The reviews for Forest Street Compassionate Care Center highlight a mix of experiences. Many reviewers praise the staff for being exceptional, warm, patient, and caring. The management team, including the administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and unit manager, are commended for being friendly, fair, and welcoming, creating a strong team environment. The facility is noted for its cleanliness, welcoming environment, and excellent southern food. Activities and personal care services like nail painting and hair styling are provided to residents, ensuring their well-being and happiness.
Several employees express their satisfaction with working at the center, citing a great community, family atmosphere, and a focus on providing quality care. The introduction of a new Pulmonary Unit with specialized staff and a comprehensive strengthening program is highlighted as a positive development. Continuous upgrades to the facility, including new paint, flooring, and dining room remodels, are mentioned as evidence of ongoing improvement efforts.
However, there are serious concerns raised in some reviews. Complaints include instances of disrespect and unprofessional behavior by staff, with one specific mention of a staff member being rude over the phone. More alarmingly, there are reports of neglect and inadequate care, including an incident where a resident's food, water, and call button were placed out of reach, and another where a resident was left on the floor for an extended period. These reviews call into question the level of compassion and competence at the facility, with some suggesting it should be shut down.
Despite these negative experiences, there are still positive testimonials about the care provided, with some families recommending the facility based on their loved one's treatment. The reviews present a complex picture, suggesting that while many find the care and environment at Forest Street to be excellent, there are significant areas that need improvement.
