VERY understaffed for the amount of residents they have taken in, especially the night shift (1 caretaker for how many patients?) I understand workers are hard to come by but I would hope they would stop accepting new patients knowing that they don’t have enough caretakers for them all.Wouldn’t recommend sending your loved ones here!!
The staff is great, but the E.D. lacks the capability to run the place, and targets certain staff and accuse them while openly knowing they didn't do anything. They are understaffed having only one nurse some nights taking care of 50 some patients. DO! NOT! SEND! YOUR! LOVED! ONES! HERE!
Caring and dedicated staff!
Most of the staff is absolutely amazing and puts the residents care as absolute priority, however the Executive Director (in my opinion) lacks experience and mental maturity to guide the facility in a way that keeps the residents health and safety as #1 priority.
If you have to go then this is the place to go . Absolutely wonderful staff at this place . From the guy who changes the light bulb to the really wonderful lady who answers the phone. This place has some of the most caring staff in Salida !
Staff that truly love their residents.
The absolute worst nursing home I have ever seen!! From the staff to the dirty building, it is a mess and I would never place a loved one in this facility or under the care of the current staff.
New Management yeam truly care not just for the residents. They care for the staff that they call family.I would happily have their family take care of my Family any day!!! Love the Columbine Family! Please go see how wonderful it has become!
Great work environment! A lot of laughs, smiling faces and a motivation from a great team to make it a happy healthy home for our patients.
Awesome, cheerful, helpful, caring staff, clean facility, good food, great entertainment, equals happy grandma!
