I am a prior employer of this facility. I have worked and other long-term care and skilled nursing home facility is as well.
It was sent in the community that this nursing home was far better than other facilities locally.
Unfortunately from what I observed while there this is definitely not true. At least 40 to 50% of their residence have UTIs. That's a common occurrence there. It's a huge problem as well as staffing, employee retention, employee showing up on time or showing up at all, nurse and CNA ratio to resident or patient ratios.
Even their ability to stock linens for every shift as needed and supplies is faulty.
This facility really needs to take a hard look in fast who is running it, why and all the things wrong with it.
I personally witnessed residents being medicated to keep them quiet and as they didn't have enough staff to ambulate these people when they would want to get up and walk and move around. They would do this under the guise of it's behavioral acting out behavior. But those of us that are true professionals in the healthcare industry know better. It's not only on ethical but it's illegal to medicate a person like that just to keep them quiet and more passive. It's not only sick it's a sin and a great injustice.
Perhaps the CEOs and DON's should consider giving up the company provided vehicles, sulfones and service for themselves and their families? Hire the proper staff already!
People who want to work, or willing to work, who show up to work on time. And people in general was good ethics and strong morals!
If unchanged I feel that this facilities future is very uncertain. Personally I wouldn't send my pet there for permanent placement. I'm not kidding it's that bad.
Don't believe me? Walk through each unit upon visitation and notice the strong urine odor on many and most of the units. It's not only because these people are incontinent - it's because those who are are not cleaned up and provided the proper hygiene and care in a timely manner.
Sad - very sad to see this kind of activity and behavior still going on today.

I had a knee replacement and went there for PT. I often get UTI's after surgery and I did this time, it showed up the 2 nd day I was there. I pleaded for antibiotics and they said that my urin had to be sent out to be cultured. When I visit my Doc for this cronic problem she gives me antibiotics and sends out for a culture and when the culture is back she adjusts the meds if necessary. I was in agony and by day 3 I was totally incontonent. Here is the unbelievable part, I asked them for a depends or even a panty liner and they said no, because I came there to get better and I didn't need anything like that upon arrival and how would it look in a chart because I had been brought there to progress not regress. I could not believe my ears! I hung in for 2 or 3 more days with no meds I had my husband smuggle me in supplies. I think it was day 4 or 5 that I finally left AMA. The very next morning I went to my Dr. and she could not believe it either. She did the basic dip test that they do in the office lit up like a Christmas tree I was feeling 100% better after 1 day on meds. 4 days later I got a call at home from Baptist saying I had a bladder infection and should have stayed so I could be properly medicated! They Suck. I have severe Rheumatoid arthritis and have had a minimum of 15 hospital stays and I have always been satisfied. I'm not the type of person that complains. I'm having my other knee replaced next month and I will never go there again for anything. You guys should have negative stars!
