Samaritan Care Center and Villa

My wife was admitted here to get some physical therapy work done. She's been here now for a total of 8 days. Long enough for me to come up with the following conclusion. Its a GREAT facility! This is the smaller 200 bed unit at 806 E. Washington. In a world where nursing homes are known to not possibly care less about their patients and you read and hear about failures constantly, this place is a shining star in the sky amongst all the other fading stars. I felt like she was safe and WELL cared for at all times and you're listening to an EXTREMELY overprotective Italian, so to get the green light and praise for such an Institution is a rarity for me! Everyone has done a spectacular job, but special shout out to Janice Gibson. She's a straight talker and a straight shooter. Articulate to the core and doesn't beat around the bush. Something you need when its concerning the health of a loved one!

I want to thank the staff here. They were very good to my dad when he was here. I know he was not easy to deal with. I want to thank you all so much for taking such good care of him.😊 the workers were very nice and friendly. Always clean. I was very well pleased with this place.

If I could rate this place below hell and give them a zero I would. My grandmother was sent here by Remembrance Hospice for a "Respite Care" for my parents to receive a break because my parents were her 24hr care givers. My grandmother went to the facility by EMS on a Tuesday evening, and within 6 days she declined very quickly. The first day we found her, she was in a soaking wet gown, and her brief was covered in urine and fesses that had dried on the white bed paid. Brown circles all the way around. The smell of urine in the room and fesses lingering with her door shut. They claimed the aide checked, and turned her x2hrs, which was not the case here. Then they proceeded to bring in a food tray and when asked why she was getting a regular food tray for someone who is immobile and for someone who is clearly not moving, sitting up or swallowing on their own they stated that they where going by order's being sent, and she was on a regular diet. We had her at home which she was on a puree diet with thick-it. The aides here have horrible attitude's (especially the aide who wears the "Cleveland Clinic Uniform" who came barging into my grandmothers room with a extremally bad attitude towards my niece yelling and I was called) never came in to feed, and or check in on her because we always had someone in the room with her 10-12 hour a day. The charge nurse when approached with issues had just as bad of an attitude if not worse, and did not want to leave her phone. Told us at one point my grandmother could have her pain meds when the next charge nurse came in. 45 min. later still no meds, grandma in a lot of pain and still same nurse on her phone. Also, when we received all her belongings back for the 6 1/2 days it was all full of urine and fesses, and it was all never laundered! Funny thing is we paid cash for this care after the 5 days allotted, and this is the level of care we received. I'd make the recommendation if you have an ill family member or in need of care, SAVE YOURSELF THE MISERY DO NOT COME HERE! THIS PLACE NEEDS SHUT DOWN.
