Citizens Nsg Home of Frederick

It’s a government facility so they take people who have Medicaid. What’s timely about my friend’s stay is that they will be moving to their brand new facility in 2 weeks. Also I like the fact that they take care of the patients and the facility does not have a smell when you walk along the hallway. I find the people there very nice to deal with. I think with the staff there, some are good and some are still learning. The head staff takes care of everything when there’s a difficulty. My friend is not that wild about the food but I think it’s been recently good. Apart from medical attention, he is also helped by being moved from his bed to his chair and back twice a day. I think that with Citizen’s Care, if you pay more, you could probably get a lot more service but for what he can afford I think they’ve done a good job.

The staff at Citizens was pretty friendly, but I rarely had the need or occasion to find them. For the most part, the nursing home was quite clean but had a distinct smell to it. My grandmother was given decent meals that conformed to her nutrition requirements, but I wouldn't call them delicious. I've seen better food at the facility that my mother works at in PA. Citizens had activities which she enjoyed doing when she could, but she had limited mobility. A lot of residents are just placed in chairs outside of their rooms. For some, they seem to enjoy the traffic, while others seem unhappy. It would be nice if the staff could take them for walks or something to see the lovely nature outside. Overall, my grandmother was properly cared for. Citizens is a pretty average nursing home, and you could do a lot worse for your family member if you choose to send him or her here.
