My mom Audrey passed away on Palm Sunday at midtown oaks. Mom was first admitted to 4th floor which was like independent living but what a joke , 2 aides in particular did nothing to help especially at breakfast. They couldn't even bother to cut their food up, dirty uniforms, hair not brushed and just stunk. That's an aide I'm referring to. I found multiple pee stains dried in mom's bed, her clothes were destroyed from being washed at facility when mom's family did her laundry, half mom's personal items were missing constantly. Mom was eventually moved to 2nd floor because of needing further assistance and that's where mom declined rapidly. Her med nurse, big woman all tattoo up decided it was ok to give mom meds without water MULTIPLE times to the point she was laying in red vomite from her meds , reported multiple times but nothing ever done. Never no ice water for residents, slopped puree food infront of them and never attempted to help feed mom. Finally mom's roommate had mental health issues she had her meds changed This was told to us by nurse about roommates med change. The roommate hurt my mom, arm swollen and bruised, she kept holding her head pointing at roommate. No nurse. No aide noticed anything about mom's BIG purple swollen arm, it was me her daughter who demanded an xray and a reason why this resident was aloud to beat on mom without anyone noticing. Mom's aide for that day stated "it was probably roommates she been acting crazy " and the aide just walks out. I myself feel that the abuse is what caused my mom's decline so rapidly. She stopped eating 78lbs at death. SHAME on MIDTOWN OAKS and SENIOR LIFE for letting my mom die a horrible death. Just an FYI senior life never visited mom once she wasn't able to go back to daycare, another money gimmic for the greedy.

My mom suffers from depression, she has a lot of health issues, however, the staff at Midtown Oaks has taken excellent care of her. The nurses, the activities, everyone involved in her care have been wonderful. If we have questions, they are answered, some of the staff go ABOVE and BEYOND to be helpful. As soon as you enter, you are greeted with a smiling face. The facility is clean and neat. My mom wouldn't do anything at home, but here at Midtown Oaks she has made friends, and looks forward to the activities, having meals with other people she can relate to. It was a hard decision to have someone else take care of mom, but the staff has made the transition an easier one. She isn't thrilled with some of the foods, but it is hard to please everyone. I am thankful for the care and attentiveness she receives.

It is sad and painful when, a loved one, for their own health and safety, needs to move into a long term nursing home. Over the past two months of residency, my mother has been well cared for at Midtown Oaks. My experience is the staff (physicians asst, nurses, aids, physical therapist, administration, janitorial staff, receptionist), have all consistently demonstrated a commitment to courteousness and compassion for the patient and their family caretakers. The building is ideally located in the Renaissance area of the city. The main lobby is pleasant. The patient’s rooms are nicely painted a light color and are a spacious. When we have needed to discuss any health concerns, its been easy to get a care plan meeting with the entire team that cares for my mother. Prior to Mom’s admittance, we (her family) met with Midtown Oaks’ Directors to discuss the poor reviews and reputation of the previous owner/operators (Altoona Nursing Center). We were satisfied with Midtown Oaks general manager and director of admissions expressions of awareness, and their assurances about working hard to reverse the communities negative impressions. Based on my experience, they are succeeding.
