There's a basic outdoor area, but it has no garden, just a couple chairs in a shaded area. They also seem patient and caring with family members. And most of them are pleasant, even though they do not seem to go above and beyond the call of duty. None of this imparts a sense of calm.īut many staff members have been there for a very long time"”some 20 years or more. It seems as if the staff is flurrying around, addressing the needs of the high needs residents"”or hoarding around the nurses' station. There is an RN on staff"”and several CNAs and LPNs. Rather than offering a homelike atmosphere, it feels like a hospital, with a centrally located nurses' station and cold common areas. Village HealthCare is clean, although not immaculate. Parking is very tough here"”especially if there's a staff meeting. I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentĪ Hospital Social Worker This is a small skilled nursing facility for about 50 residents, with no specific memory care. Never EVER let a loved one be taken there. I’m so worried about her lack of care and what is happening there and now we can’t even get her out. It’s that or terrible dehydration or a mini stroke? I’m so furious!!! And NOW a 72 hour quarantine due to a staff member being exposed to Covid. I asked her what she’s wearing, she said she doesn’t know!!! Also, she sounds like she’s having petit mahl seizures (and I’m very aware what they’re like). She asked them to be sure not to lose her pants. She can’t stand or walk which they didn’t know, I explained she needs a commode because she couldn’t see to get to the bathroom even IF she could walk!!! She told me that last night she had ‘an accident’. She doesn’t know what drugs they’re giving her because they don’t tell her. She’s sounding worse by the hour and we can’t get her out. (She’s in a room by herself so it’s not like it would bother another patient). She has low vision, they finally turned the tv on for her but turned the sound off. I am/was a resident of this facilityĪs of this date my mom has been there FOUR DAYS! We can’t go see her due to Covid but I’m sure if Family members were able to visit it would be a little different. The facility is out to make a buck- period. Management will do a snow job saying whatever they think you want to hear. If you are a family member- be very involved and stop by frequently. Villages policies and proceedures seem to have no order or justification except what is easiest thing to get you to be quiet and compliant. It's just hard to figure out what is going on. Some nurses are excellent but you can't depend on that. Nurses frequently like high school girls gossiping and laughing. Do not bring any clothes to Villages that you don't want to loose to being stolen or laundered in hot water and dried on very hot. Management does very little but are very good at making excuses and delivering a snow job. When the kitchen staff here makes the food it is OK to good but the staff here does not get a chance to do that often. The only institution I have been in to use cloth wipes and then expect to launder them adequately. CNA staff has to use wash cloths instead of wet wipes. Example, not enough medical supplies like diapers or disposable chucks. However, the upper staff do a very poor job of supporting the CNAs. Most of the CNA staff try very hard to care for us well. Nobody seems to know what is happening or what should be happening. Ellen Greenlaw If I could give a negative rating I would.
