Logan Elm Health Care Center

concerned family

my mother has been there for a year now and it only gets worse by the day. They dont have enough people to work so they get agents to work there and they are very rude and hateful to the residents my mom was one of them so this is first hand for me. They dont do activities with all the residents they have a chosen few that they pick i have had first hand with this as well. They dont take the time to listen to the resident on ow they feel or the things they want or need they just say they will be back and never return. On a weekly basis i get a call from my mother probably 3 times crying and telling me they wont help her or they dont clean her after using the bed pan. When i confront them they always blame someone else and the problem never gets resolved. She shares a room with another which she is ok with but the curtain is pulled and all my mother sees is the window. I was told this was the best nursing home in circleville but trust me its not it needs to be looked into by higher authority. They have alot of things that can be fined for and as for the new part its not for the residents its for rehab so its not used for the long term patience. the food is cold and they have the same food all the time it sits in the hall till someone decides to pass it out. they will start out nice but then things change after they start getting your money. i have talked to other resident family and they tell me the same thing only they have been going through it for yrs sad very sad all a loved one wants is for the loved one to be safe and well taken care of

My stepmom has been in Logan Elm Health Care Center for three days now. She's there for long term. The facility is not as nice or pretty as the other place where she was, but they are updating their building and the wing that they have finished is very, very nice. The rooms are bigger. There are two people in a room, and they're separated by curtains. Two people share the bathroom. My stepmom seems to like the food a lot better. While my dad was in talking with the admissions person, I talked to a couple of people that were in chairs in the hallway and they loved it there. They said the food was great. They have all kinds of activities there. In the summertime, they have excursions outside where they would play with water balloons. They decorate things for Halloween, and they have a lot of arts and crafts there for them to do, like decorating pumpkins. The cafeteria was full and everybody was laughing and eating and getting seconds. The aides were walking around to fill up their drinks and stuff. They have a courtyard, a library, and a beauty salon. They have tables with puzzles. They're upgrading the whole facility. In the hallway where they're upgrading it, they have like really nice big TVs on the walls for people. My stepmom brought her own TV there. She is in one of the rooms where they bring people in and they have them isolated for so many days for like COVID and stuff. They haven't moved her to her regular room yet. We went there the day after she went. They have one nurse and two aides per 20 patients. They have a great ratio there. Their physical therapy department is really good from what I've heard. Most of their staff have been there 20 plus years, so they hardly have turnover at all. The staff is great. They have two different types of mattresses. They have some that are raised on the side a little bit to keep the residents from rolling out of bed and they have others that are completely flat. They'll switch the mattresses out to whatever the resident wants.
