  • Integrity Health Care of Carbondale Carbondale, Illinois 62901

    I was there visiting a loved one who had recently had surgery. Staff to patient ratio is low. There was one LPN per shift and one nurses aide for the entire wing. It took two and a half hours and repeated requests to get attention for the other resident in the room. Medication sheets were wrong and it took 24 hours to get the correct medications. They are trying to remodel but the building is old and desperate need of serious repairs. Toilets are not ADA compliant. I had to take a riser in so my mom could use the facilities. Staff attitudes and morale is low. The Building is dirty, dark and depressing coupled with poor staff attitudes and low morale this is not the place you want to leave the people we love.

  • Manor Court of Carbondale Carbondale, Illinois 62901

    My husband's stay at Manor Court in Carbondale was short, 2 weeks & 2 days. We were quite relieved to be told we had to leave the skilled care unit of Bounceback. The recliner he was told would be provided never did arrive. Even when I offered to buy it, the unit leaders said they had to get it. His physical therapy was about 30 min. per weekday. His time using a walker was limited within that therapy session, so of course, he never got any better at walking or moving himself from bed to wheel chair. When not in bed, he was set in the wheel chair and transported where he needed to be via that. When I asked why not use the walker, the reply that he could only use that if a physical therapist was available to assist him. His speech therapy was not provided as recommended. He was on tube feeding, so food by mouth was not allowed. The speech therapist said there was no sense in doing speech therapy because the goal of that was to eat. If he ate, he might aspirate and get pneumonia again, so they did not want to be part of that.

    Everynight he needed help urinating, even into a urinal. He pressed the button to call for help, but help was too slow in coming. So, every night he was wet with urine until someone came to change the wet clothes and bedding. It really was a mess and very disruptive of his sleep at night. We were told that only two staff persons were in that wing during the night. Some days the uninal with urine in it would sit on the dresser all day.

    The room was not well cleaned. The bed rails, the tray table, the dresser top, and the bathroom always needed to be wiped clean. Spills were poorly cleaned up, and soiled linens went unchanged for days.

    There were a lot of people around during the day, but their names were not posted in the room, nor was their position. It was hard to know who to ask for.

    After a few days in the double room, a request was made for a private room It was explained that it would cost $40 a day more. Even after agreeing to pay that charge, the change of room was never made, even though it was supposed to occur within the week. The location of the bathroom for two people was poor. Taking the pole and bag for the tube feeding into the bathroom via the wheelchair only was a real trick. The bed by the door got the light and noise from the hallway, as well as people walking through that space to get to the other bed space.

    Staff were very casual about hygiene. They seldom washed hands or wore gloves. Equipment used for feeding and medications were not stored, cleaned, or protected from contamination, even after a verbal note of that practice was issued.

    So, the service that was going to be provided was not provided. Information was slow, incorrect, or not available in a timely manner. Staff were reluctant to do anything other than their specific task. If they left to get an appropriate person, they seldom returned. The place looked really good, but in reality was not suitable. We were glad to be told he had to leave.

    This facility does not give good care to it's residents. The meals are not very good, bologna and cheese sandwich plus Cheetos for supper (for example), very slow response time to resident pages with some staff members turning the pages off and walking away from the resident's without checking on them. Rough physical handling by some CNA's. Very poor communication between staff and family members regarding medical information and treatment, poor or little rehab, missing or stolen personal items is a constant problem. There are several other items too numerous to list.

    The staff that work there are awesome. Their Therapy Department is one of the best that I've encountered. I did feel the same way (it does need some updates) but the patients are well taken care of. The staff doesn't seem to be pulled in too many diiferent directions leaving more time to care for patients. Also, personal items don't seem to disappear from rooms, as I have encountered in other facilitates. I would definitely recommend giving this home a second chance. Don't judge a book by its cover!
