Nursing Home Communities in Sleepy Eye, MN

"Sleepy Eye Care Center's staff was incredibly rude. Did not seem to care about the health of their residents one bit. My grandma had a disease called C-Diff, which is highly contagious. They told her she would have a private room because of this, yet she ended up with a roommate. The nurses and Aides wouldnt change gloves before touching other residents or food. They never cleaned my grandmothers feeding tube, which caused more infections. Inevitably due to their lack of concern for the residents health, my grandmothers roommate contracted the C-Diff disease and died from it. The center itself is a beautiful place. I was impressed with the upkeep of the building. They have many fish tanks and live plants that bring life to the inside of the building. They do have an assisted living facility, but I never entered the apartments, only the nursing home. However, it looked like a nice place to live. The whole thing is in a fairly quiet area in a very small town. Very nice location. Overall, it was nice on the outside, but the care for residents was horrid inside the nursing home. "

"My mom moved into the Divine Providence Community Home. It's closer to home. The facility was very nice and updated. It's easy access for my mom. They keep us informed and contact us with our everyday questions. They have live entertainment and a game room where they can do puzzles."

"Oak Hills Living Center has great activities, great support services, and more options for senior living before they move on to a nursing home. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Mom has a very spacious, comfortable one-bedroom apartment. She can have visitors without feeling cramped. The food is served buffet-style and is very delicious. The dining room is very pleasant. The place is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. "

"My grandmother lived in assisted living for a few years before she moved into a nursing home. She was having a lot of difficulty seeing and she just couldn't do very much anymore. Everything appeared to being going well at first. My grandmother enjoyed the help she was getting, and she said the workers and residents were all very kind. She loved the food and the church services she had the opportunity to attend. When we visited her, it seemed like she was in a very good place. Suddenly, she had a rapid decline in health. We attributed this to her old age, but we found out later that she was being neglected by the staff. They did not call the ambulance for her in a timely manner, causing her to suffer much more than she needed to. Eventually, this lead to her death. The staff did not call the ambulance in time and my grandmother went into cardiac arrest and died. "

"Valley View Manor has a few residents that are veterans. My dad is a veteran, so they made him feel very comfortable there. They have lots of activities. Every time there is an activity, the activity director cruises around and grabs everybody, and says, "Come on, let's go!" There are nurses and helpers up and down the hallways constantly. All he has to do is scream for help and somebody is going to come. The facility is nice and small, so he doesn't get confused. It is small enough that he can understand where he's going, which is nice. The place is clean. There's no smell of urine. They got a custodian all day long and another one all night long. The food is OK. Then they got bingo and Keno games, as well as people coming in and singing and playing guitars. They had Halloween where all the kids from town came in and handed out candy. They gave prizes during bingo so the residents could get Christmas presents for their grandchildren. They made it easy enough for the residents to do so that everybody was going to be involved. It costs a lot of money, but he needs somebody there 24/7."
