Try to remember all of the horrible things you've heard about nursing homes and this will give you an idea of what Royalton Manor has to offer. Luckily, my dad was only there for a couple of weeks, following a recent stroke. I'm not sure he would have been able to survive a visit of any greater length. The blatant disregard for the health and well being of their patients is disgusting. The rude, incapable, uncaring and unprofessional nurses, doctors and therapists that we encountered is mind boggling, truly. From medication not being given, to my dad losing 20 lbs (because he was unable to swallow and nothing was done about it, until he came home and the problem was immediately obvious), to a fall that we believe was never reported, to observing a "physical therapy session"(without the staff knowing) where my father was left in a wheelchair, with his head hanging in his lap. Any time my mother tried to talk to both the doctors and nurses on staff, she was treated like a criminal. My mother is a very soft spoken woman, who I have never witnessed being rude or demanding a day in my life! Her treatment was undeserved, and the staff at Royalton Manor should be ashamed. These are only a very few of the things that occurred in the short time my dad stayed at Royalton. I shudder to think of the things that occurred of which we were unaware. I cannot stress enough how dangerous I believe this place to be as a care provider of any kind. read more
