Overall Review of Springfield Skilled Care Center and The Lodges

differentiator 12 reviews mention this

New management brings visible progress

Residents and staff describe meaningful improvements under new leadership.

Multiple recent reviews credit new management with making the facility cleaner and improving day-to-day operations. Several also mention more engaging activities and an overall more positive atmosphere since leadership changed. A few reviews acknowledge there is still room to improve, even while describing things as looking better than before.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and pest concerns recur

Some residents and visitors report recurring cleanliness and pest problems.

A number of negative reviews describe the building as dirty and mention pests such as bed bugs, roaches, and mice. Those same reviews also mention ongoing unpleasant odors. One resident says they have not seen pests since they have been there, but that does not align with the repeated negative descriptions from other reviewers.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Staffing strains show up in reviews

Several reviews point to staffing shortages and limited resources.

Some reviewers say the staff are overworked or that call-ins and turnover affect care. Others specifically mention limited access to needed supplies and describe delays in help when requests are urgent. At the same time, several positive reviews say staff do their best and try to accommodate resident needs.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Communication problems make access hard

Some families describe difficulty reaching residents and management by phone.

Several negative reviews describe not being able to get through on the phone, being hung up on, or having trouble getting timely information. Others mention that they could not reach a resident when trying to talk or confirm arrangements. These complaints stand out because a separate set of reviews describes good day-to-day support from staff, suggesting the issue may be inconsistent.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Medication handling is a major divide

Reviews highlight serious concerns and also some positive experiences with medications.

Several negative reviews claim residents did not receive needed medications on time, had medications refused, or experienced medication errors. Some also describe medication being mishandled in ways that affected care or required urgent hospital attention. In contrast, at least one positive review says they receive medicine daily and feel supported, which underscores how differently residents describe medication experience.

common 4 reviews mention this

Activities are a bright spot

Many residents mention activities as part of daily life.

Some reviews describe good activity programming and staff who help residents with projects and staying engaged. Others also mention regular grooming or care routines alongside the activities experience. Even with complaints elsewhere, these mentions suggest activities are one of the more consistently described parts of life at the facility.
