I am living here as a temporary resident here at this nursing home. Upon me being here I have only met with the social worker 4 brief times, I was told that I was going to be able to get help with helping me find a residence because this was supposed to be a temporary situation and I'm going on 3 mos now. Their cares here are minimal, and the approach by the social workers own words to me was I have 30 days to vacate and it's not up to her to help me anything, it's up to me and I quote " If you can talk you aren't disabled." Said to me regarding me saying that my resources here are very limited. I am disgusted with her and the administrators approach to helping people. They keep trying pile people in here for cares when they don't have enough adequate caring staff but less than a few to provide the cares the ppl here need. Alarms go off all night long 25 min to a half an hr at a time before they are shut off. I would know the room I stay in is next to the desk. The social worker has been nothing unprofessional. Every week it's new faces and ladies complaining they are short of help that even the kitchen staff have come to help on the floor. It is very sad I don't know how this place can still get funding to operate. The last I checked it had 14 major concerns and violations. I ask staff for my mail and I don't get it for days. Important mail. Most Cnas are very short and rude to me with the exception of a few. They all ask me wen I'm leaving almost everyday. I haven't even touched base on my medication errors alone that occur to me on a daily basis, from not getting my meds to improper times, or not at all. I eat in my room because I'm on oxygen, more than a few times they havent even brought me dinner at all. They forgot. And for cleaning. My floor has only been swept twice and not mopped not even once since I've been here. I change my own bedding. And I have to ask weekly for towels and linen. My garbage gets taken out 1-3 days, I can't imagine other ppls cares that don't speak or are elderly. I hear screaming and alarms and one thing to back up my words is I have proof thanks to cell phones. When I leave here I am filing a formal complaint this place really needs to be looked into. It's a very beautiful place on the outside, but on the inside a whole other story. It's there if you look. That's just a few things, there's more but I'm going to bring all of it to light when I file a complaint with the State and Ombudsman. This is a private facility I believe. It needs some changes. Badly.

This is a beautiful campus with so many wonderful amenities! The staff, volunteers and leadership are simply amazing. You can tell they love their jobs as much as they love those entrusted in their care. I highly recommend the Good Samaritan Society - Scandia Village.
