The aides are very understaffed and the nurses display pure arrogance speaking disrespectfully to the aides and refusing to help them. The supervisors are very nonchalant and and very inconsiderate of the families feelings. The food is terrible and on top of that never on time .There is always COVID in the facility and the proper measures aren’t taken to assure the safety of anyone else . I would not recommend this place at all

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My brother was a resident at Transitions for approximately five years. I am his sister and served as his POA for 30 years. I attended in person or by phone his quarterly care sessions which were frequently cancelled by the Director of nursing (who is not longer employed at Transitions). Although I live out-of-state, I visited every few months for three days at a time; always ready to meet with staff and to assist with extra care as needed. I spoke with his hired caretakers daily and would infrequently call the staff (knowing how busy they were) but I would always be available when they phoned me. My brother could not advocate for himself and the care he received was at times dismal, sometimes adequate. I hired two loving caretakers to visit him almost everyday: one who was with Ralph from the day he entered Transitions) and one who was hired in the last year of his life. Typically one came at lunch time and one at dinner time. My brother was blind, a diabetic, and a double amputee who sometimes sat in a wheelchair but for the last 6 months of his life, lay in bed 24/7. He needed help with eating, etc. He had a WONDERFUL sense of appreciation and was thankful for whatever quality of life he still had. A TRULY REMARKABLE HUMAN BEING. Transitions struggles to keep nurses or aides; many of the aides complain about each other or the resident quite openly. I could present many examples, but will suffice with this one: Aides would come into my brother's room with the assignment to feed him (he needed assistance the last few months of his life); when a hired caretaker arrived the aides would have the door closed, the food untouched and not offered, and they would be either sitting using their cell phones or using his bathroom. If your loved one cannot advocate for themselves or you are not with them 12 hours a day, I suggest you either look elsewhere or hire advocates. My brother died at the end of October and I have yet to receive a call or a note. The staff notified one of the caretakers of his passing but never did they reach out to me. During the last few weeks of my brother's life, I tried to speak with the then, Director of Nursing, to seek input on a decision whether to place my brother on hospice. I made three attempts over a week. She NEVER returned my call. She has since left after receiving a "Certificate or Caring Recognition" (from my point of view, a very undeserved recognition). I even phoned the Executive Director, to plead for a return call. I was assured my call would be promptly returned, IT NEVER WAS. She has since left after receiving a "Certificate of Caring Recognition" (from my point of view, a very UNdeserved recognition).

I visited this facility

My sister is in Transitions Healthcare of North Huntingdon right now, and I like the social workers and all the help. They seem to be very accommodating with her. She has trouble with her eyes, and they accommodate that; they also communicate well with me. She likes the food; that is a big deal because she is all about food, and she is very picky. They give really good meals. As far as appearance, when you walk down the halls, it is kind of more like a hospital. It is nice, clean, and everything, but it is busy. There are a lot of people working there and a lot of people who are in the halls. It kind of gives me the feel of a hospital for some reason. The rooms are OK. They seem clean, and they are semi-private. It is nice, it is not very luxurious, but it is comparable to all the skilled nursing places.

Transitions Healthcare North Huntingdon was fine. It seemed friendly, clean, and well organized. My dad talks very highly of the staff and say he likes the food. When I was there one day, they came in and asked him what he liked and what he didn’t like; he liked that because he’s a very picky eater. My mother is in and out of nursing homes and I would say Transitions Healthcare North Huntingdon is probably the best one I’ve ever been in.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My grandmother, who is 93, is currently staying at this nursing home. The staff members are very friendly towards the relatives coming to visit their loved ones. They're always good about helping my grandmother get dressed, bathed, cleaned up, etc... We usually visit my grandmother a few times per month. When we ask her how everything is going, she tells us that her caretaker there has gotten everything for her that she needs. Her only complaint is that she doesn't like the food, but we kind of expected that (after all, it IS a nursing home, so I'm sure the meals are more nutritious than delicious). Our only complaint is that one time one of her pairs of shoes got lost in the building and were never recovered, so we had to buy her a new pair of shoes to make up for it. She also tells us she enjoys bingo night very much and enjoys socializing with the other residents. All in all, this is a wonderful nursing home, so if you are looking for a nice place for your loved one to stay at, then I, myself highly recommend this as an option.
