    Neglectful nursing home; avoid placement

    I placed my loved one here and deeply regret it. The room reeked of urine, bedside drawers had bugs, and there was poop under the bedside toilet lid; call lights were ignored, meds missed, bathroom access denied, and dehydration sent them to the hospital. Nursing was largely inattentive and rude and the place is clearly understaffed, though a few nurses and the therapy team were compassionate and helpful. Management was defensive and misleading about policies and care; tours looked fine but reality was filthy and unsafe. The facility has nice decor, activities and outdoor time, but that doesn't excuse neglect, poor hygiene, and loss of dignity. I'm filing complaints and strongly recommend you move your loved one elsewhere.
