My mother is here now & it's the worse place I've ever seen, what kind of hiring process do yall have because the staff is disrespectful & has bad attitudes. There's a lady at the front desk as I type this that has has the worse attitude & frowns all day, this place is filthy, unprofessional, & everybody needs to be fired & put in jail. Yall will definitely be hearing from my attorney & we've already been investigating gathering tons of health violations.

My mother in law was there for over 3 weeks and received what we saw…great care! Dana the pressure sores nurse was there every day treating her sore she got at the hospital until it was gone! Thank you. Lots of laughter in the hallways! People actually cared about the patients. You can’t please everybody and the negative “Karen’s” will complain about everything. Not everything was perfect but they were helpful when we asked too. So thank you.

This is the filthiest "skilled nursing facility" I've ever seen. I was sent here by my neurosurgeon after back surgery, a brain and a spine infection. Even the employees don't want to touch door handles & stuff. It's loud and chaotic, people wander the halls without supervision and there aren't any clean surfaces anywhere. Pics of my bathroom, and random filth. If I could give negative stars, I would.

From the day my Dad was transferred to this facility until the time I had him removed was an absolute terror. First of all, it took 9 days to get our request granted to have him transferred to another facility. But during his time there he was left in the hallways for hours after therapy, his request to have his telephone and television plugged up (plugs were out of his reach) were ignored and when they finally plugged them up, they were repeatedly unplugged for whatever reason. When coming to visit my dad, I was told that they can not have visitors in the room (when I made it back there once I understand why... the way they have those patients stacked four deep in a room is ridiculous) and must be dressed and brought out to the lobby for visitation (this rule was in place for covid, which is understandable, but has since been lifted). When I called the social worker, on several occasions, to either follow up on his transfer status or convey messages from the facility in which he was being transferred, she was very curt. Most times that I left a message, I wouldn't get a call back until I went to someone over her head. I had the same experience with a Director of Nursing who refused to resend paperwork to the new facility (to which they sent it to a wrong number) claiming that they must not want to accept him as a patient (until I told her that he was related to the Administrator of the new building and that his room was ready and they were waiting on him). Once he was finally picked up by the new facility, Nurse Dashuna Johnson RN refused to allow them to use the wheelchair to transport him to the hospital. The Administrator of the new facility asked her to call their Administrator to get permission to borrow the wheelchair and she refused to call. The new facility Administrator also offered to put something in writing that she would return the wheelchair immediately, and again she refused. So, my dad had no choice but to try and maneuver from the wheelchair to the car both upon leaving St. Joseph and arriving to the new facility (he is a fall risk patient with very limited use of both his hands and legs). My father expressed to me that he felt he was being scolded for requesting to go to another facility. The social worker also questioned my parents (when filling out a DNR) as to 'why' my dad wanted to be transferred when I told her in our initial conversation why. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. I should also make mention that my dad had to bring his own television and had no access to a telephone outside of his cellphone (which is why we asked that he kept it charged while there). His first meal there (the only one I saw) consisted of no meat. This place is just horrible.
