The food is terrible.They don't have enough help. Most of the aids are awesomeI would not recommend this place to anyone. There are 5 or 6 really great aids and a couple of good nurses here that I dearly love. I was told I was rude and had complained about all of the staff. That is not true I have complained about 1 or 2. Most of the ladies I have a great caring bond with. If you do come here, hire a cook or eat out. The nurses do no like being questioned about changes in medications. The expect you to just shut up and take it.
If I could leave no stars, I would.My mother is currently in this nursing home and she has MS. About everyday she tells me how when she soils herself, she has to wait about 4-5 hours to be changed. 😡They leave her in her own soil and wont respond to her button call or anything. My mother is unable to use her legs, so she needs assistance. In order to get ANYONE to come assist her she has to scream at the top of her lungs in order for anyone to pay her any mind, and once she has caught the attention of someone, the rush in her room and fuss at her for screaming. Well what else is she suppose to do!? This happens more than once everyday.Upper management needs to hire more staff because this is ridiculous. No one should sit in a diaper full of soil for hours end. Im not mad at the staff themselves because I understand its hard for 4 people to run around and take care of 40 patience everyday, but PLEASE HIRE MORE STAFF!
My mother passed away February 20th in this nursing home. Nobody had the audacity to tell me that she was in her final stages or that she passed away. They told me that that I wasn't on their contact list, but they were able to contact me about the nursing home being closed due to Covid 19 . So they did have my contact information. Just because they dropped the ball and didn't want to do their job don't lie to me about it. It's pathetic that you have to hearfrom an outside source that this happened. I never liked this nursing home I'd never let my dog stay here.
My husband was in rehab there for 9 days. Rehab was impeded by his inability to sit up without vomiting or vertigo. Instead of trying to resolve that issue, he was forced to sit up in a wheelchair vomiting. Their staff was very thin. Call lights were constantly going unanswered and my husband laid in his waste for as much as an hour before someone would come to assist him. I attended to his hygiene, cleaning him up after bowel movements because of the very slow response. His vomiting was so serious, that I had to have them call an ambulance to transport him back to the hospital. He was so distressed from this experience that they had to give him atavan at the hospital to calm him down. He lose 38 pounds in 9 days.I have him in a different home for rehab now and they have taken care of the vertigo with a patch behind his ear until he can be examined by an ENT specialist. 9 days has been used in Forsyth Rehab with no rehabilitation, leaving us with an out of pocket for the co-insurance. I've also spoken with several other people who had a horrible experience there, stating they wouldn't send their dog to this place.
