My review of this facility below.
1. CNAs:
Inconsistent, poor response times, often more than 1-2+ hours - particularly late evening and
overnight. Smacks of constant, recurring staffing challenges. Has been going on for quite a number of months now. Nearly had to call 911 on 4/22 when no one initially responded to an urgent call for
care. Often rude and disrespectful CNAs. One recent example? An African-American CNA openly cursed me within earshot of other patients/staff, and somehow managed to keep his job instead of having his sorry ass kicked to the curb. Disgraceful!
Grade: D-
2. Roommate Situation:
Have experienced more than my share of troubled roommates since being admitted here. Well
documented issues, including the present one (apparent history of multiple incarcerations, his words). Alarming and worrisome.
Grade: C
3. Meal Service:
Very inconsistent. I've rarely been given the opportunity to
communicate dietary changes to kitchen management. Food quality and preparation need significant improvement. Further, ordering from outside seems to be either hit or miss. Often,
there is no one to hand off orders to; and even when there is, I've had to wait an unreasonable
amount of time to receive the order resulting in cold food.
Grade: D
4. Nursing/Medication Services:
Wildly inconsistent. Various medication nurses deliver them. Sometimes I've failed to receive
required medications at all during a shift, or I receive different ones depending upon who my medication nurse is on that shift. Some nurses display a very poor attitude, lack of professionalism and/basic empathy toward patients needing aid or assistance. One in particular is an absolute Karen, sticking her nose into every possible situation not her business and inflaming matters. Often have to wait a week to get bathed when a regular shower day is missed by a CNA.
Grade: D-
5. Business/Social Services:
Sluggish, inconsistent response times, particularly with regard to doctor appts. Also, very difficult
to get assistance from Social Services employees when needed. Excessive delays in getting relocated to assisted living facility.
Grade: C-
6. Internet:
Major, known issue. Repeated complaints absent any resolution. If you happen to be housed in a
part of the facility with limited or no signal, and the patient has to incur excessive data fees, then
that's just the way it is. Corporate ownership steadfastly refuses to allocate the funds necessary to
make these fixes. I've been told on multiple occasions that they are in no way 'obligated' to do so. Update: Wifi has noticeably improved finally in the past 2 weeks.
Grade: C+
7. Parcel Deliveries:
Once again, hit or miss. More often than not, deliveries arrive and are accepted within normal
business hours, but because Activities personnel often go home early, I don't receive my item(s)
until the following day or thereafter.
Grade C
8. Overall:
Caustic, derisive, vindictive and retaliatory administrative/management reaction to legitimate grievances, often
accompanied by retort and intimidation. A pervasive toxic culture of mismanagement and neglect. Just one example? Will force me to discuss roommate
and other private issues with my roommate just a few feet away. Unprofessional and a clear HIPAA privacy violation. Occurs all the time in this place. As a reviewer has already mentioned, very little compassion or dignity at this place. Very deserving of it's low overall rating.
