Actually my rating is 0. The doors are locked 24/7. Mattresses on the floor place is disgusting. Owner is not runs around in pjs and robe. I put in a application as soon as they open the door it smells like urine and mold and feces. Resident s are dirty and in kept. I wouldn't sent my worst enemy there

This place is two faced where they tell you one thing and then another. If a place like this doesn’t have consistency why bother.

Wayside Farm Nursing is not just an ordinary residential rehabilitation health care; it is a place that truly embodies the essence of hope and better well-being for its residents, the Managements and staffs are amazing.

I have been a nurse for ten years and I am currently in school for my bachelors. I attended clinicals here and was thoroughly impressed. From management to faculty to ancillary staff - everyone - truly showed that they wanted to be there and knew every patient like the back of their hand. The staff seemed like a little family and I never heard a single person complain. The facility was extremely clean, residents were WELL taken care of and they have PLENTY of activities to keep them engaged. I have worked in 3 different nursing homes (2 having perfect state surveys) during my career and this is BY FAR the cleanest and most professional nursing facility that I have EVER seen. They truly are a one of a kind facility and have excellent patient care. 100% recommend.
