Hammond Nursing Home

Hammond Nursing Home was horrible. My sister-in-law went to live there for three months, and they didn't take care of her. She had gotten pneumonia, they didn't send her to the hospital, and she almost died. She was in bad shape when we ended up taking her out of there and bringing her home. I think the nursing staff could have been better, and the aides who were working there and taking care of the people were often rude -- especially to the bedridden like my sister-in-law was -- and she wouldn't allow me to say anything because she was scared they were going to be meaner to her. And they would take the stuff that we brought for her. It wasn't clean, but it wasn't filthy. It was OK, but it could have been cleaner. They did have very good activities as far as entertainment for them and bringing them to communicate with each other and stuff; they did have a nice program. The food was terrible. She would call me and ask for something to eat. I think their nursing staff and their aides need to be improved big time; they are supposed to be taking care of your loved ones, and they are not. You go there, your loved one is in tears, and you hate walking out the door without them.

This facility was professional in tending to the patients. The staff was nice and willing to help the visitors and well as the residents. It was kept clean and orderly and the bathroom were cleaned on a regular basis. The residents were kept cleaned and tended to on a regular basis.

My stepdaughter is in there and I hate it there. It's very dark. It's very nasty and it's very stinky! I don't find the people as friendly as I think they should be to toward the patient. Well, I'm not there all the time, I just see what's going on on the weekends when I go and visit. There's also a couple other things I have issue with there and I don't know who to talk to about it. I spoke with a couple of people there and they assured me that the problem will be taken care of. Not only has it not been taken care of but it has gotten worse. So I'm really not happy with her being there. I don't have control over where she's at because of her son. I wouldn't recommend the facility. They need to improve their cleanliness and their treatment towards residents and its family members.
