    Skilled caregivers but management ruined

    I've been a long-term family member here - my mom is generally happy and many caregivers are skilled and caring. That said, after a corporate takeover and a new administrator began firing staff, staffing levels and morale dropped, awful changes and disrespectful behavior followed (they even confiscated my phone once), which caused panic attacks and felt like a rights violation. COVID precautions are taken seriously and it's an older facility; they're hiring more staff and trying to improve, but I would not put my grandma back. Don't go there unless you want mixed results.

    About Grundy Care Center

    Grundy Care Center sits at 102 E J Ave in Grundy Center, Iowa, where it offers a mix of skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care for those who need different kinds of help as they age, and you'll find 40 Medicaid beds at Grundy Care Center and 55 beds at Western Home Creekside Campus, with options for private pay before Medicaid and even Medicaid pending acceptance for some services, and folks here can get assistance with daily activities, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, rehabilitation like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as help with dressing changes, tube feeding, intravenous therapies, wound and pain management, and medication with pharmacy services, and the building has been renovated not too long ago to boost comfort and accessibility, providing private residential rooms where each one comes with its own phone and cable TV, and there's help from nurse aides anytime day or night, plus a beauty salon, outdoor areas, and plenty of social activities, seasonal celebrations, special meal days, and transportation for errands. Grundy Care Center is tied to Arboreta Healthcare and works closely with groups like the Iowa Health Care Association. The facility has a record of support programs for families and active residents, and you'll see nutritional counseling, meal planning, and a focus on helping residents feel safe and cared for as much as possible, but the record isn't perfect, since Grundy Care Center's been cited for failing to screen staff properly, incidents of resident abuse, theft, financial issues, and even inappropriate relationships and misconduct between staff and residents, with state fines and recent investigations, so you'll want to pay attention to those details, and while the center stays licensed and monitored by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, at this time it holds a 3.6 rating from 7 reviews, has office hours Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, and offers resources for families figuring out long-term care and assisted living choices in Grundy Center.
