Review of Vista Center of Boardman

1 Star User Review

This is a horrendous place. Yes, they are remodeling, however, this is going on while residents are in their regular rooms and there is a lot of dirt and noise. Every time I went there to visit my husband upon passing a certain area the smell of feces was overwhelming. I witnessed residents being call "sundowners" to their faces by staff when they became confused. During 3 months my husband was there a total of 5 days, 5 days too many. One of those days I was called early in the morning to come to care for him because the nurse was overwhelmed and they were understaffed. The furniture there is old and not really safe. The care was minimal. My husband required a certain bed for pressure sores, one they said they could provide. Instead they provided one that was not exactly what had been ordered and additionally tried calling his attorney to received extra payment for this even though they had agreed to provide it and were required by the state to do so. In the end my husband was in a hospital and hospice became involved. My brother-in-law notices very little about this sort of conditions and yet when we were told my husband would need to be returned to Briarfield to die even he said it was not a place to die. If a place isn't good enough to die, and it isn't, it certainly isn't good enough to live.
