I worked here as a practicum student and was horrified from the moment I stepped into the ward. There were mouse traps all over my patient’s rooms and rooms were filthy. I witnessed a group of patients parked in front of the television with the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest playing- I am not kidding. When I commented that this was inappropriate, I was told that “they don’t know what is going on anyways”. Patients were underfed, underwatered, not bathed often enough or kept clean. Most of the staff were rushed, had excessive workloads and it showed in their care. If you love someone, please do not bring them to this place.

Rarely was there a glass of water and straw for my mother. When we visited she was thirsty every time. The care aids were great and cleaned her up promptly. Rooms are very basic with no comfortable surroundings even for those in palliative care. We didnt have a choice as we had to accept this facility and would never voluntarily choose it. When we and others visited it reminded me of the movie one flew over the cuckoos nest right outside her room. Not a great experience.

This hospital should have been kept closed. It is a smelly, uninviting place for the elderly. Complaints are not dealt with, and there is no communication between management and nursing staff. The patients lack basic or quality care. It is truly a disturbing place for loved ones.
