Morrow Memorial Nursing Home

Morrow Memorial Nursing Home, sitting on Main Street and started back in 1984, serves as a family-run long-term care place, with an average of about 148 residents each day in a building with 175 certified beds. The staff includes over 100 people, and the daily nurse hours per resident sit above the state average at 4.28, which gives a bit more nursing time each day. This nursing home offers regular meals, laundry service, and a full range of health care, both for short stays like rehabilitation and for longer-term living, though past inspections did find some problems, such as an infection control deficiency and an issue with timely reporting of suspected abuse or neglect, along with concerns about food service not meeting professional standards. The total number of deficiencies in records sits at 21, with at least one violating federal standards for infection control. The owners-Millennium Bacchannal, LLC along with Paul Laporte, Shelda Tassin, Rebecca Cato, Darrell Morrow, and John Morrow-keep the family feel going, and staff try to make things comfortable, saying they want it to feel like "A Home Away From Home." There's a structured activity calendar managed by Resident Activity Directors and CNA staff, so residents get involved in arts and crafts, gardening, fitness, and holiday celebrations like Christmas, Easter, Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, and Halloween. There's also lots of themed activities such as Senior Prom Pageants and Super Bowl Parties, with guests from local schools, bands, and community groups stopping by. Residents get the chance to go on educational field trips to science museums, take part in pet therapy programs, decorate their doors, and enjoy birthday parties and live music. Morrow Memorial Nursing Home tries to keep strong community ties, hosting volunteers and including family members whenever possible, but even with the many activities and caring staff, it has experienced some serious health and safety deficiencies that families may want to review.
