My sister, Gail, has been a long term resident at Marlborough Hills Nursing Home. (I am also her legal guardian.) The staff is dedicated & hard working, especially Kerlande, Heather, Miriam (nurse), & Kenney (MA). They are excellent about communicating concerns & updates about Gail. My family & I appreciate them very much & are thankful for their care & kindness to Gail.

Called to have my mom sectioned for psych. The receptionist was great but once I was transferred to her floor, I was not being taken seriously. The woman wanted to argue with me about why she shouldn't be sectioned. Then lied to me when she said she was going to handle it. I then called admin and it was the same thing. I was not taken seriously and never received a call back. Don't put your loved ones here. They are aware of abuse and refuse to do anything about it. Once the person is there, the only way their leaving is in a body bag. Beware!!!!

Staff has Been great. No facility can be perfect but I can't complain. Nurses are very professional and they have gone above and beyond in helping me. My experience here so far has been pleasant.

I write this review knowing full well that words can have bigger meaning. Well what can I say about this place that accurately represents the absolute hell on earth that this place is? They just are terrible. They have no problem leaving the residents sitting in filth and feces for hours on end. They target the non verbal patients with brutality and depravity and treat them in very horrific ways. It's simply two floors of staff who carry grudges against residents and act on them with impunity. If your family is going to be sent here, fight it with everything you have to keep them out. In fact a former resident was treated so poorly he unalived himself this week. They are terrible. Shut them down please
