I am givingt this one star solely based on the fact that this facility has some nice people working there, but the facility itself is severely lacking in many ways. It is beyond cramped, inadequate in accommodations, and does not lend itself to a healing environment. It is understaffed and does not have adequate safety measures (such as bed alarms) in place. My mother's roommate, who was there because of a broken hip, crawled out of her bed falling onto the floor ten times while I was there and would have just remained there unattended had I not noticed and called for help. Food , which was cold each time it was delivered, was left for my mother to cut herself, which was impossible for her to do. The staff giving the medication was sometimes unaware of what they were giving - some are not licensed personnel. One staff member came in and told my mother she was giving her heart medication - when I questioned her and she told me the name of the medication, I recognized it was not even a heart medication, but the staff member did not know the difference. Makes one question how many medications are wrongly administered. They do have some licensed staff, but they are understaffed, leading to delegation of critical tasks to unlicensed, and apparently untrained personnel. The rooms are impossibly small, outdated and dull. If there is more than one visitor, you are out of luck as there just isn't space left. Again - the staff are probably doing the best they can, but if you can find any alternative for your loved one, please avoid putting them in this facility. It is depressing, inadequately maintained, has severe concerns for basic quality measures of physical safety, lack of healing environment, and inappropriate use of staff for daily tasks.
