I would like to give them a zero rating but the rating starts at 1 .. so I will give them the 1 star and that is only because tbe floors look nice and waxed !! No nursing home is a great nursing home however This guardian health at Windsor on Belmont Avenue is by far the WORST nursing home I’ve ever seen!!! It is literally a death trap !!!!!!!!! If you want to INCREASE the likelihood or chances of your family member dying then this is the PERFECT facility 100% !!!!!!!… My father was there for two days and fell two times !!!! Unwitnessed fall of course which is usually the case in these facilities because nurses DO NOT routinely check on patients especially at night !!! So no telling how long he had been on the floor before they found him at 630am! When they heard him say “ hello”??? And he’s on blood thinners and the nurse did NOT think that it might possibly be a good idea to send him to ER!! ?????? He was supposed to have a CPAP machine so that he could use every night to prevent a CO2 buildup And for both days they have no CPAP machine for him to use So his Oxygen saturation level was below the normal range because his CO2 had built up … from not having his CPAP Machine for any of the two nights that he was there !!!! So when the night nurse calls me before she leaves her shift in the morning .. calls me at 830am to tell me that “your dad fell but he’s ok he was a little confused didn’t know why he got up out of bed but his oxygen is at 91” ( which she as a nurse should surely know is NOT a good number as she says it as if that’s a normal number and nothing to worry about) and she should have known that he was on blood thinners from the information she received from the hospital handoff So yeah nurse if yall did not give him his CPAP for two nights.. his CO2 will build up and cause confusion!! Something else a nurse should know !!! And nursing 101…. A nurse should know if a unwitnessed fall in an elderly patient on BLOOD THINNERs .. and the nurse says “ and he doesn’t know if he hit his head “ Exactly nurse i!!!! That is another reason why you send the patient straight to the ER!!!!! Also nursing 101…. teaches that in an unwitnessed fall you always have to assume they may have hit their had !!! So imaging needs done asap!!!! And even more so if the patient is on BLOOD THINNERs!!!! So when I arrive to the facility we get him to the ER and it is here we find out that. His CO2) was 92%!!!!!!!Almost 3x the normal range so for the nurse to say oh his Oxygen “Saturation is 91 but he’s ok” that’s not a competent nurse !! Ya think that may be the reason why the pt was confused !! ?? Brilliant nurse…. He was in bad shape when he got to the ER!!!!! D/t this facilities lazy and clearly incompetent staff This ineffective and totally incompetent staff Will KILL (not exaggerating) your family member if you do not know your stuff .. there’s no telling how many preventable deaths have occurred there !! If you love your family member and want to ensure that their life span is not compromised by incompetent nurses then DO NOT BRING THEM TO THIS Facility I swear you will regret it !!!!!!!! Worst facility in Youngstown!!!?!!!!
