I am a patient here. This place is filthy, and there are mice. The shower room is disgusting, and they place the trash bins in there. I have observed them throwing patient clothes away with dirty diapers. They do not use proper hygiene protocol at all. Many patients are half naked, and many are not washed or taken out of bed. Stay away from this place.

A dear friend of mine has been living at Wingate at Worcester for a few years. After transferring from another facility, a great deal of us were hopeful that this institution was going to be able to care for their patients with a higher set of standards than the previous place.Unfortunately that has not been the case. There is a lack of regard for basic human needs amongst management and patients are being denied things as simple as having their teeth brushed, being kept clean, having regular baths, being offered food and being gotten out of bed. This coming from a viewpoint in which family has been involved with the patients’ care. In fact, the care of the patient has seemingly gone downhill since their family has been proactive in demanding basic human rights. It is not okay to take out your aggressions on a patient because their family is holding your facility accountable to standards set by the state that include but are not limited to basic human needs.If you are looking for a long term facility to care for your loved one — I implore you — look elsewhere. This is not the place for your loved one, this is not the place for anyone. Do your research and make sure that you know what you’re getting into before it’s too late.

Poor nursing , little communication, bad attitudes . cnas run the show and decide when patient s get changed ? = bad bed sores. Pulled out trachea tube causing e.r. trip. Care plans are a joke. Will do all I can to get my friend transferred. Will make a formal complaint to medicare.

Yikes.

Cool
