Review

The reviews above highlight several concerns and criticisms about a particular facility. According to the first reviewer, they agree with previous comments that the only activity provided for residents is Bingo, once or twice a week. They believe that the information advertised about the facility is false and that it solely centers around Bingo as an activity. However, they acknowledge that the residents are taken care of.

The second reviewer expresses dissatisfaction with the lack of nutritious meals provided at the facility. They mention that hot dogs and pizza are not appropriate meals for elderly individuals. Furthermore, they state that there are often food shortages and promise of transportation to medical appointments is not fulfilled due to the absence of a van. The reviewer also highlights issues related to how workers are treated; they claim that workers are overburdened with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and taking care of residents without adequate support.

Both reviewers raise concerns about understaffing and unsafe conditions at the facility. The second reviewer specifically mentions their worry about having only one worker during nighttime shifts. Despite these concerns, both reviewers praise the kindness and dedication of the workers, who reportedly go out of their way to organize enjoyable activities for residents during holidays using their own money.

Upper management is heavily criticized in both reviews. They are accused of failing to address staffing issues and mistreating employees. The maintenance personnel's infrequent presence at the Marinette facility is also mentioned as a source of frustration by one reviewer.

In conclusion, these reviews highlight multiple areas where improvements could be made at this particular facility. Concerns include limited activities beyond Bingo, inadequate nutrition options, unfulfilled promises regarding transportation services, poor treatment of workers by upper management, understaffing leading to safety concerns, inconsistent maintenance support, low wages for workers handling multiple responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning, and reliance on a suboptimal medication delivery system.
