I am 34 years old and just starting my journey on hospice care. Despite a year-long and strict "no…read morehospital trips under any circumstances" came to Franciscan Hospice House because my pain was unmanageable, which I have previously gone to ER's to aid in getting some relief, but was the only met with indifferent, yet judgy doctors who labeled me as a drug seeker, and didn't care if there was anything wrong with me. Especially considering I have an issue where I metabolize medication too quickly, making it far less effective, and making me need higher doses of everything, which does not go over well in the ERs. I had to become used to the fact that if I were going to an ER visit or a hospitalization, I was going to end up going home in worse condition then when I had gotten there, pain-wise. I was told that this place would be different in hospice is different, but I still expected it when I came here a couple nights ago. I was met with absolutely nothing but the opposite of everything I just described. All this time, I've been wondering where all of the good-hearted people, who got into medicine to help others to heal their pain, judgement free, had gone, and I seem to have stumbled upon them right here at the Franciscan hospice House. I can't say enough how amazing each and every person who works here is, and I wish I could recognize it in a way where I'm able to give back some of what they've given me, but posting my truth on the on this internet website will just have to do. All my dozens of ER visits and hospitalizations I have experienced in my adult life, made me feel like I was doing something wrong when I needed and asked for some kind of pain control, to the point where I was ashamed to even ask. I unlearned that behavior here, and I don't know if I could have gone on without that changing. I found no nefarious actions, or questionable intentions in anything that is done here by any of the people who work here, it's just good people. I was unaware they still existed. It's like finding a freaking unicorn on a bit stunned and unsure of what to do next, but this seems like the right step. I almost don't want to make any sudden movements and in fear that it might spook them and everything will go back to the hellish ways that I'm used to. If you're considering getting their services, my only advice is stop waiting and just do it, because for me, nothing but good came out of it. Your life might seem like that too, but if anyone were to pull out some more good parts of life, it would be them, and it would be here (I'm actually still a patient here as of right meow

The staff here is by far the finest I've ever dealt with, the nurses are wonderful, compassionate and empathetic and understanding with a great sense of humor. The clinician is really good at what she does as always available. The chef David, comes in every day and prepares what I want the way I want it and the food is as good as I've ever had. All the staff, including the nursing assistance housekeeping, have all been great. I couldn't say more. The facility is the best that it could be (well beyond a 5 star rating)

0 Stars - If I Could Give Zero, I Would My experience with…read morePark Rose Nursing Home was nothing short of devastating. My daughter was a resident due to a brain injury, and the care she received was absolutely unacceptable. From the start, I was routinely gaslighted by staff when I voiced concerns about her health. She was hospitalized multiple times for completely preventable issues--like dehydration--because they weren't even giving her water until after her first hospital visit. She developed blisters on both feet, I found that her bed didn't even have a sheet--nothing to protect her from the rubber mattress. The area around her feeding tube was infected. Over time, I noticed swelling and hardness in her abdomen. When I brought this up to the nurse, I was dismissed and told it was nothing. I insisted on a hospital transfer, and thankfully I did. At the hospital, she was diagnosed with a distended colon and had dangerous amounts of air and gas in her abdomen from her feeding tube. The doctor said she was close to needing a colostomy bag. The rooms were filthy--floors were never clean, and mattresses were only wiped down when I did it myself. I had requested that she be placed in a wheelchair for at least two hours a day as part of her rehab plan. That only happened when I was present. Otherwise, she was just left lying in bed with no meaningful rehabilitation. She was rarely bathed or cleaned, and every time I visited (twice a week), I had to clean her myself. She often had congestion, despite the facility having an on-site respiratory team. It was clear that very little care or attention was being given. The staff was not only dismissive but repeatedly made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about when I raised legitimate concerns. Even the doctor was essentially non-communicative until I was ready to remove my daughter from the facility. After the final hospital visit, I transferred her to another facility where she finally began receiving the care she needed. Park Rose Nursing Home is not a place for healing or recovery. If your loved one is vulnerable or unable to speak for themselves, I urge you to look elsewhere. This facility needs a complete overhaul--from staffing and training to hygiene and basic human decency.

My grandfather was a resident in the dementia unit downstairs for 4+ years. Sure, the building is…read morebeautiful, the staff seems caring, and the food is much better than most facilities. I have worked in various facilities, specifically with dementia/Alzheimer's residents and despite the beauty of this building inside and out, the care is horrendous. It is the same exact care that you can get at any facility. Of all of the times I visited, there were always new staff members that had NO idea how to properly care for my grandfather. I spent hours going in to the facility only to care for my own grandfather rather than spending the time to visit with him and cherish those moments. I spent my time reminding the staff of the issues with his care and what they WEREN'T doing. He spent $10,000 a month to live there and in all honestly I could have taken better care of him myself without him spending $10,000 a month. His valuables were lost within the first year of him living there. He died with nothing on the walls of his room, staring into the ceiling with no one by his side. I am very disappointed in his care at this facility and do not recommend spending that amount of money because I can assure you that the money is NOT going towards those residents. Those residents spend their days staring at a TV all day with no one-on-one interaction. The nursing staff does not recommend PT or OT to help assist these residents to live a healthier/active lifestyle. My grandfather was put into a chair and thats where he ended up the rest of his days being there. The nursing staff lies to you and tells you that they are doing the proper care needed and I caught them in the act of lying. I had to remind them to donn his boots because he ended up with a nasty heel wound that the facility NEVER healed (still there when he passed away). He was chair/bed ridden and they couldn't even remember to donn his boots which is VERY important to avoid skin breakdown. I had to clean his mouth out and wash his face. I had to massage his legs because they would turn black/blue from being immobile and the staff wouldn't do it otherwise, even when asked. I had to ask them to reposition him in bed to avoid pressure sores and skin breakdown. I even asked them to give him a bath because he had a bad odor to him. To me, this is not good care. This facility needs to re-evaluate where all of that money is going and start doing their job. It is heartbreaking to go visit a loved one that suffers from a terrible disease only to find out the people that take care of him don't actually care about him, they care about their paycheck and when their time comes to go home. The staff was never attentive when we would visit. The CEO of the company only cares about opening more facilities across the state so he can make more money. We had several complaints throughout our time there and never once was apologized to or even considered for our feelings. I understand taking care of dementia residents is not easy, I can personally say it's one of the hardest things I've done but I have never turned a cheek on my residents and always did everything I could to care for them as a human being. The staff needs to put themselves in the residents shoes and care for them as they would like to be cared for. Karma will come around for those that look the other way. I recommend you think about the significant amount of money you will put into this company/facility and the type of care that truly happens behind closed doors. Think about how your loved one feels. This place is no different than the rest.
