St James Manor & Villa

I wish I could give five stars unfortunately I really in good conscience can't! I was a resident for about 3 1/2 weeks the aides are pushed hard so they have real bad attitudes, the nurses and LPNS who give out Meds are pretty good! Rehab is off the charts AWESOME! I would highly recommend therapy here but would question being a resident!

Would not recommend this facility to anyone. The only thing we liked there was the rehab department. They were awesome and very compassionate! The CNA's were not! Met two there that really cared. My Father was there for 3 months and fell out of his wheelchair at least 3 times that we know of! He was a fall risk and was not properly watched. One time he fell was because of a faulty foot rest on his wheelchair! The last time he fell was in the dining room. He was diagnosed with a brain bleed and shifting of his brain! No way was he going back there! We are now caring for him at home!

Fire hazard. Not enough room for residents with walkers or wheel chairs to move around lunch room without bumping into each other and various objects. Staffing have poor attitudes.

I was looking for a place for my mother after she fell and broke her hip. I drive by St James and stopped in to get information when her doctor said she was going to need therapy. I was impressed with the look of the facilities and also that it didn't have a nursing home smell. My mother is 96 years old and can be a pistol. She wanted to go home the first day but the administrator met with her and got her to calm down and agree to stay the night. He was very patient with her and asked her a lot of questions about what happened to her and what she would do when she got back home. He explained to her that if she did her part in therapy, then everyone on the staff would do their part to see that she would be able to get back to her home. She was there for 6 weeks and I was amazed at her transformation from the day she got there until the day when she left. She was walking with a cane by the time she left, she had her favorite nurses or aides that she called by their name and she said she might want to come back and visit sometime. All of this from a lady who is not always the friendliest person in the world. Thank you St. James for the great care you provided for my mom!

This place is absolutely horrible. My grandfather was here for six months and every single time I stopped by there was an issue. He was unclean, hungry, had bed sores- the support staff has an excuse every single time! Save your elderly family member - do not let them move in here.

This review is for the "skilled" nursing section. The assisted living section was wonderful, with wonderful people. Our dad was doing pretty well in the assisted living and then had to move to skilled due to concerns from falling. They let him sit 24/7 in a wheelchair, unbelted or secured and he fell out of his chair. In the course of one month, he had to be hospitalized twice due to severe dehydration, resulting in organ and heart damage, and he died from the second episode of severe dehydration. He had terrible sores on his behind/scrotum and severe edema in his legs which was never treated. When we would visit him, he was sitting in a dirty diaper without clothes because they were all filthy in his closet stored in plastic bags. No dignity given to an alert WWII veteran. While in the hospital, they found a broken clavicle with the bones separated. He went from a vibrant old guy with great mental abilities to an unresponsive guy with over 40 lbs of weight loss and severe dehydration in a matter of one month. The severe dehydration sent him into uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, low blood pressure, and organ damage. He was unable to recover.
