    Excellent rehab, inconsistent nursing care

    I placed my mom here and had a mixed experience. Rehab-excellent physical, speech and respiratory therapy and a very active activity team (Melissa stands out)-helped her recover. Nursing was inconsistent: slow call-button response, long waits, short-staffed nights, delayed ER response, unattended meds and poor hygiene at times (1 South was especially bad). Some caregivers genuinely cared and housekeeping/cleaning were fine, but other staff were disrespectful and complaints were often ignored. Rooms are small and drafty, food is horrible, and shared rooms can cause problems. A new director is making improvements, but think twice if your loved one needs attentive nursing, dialysis or dementia care.

    About Future Care Irvington

    Future Care Irvington sits in Baltimore City, Maryland, and offers 200 certified beds for seniors with an average daily census of about 174 residents. The facility provides a wide range of care, so residents can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, adult day services, home care, and hospice care, and the place is busy with activity thanks to on-site rehabilitation programs, dialysis, wound care, respiratory therapy-including a dedicated 50-bed Progressive Pulmonary Care unit for ventilator care and weaning-as well as IV therapy and pain management, plus they say their staff is trained for things like cultural competency so everyone feels welcome. Residents experiencing things like stroke, heart, orthopedics, or pulmonary issues can take part in special recovery programs called STANDStrong, HeartStrong, WalkStrong, and BreatheStrong, and for those with an amputation, they're offered help through the CAMPStrong program, so there are choices for people who need different therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and even advanced things like VitalStim for speech. For those requiring more medical care, Future Care Irvington brings in nurse practitioners and physicians, runs an on-site pharmacy, lab, and radiology, and offers nutrition and diet support, with a focus on keeping everyone healthy with case managers and social services checking in regularly.

    Sometimes the facility gets busy, and with a census as high as 192 at times, it shows they're above capacity compared to most places in Maryland or across the country, and with a staff rating of 4 stars and a Medicare overall rating of 4 stars, the staffing levels seem pretty solid, especially when staff nurses provide an average of 4.35 nurse hours per resident each day (which beats the state average), and 1 hour, 17 minutes of that coming just from registered nurses. On the flip side, the nurse turnover rate comes in high at 56% compared to the state average of 41.5%, and there's a record of 47 total deficiencies over several inspections. The recent inspection turned up 16 deficiencies, with some focusing on infection control violations, and two specifically about infection-related standards, but the facility does work hard to keep high vaccination rates and has strong protocols for flu and pneumonia, which seems extra important to them. They were cited for a quality of life and care deficiency-meaning someone didn't get enough help with daily activities, though there was no actual harm, only a risk of minor harm. For short-stay residents, the facility maintains good records in fall injury rates and pressure ulcer prevention, but among long-stay residents, pressure ulcer rates show up at 16.6%, which is higher than both Maryland and the U.S. averages, but they do have care programs in place aimed at lowering that rate.

    Future Care Health And Management Of Irvington Inc. handles the operation, with Gary and Leonard Attman listed among the managers, and the group oversees 14 senior care centers across Maryland. The environment is described as warm and welcoming, with activities for families like bingo, birthday parties, and picnics, plus recreational events like exercise, games, and movies, alongside family counseling and psychological support when needed. Staff run regular inspections, and if concerns come up, such as care plan revisions or resident behavior, they're addressed as part of the standard oversight. The rehab gym is large and the site is ADA accessible, open 24 hours a day, and people don't face age limits on who can live there. They also provide bedside PICC line placement for IV therapy, trach care, case management, and social support, and everything is set up for ease with things like outdoor seating, reservations, on-site restrooms, and credit card acceptance.

    Amenities and features are well-suited to seniors, covering daily activity help, mobility support, and tailored care settings for dementia and recovery, and Future Care Irvington also provides programs suited to each medical need so residents can stay as independent and active as possible. The staff takes pride in their ongoing recognition as a top workplace over the years and focuses on clinical care, forming a dedicated team that tries to treat residents like family, with legal support present through Miller & Zois when nursing home cases come up. Their ties stretch out to Lifebridge Health, bringing extra medical resources and support. Altogether, the facility does present itself as a busy, comprehensive center with many resources designed for senior safety, health, and engagement, even if some inspection reports note areas needing improvement along the way.
