Chronic neglect and unsafe care
I would never recommend this facility. My family and I experienced chronically inadequate and unsafe care: call bells ignored for 25-40+ minutes, diapers and showers skipped, medication delays/wrong meds, catheter leaks, missing dentures and clothing, and frequent falls/pressure injuries. Staff were clearly understaffed, often distracted by phones or talking, masking inconsistent, and nursing supervisors defensive or rude; communication and visitation access were poor and billing errors occurred. A few CNAs, nurses, receptionists and the PT/OT/rehab team were excellent and hospice was good, but those positives are overwhelmed by neglect and safety concerns. This neglect led to rehospitalization and I'm moving my loved one elsewhere-strongly negative.
