Facility fails to advocate for residents in difficult family situations and lacks overall concern for employee safety in light of family members who pose harm to staff caring for the individual. Facility is old and outdated. Has faint urine odor to place. Rooms are not welcoming and bathrooms inadequate for needs of elderly/handicapped persons. Neighboring rooms expected to share single toilet so privacy is a premium. Patients not offered whirlpool baths and provided with showers only. Whirlpools bath are well received by geriatric community in providing opportunity for staff to examine skin for potential problem areas and friendly interaction with staff. . Failure to provide this simple comfort is just one reflection of low standard of care. Meals appear institutional and lack appeal for persons residing there long term. Failure of facility to retain staff on long term basis reflected by poor standards of care and interest in residents. Long history of problems with state surveys including as many as 59 deficiencies in one survey period alone which is generally unheard of in nursing homes in this area. Previous for profit owners were responsible for much of the overall decline as they drove off valued staff and allowed the facility to deteriorate . Overall rating is 1-2 on consumer websites and not an unfair value. Facility supported by local hospital which is conveniently next door. Plans to build new facility do not appear to have materialized. read more
