My 56 year old brother spent two months in hospice care at Galtier. Yes, the building is old and the rooms small, but the love & compassion of the 3rd floor staff was outstanding. Angels all. Administrative, nurses, aides, dietary...I cannot say enough about the loving service they gave my brother and our family. God bless them all. read more

**UPDATE - NOT REMOVAL** If I could give NEGATIVE STARS, I would. I came here to recover after surgery. Healthy medical recovery may not be possible here. Within minutes of arriving, I wanted to leave. The place is a typical, dump-like nursing home that you see on "Dateline Investigates." The place is dirty and needs a lot of repairs. It seems like this place has been neglected for long time. It's 81 outside and the A/C is not working properly. My call light has wires exposed (See photo). If I would not have been in so much pain, I would have taken pictures of several other safety concerns. My intake was done on the other guy in the room that arrived earlier in the day. All his trauma and notes are being entered into my file. HIPPA, anyone? When I left the hospital, my pain was controlled at a 6/10. Due to their evening/overnight staff's lack of concern or respect, my pain kept increasing throughout the night. I had to plead for my medication AND THE FULL DOSE. When I asked for more ice packs, I got one disposable pack that was supposed to cover both my back and ribs. I would ask for more and get lectured out by the male staff who is wearing a zipped up winter jacket with the hood up. When the Social Worker came in, I let her know my thoughts and feelings about the situation. When I shared this post, they were shocked and started to try to make things right. Between my roommate keeping his TV and lights ON ALL NIGHT and the overnight staff YELLING at the guy in the room next to me to stop peeing in the hall and waling up and down the hall with no pants, I did not sleep at all! In the morning I called my surgeon and advised them of my situation, my pain was now at 10/10! I was told to call 911 and be brought back and admitted through the ER. It is sad that the only way I was able to get the care I needed was to call 911. What makes my heart sink even more, is that BOTH Paramedics told me how much they hate coming out to Villa locations. They shared that this is not the first time something like this has happened. THANK YOU Villas for setting my recovery back days to weeks! They asked me to remove this post. If they can make great strides and show me they can do better, then I will consider updating or removing this post. But, due to their negligence and abuse, I will keep this post up (and possible more) The moral of the story: The Villas at St. Paul is NOT a place to go to recover, it is a place you go TO DIE! read more

Sweet people! My 88-year-old father with Parkinson's stayed at this Transitional Care Unit (TCU) for a couple months after breaking his hip. He regularly has to go back to Region's Hospital in St Paul, which is only about a mile away. He started with having to use a Hoyer Lift (he couldn't stand up on his own), but by the time he was discharged he could actually walk (with assistance) to the bathroom (which is amazing, and we never would have thought the rehabilitation could be so good). Whew! Well done, Galtier--a VERY caring staff! read more

The Villas at St Paul - Skilled Nursing Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

See all

Uhhh... this place should be shut down. Crowded hallways, nobody is cleaning anything, dark, dingy, dirty. This place needs to be reported or something?? I visited a family member a few days in a row. First day there, in his room, dirty wet towels on the ground, garbage overflowing, trash all over the table. At first I couldn't even get into the room without having to move the cart and broomsticks. Is that even safe?? Aren't they technically trapping patients in their room by doing that? I overheard two employees trying to pay each other to "wipe his ass". Do not put your family in this place. Upon discharge, no medical supplies were ordered, no papers were given to sign. Had to drive 30 minutes back to this sh*those to sign papers. After writing this review I'm definitely going to be reporting this place to the state. read more

This place is awful. They (staff) don't listen to family members. They (staff) don't return calls. The staff administers the wrong meds to the residents even after a stop/hold order is in place, & they add medications that are a conflict with current meds. They (staff) are rough/rude with their transfers & when assisting residents with mobility. They (staff) turn off/down the phones (personal cell phone & room telephone) then keep them out if reach, so they (staff) don't have to hear them ringing or assist residents to use them. The staff gets mad with you if other residents talk to you & staff (3of them) actually snapped on me stating I am not permitted to talk to the residents, even if residents talk to me. Rooms are dirty & cluttered. Their are no tissues for residents & staff can't seem to ever find gloves to use. There are a couple of staff ppl that are very nice/helpful but there is no consistency. If you can't understand any vocal accents, you are out of luck as most staff have them. For the love of God don't put any memory care patients here, they would be lost in a world of hell. This place needs to be investigated!!! read more
