unsanitary Environment: Food service is deeply concerning—we have photographic evidence of insects on her lunch tray. This facility is actively failing its duty of care. Her hospital transfer was the direct result of systemic negligence. Please look elsewhere for long-term or rehabilitative care.

Of all the aids that cares for my family member, Miama is on the top of my list. She is no nonsense. Whatever needs to be done she does it with grace. She goes above and beyond to make her patients comfortable. Jillian in speech therapy is exceptional and Ryan in physical therapy is fantastic. Livingston Post Acute need more employees like these three.

A family member of mine was a patient at this facility, and based on what I personally witnessed, our family had a very concerning experience. On one occasion, my family member needed help going to the bathroom, and I personally heard a CNA complain that they were taking too long and that it was the end of her shift. Toileting is already a vulnerable and dignity-sensitive situation, and hearing that kind of attitude from someone responsible for their care was upsetting and unacceptable. The facility also consistently smelled like urine during my visits, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and the overall care environment. Nearly every staff member I encountered was rude, dismissive, or unprofessional. I am not someone who looks for reasons to criticize healthcare workers. I genuinely appreciate how difficult that job is, and I am the type of person who would buy the nursing staff dinner to thank them. But my experience at this facility was the complete opposite of what I would expect from a place caring for vulnerable people. After this experience, I looked into publicly available inspection and enforcement information for this facility, including recent records from 2025 and 2026. What I found only reinforced my concerns. The inspection history showed documented deficiencies and issues in areas directly related to resident care, safety, staffing, and facility standards. That lined up with the lack of compassion, professionalism, cleanliness, and accountability I personally witnessed while my family member was there. Based on my family’s experience, I would not recommend this facility to anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, or reliable care for a loved one.

My name is Terri Kronengold. My husband Marc and son Michael, daughter Beth and sister jill are very pleased with this facility and all of the people that work here. Janette has been working with me on a constant basis and has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The nursing staff has just been fantastic. The physical therapy staff have been absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this facility for long and short time stays

We initially toured Livingston Acute Care early one morning. During the tour, leadership assured us that our mother would receive three hours of therapy daily. At that time, the facility appeared clean and quiet, although there was a slight odor in the air. The daytime staff was generally good, and several employees truly stood out for their care and professionalism. Five stars to the social worker, Nurse Shannon, occupational therapist Mary, physical therapist Jonathan, and aides Annjohn, Maxine, and Jeanette. They were compassionate, attentive, and made a difficult situation more manageable. We were also informed that positive reviews help reward employees, and those individuals absolutely deserve recognition. Unfortunately, our experience overall became very disappointing. The night staff was extremely poor, to the point where family members felt obligated to stay with our mother from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. daily to ensure her needs were met. During one outside medical appointment, a nurse mistakenly provided us with another patient’s medical history, which was deeply concerning. When problems were brought to leadership’s attention, we found them dismissive and evasive rather than proactive or accountable. At night, the odor throughout the facility became overwhelming, and hearing patients repeatedly cry out for help was heartbreaking. The initial tour did not reflect the reality of our experience. We are grateful to finally have our mother back home.
