Summary

Manatawny Manor, once considered a great place for seniors, has unfortunately taken a downward turn according to recent reviews. One reviewer recounts an alarming incident where their mother had to wait so long for assistance that she had to resort to dialing 9-1-1 for help. Despite being short of breath and waiting for 20-30 minutes, no nurse came to her aid. The response from an ambulance was quicker than the staff's response, leaving the reviewer in disbelief at the understaffing excuses given by the facility. It seems that new ownership might have contributed to this decline in quality.

While the staff at Manatawny Manor were generally nice, one reviewer felt that the facility gave off a hospital-like atmosphere and believed their mother would not be happy there. Furthermore, another reviewer notes issues with staffing shortages, making it difficult for them to get necessary answers regarding their father's care and consultations with doctors. It took over two weeks of persistence and involving higher management just to receive these answers. Additionally, they express concerns about inappropriate food offered to their father, such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which seemed inadequate considering his condition with Alzheimer's.

Cleanliness at the facility was deemed satisfactory by one reviewer, but overall dissatisfaction persisted due to the lack of personalized care and attention their loved one received. They highlight how other residents seemed friendly and engaged through activities like bingo nights and movie screenings; however, these factors did not outweigh their disappointment in the level of care provided. Ultimately, they felt that Manatawny Manor did not justify its cost and believe their mother will require a better home in the future.

Another frustrated family member expresses a desire to remove their loved one from Manatawny Manor due to constant mishandling by staff members. This included sending her dressed improperly for doctors' appointments resulting in her being turned away. Additionally, concerns were raised about repetitive meal choices like chicken that led to the loved one losing her appetite. The frustration with physical therapy was also mentioned, as it was described as being too rough and not tailored to their loved one's needs.

Despite these negative experiences, there was one reviewer who had a more positive outlook on Manatawny Manor. They simply state that their tour of the community went well, without providing any further details.

Overall, the reviews paint a grim picture of Manatawny Manor's decline in quality care and lack of responsiveness from staff members. From concerns about understaffing to inappropriate food offerings and mishandling of residents, it is clear that this facility has fallen short of meeting the needs and expectations of its residents and their families.
