Seems like only the temporary rehab folks get attention. mom sits in urine and feces for hours. the call button is useless - no one will come. mom has endured rudeness and verbal cruelty. Management could care less (nothing changes after complaints). other staff just whine and complain and sit and the desk instead of tending to patients. Hard to imagine that we could have found a worse place.

The first night was not favorable, no staff greeted us and the person that first entered the room was solely focused on inventory of her belongings and not helping her into bed or other important firsts. However, much to my surprise, day 2 through 7 were much better. The nurses are very efficient and caring as well as the physical therapy and occupational therapy teams. One nurse, Wesley really stood out. Truly exceptional! My advice in general is visit your loved one often in this type of environment, but Harmony overall is a very good choice!

Some people are friendly enough. But I'm pretty surprised and not at all happy to see employees not…read morewearing masks or wearing them under their chin. Multiple employees, including employees (CNAs, nurses) that have direct interaction and contact with residents. Many of whom are older folks who might be more susceptible to illnesses. I don't know, are there any of those going around in 2022? Can't be anything more than sniffles I suppose. One nurse in particular was kind of a jerk. I had to ask the nurse/nurse assistant to put her mask on since I'd seen her coming in without it. When someone asked her something--about how long something might take--her response was a kind of flippant, snotty "it takes however long it takes". I think the question was really more how far is it, is it crowded or whatnot, will I have to wait... to which she could have answered either without the biting tone or simply been a bit more kind.

My elderly friend seems to be underwhelmed as well. One major issue, extremely major issue, is Elmwood Care's putrid stench. I have no idea how people can work there and how these conditions aren't illegal to work in. To live or work here is what I'd imagine living in a cat litter-box would be like. Seriously, can you please install some proper ventilation? Or are you trying to keep these poor elderly peoples' family and friends from ever wanting to visit them? Gross. Two stars for a couple of nurses who have been kind to my friend. And the fact that she has not developed bed sores.
