Nursing Home Communities in Oneonta, AL

"I went to Village at Cook Springs in Pell City. They showed me their facility, and I filled out all the admissions papers. We chose the nursing home because we found out mom is not eligible for assisted living. They could not take me inside where the residents were living. They took me to a vacant room to show me the type of room she would be in, and they took me to the general seating area. The part that I observed was clean and neat. The administrator was very helpful, and the lady at the nursing home who administered Medicaid was very helpful. They were very nice to me. They had a library and a beauty salon."

"You can't smoke at Village at Cook Springs, and I didn't like that, but I liked that I can have my pet there, and it's all inclusive. I liked that the meals are included, and the fact that one of the administrators gave me her cell phone number so that I can call if I have any problems. The facility was beautiful. There's a little pond out there and it's got a fountain in it. It's gorgeous. WiFi, cable, and landline are provided, but I use my cell phone. There's routine little tours out. Like they were headed to Walmart for an outing when we left there. They had nice people and a nice administration. The meals looked really good, too. The staff was wonderful. The staff actually eats in their cafeteria, which tells you the food is a really good thing. I didn't have a taste of it or anything, but I have had somebody there before, and the food was excellent. They had excellent personnel."

"My mother-in-law is getting rehab at Gadsden Health and Rehab Center. So far, it's been real good. They've been good to communicate when I called, and they've always called me back. She seems well-pleased there, and as of yet we don't have any complaints. The staff is very attentive. The only thing is that they don't have a whole lot of fresh fruits, but the food is good. If she doesn't like what they have, they offer her something else. The therapy department has been very helpful, and they're meeting her needs as of yet. She has not had any complaints to us, and even though we're limited in visits, we still go and make the 15-minute visits. The staff has been very accommodating, any questions we've had they answered, and they call us any time there's been a change with anything. So far, they've done what they're supposed to do. It's just expensive a little too much. I had to do window visits, and I've only been allowed into one room when I visited. The activities are limited due to COVID. They're just doing individual activities in their rooms, and physical therapy is coming to their rooms instead of the residents going to the gym."

"My parents are staying at Woodland Village Healthcare Center. It's very clean. They have plenty of staff. They work well with our hospice company, which also provides facility care for them as well there. My parents don't have any complaints about food. It is doing well. They have karaoke and bingo, and they serve three meals a day."

"My husband was sent from the hospital to Mcgufferys for rehab. In the first place he should have never been released from the hospital that soon. He was not even able to stand on his own. The first morning he was there my daughter and I went to see him and we heard him hollering for help as we walked down the hall. He told us he had had nothing to eat and he was laying in a puddle of water. He not even was laying on a soaking wet bed but he also was laying in his bowel movement. There were nurses in a patients room next door. I called out to them and told them he needed cleaning. Their answer was we'll get to him. I walked down to the nurse station and told a woman and she said they were short handed and would get to it as soon as they could. There were plenty of people standing around. I couldn't tell who was a nurse and who was an aid. I blew up and asked her how she would like to be laying in her s-- They went and cleaned him and called the nursing supervisor. She assured me that it wasn't usually that way. They have 15 minutes to have a person cleaned up. He had been laying longer than that. Then I asked someone to shave him. They didn't. He was on pureed food, The first meal he received was not pureed and they had sat it across the room and left. My husband could not feed himself. When we first got there there were no chairs in the room for me and my daughter to sit in. I asked for one and was told okay. Never came so I found a folding chair inside a closet down the hall and dragged it to the room myself. Later I asked for another and the nurse said maintaince would have to get it. Waited and it never came. I asked another nurse and she got one herself. A young man came in to care for my husband the next day and I asked him to shave my husband and he looked around and said he has no supplies like they give you in the hospital. He had to go searching for one. There is more I could write about but the main thing is they called on the third day and said they had found him laying in the floor that morning. I asked if they didn't have the pads with the alarms if someone was getting off the pad. The woman told me they weren't allowed by the state, it was considered a form of restraint. She lied. I called two other homes and they said they used them and had never heard about a state law saying they couldn't be used. They said it was a safety things. I talked to a lady with the state who reviewed nursing homes and she said it wasn't so that the pads could not be used. She was planning to go there because she had other complaints. I asked her to call there and she said she would. Later I saw where the home was calling while I was talking to my daughter in law who is a nurse.. I did not take the call. If they could not get me on the phone they were to call my daughter. They didn't . After I got off the phone I went down to the home. His room was empty and cleaned except for his shoes in the middle of the floor. I sat down to wait thinking he had gone to rehab. A cleaning lady came down the hall and asked if I was okay. I said I was waiting for my husband. She said they sent your husband to the hospital in an ambulance. I went to the nursing station and they told me he started acting funny after the fall. They said we don't know when he will be back. I said he won't be back. That I had been lied to. When I got to the ER my husband was delirious. They did a lot of blood tests but couldn't tell me what was wrong. He was admitted to the floor and everything went down from there. He died 28 days later. I am not saying the fall caused his death but I left my sick husband in their care and he was neglected. When I asked about the pads they said they could put a mattress in the floor. I guess so he could fall on that. I don't know how he got out of the bed if the rails were up and like I said before he could not walk or even stand up he was so weak. I keep wondering how long he laid and if he was calling for me? No, I would not recommend this nursing and rehab home. I let him go there because I thought they had a 5 star rating. If they did they certainly didn't deserve it. Look elsewhere if you have a loved one who needs to go. "

"My mother was in East glen for rehab, and I thought they were wonderful. They're very caring, very helpful, they take everything seriously, and I really enjoyed the fact that she was there. The staff was fabulous, and it looked like they had a lot going on."

"Magnolia Ridge does not get a very good rating with me at all. My dad spent some time there in rehab, and I was not pleased with the care he received, and I was not pleased with the food or anything else. I don't have very much to say about them because the service was very poor, they didn't pay attention to the patients like they should, and the food was atrocious. I even saw some molds in some of the rooms. The location was the only thing I liked; I was not pleased about anything else there. Whenever you're trying to find nurses and they all decided to take a smoke break at the same time instead of taking care of the patients, no, I can't rate them very well at all. It should have been better managed, and it needs to be better cleaned and maintained. It is not cleaned and maintained as it should be."
