Overall Review of Westminster Commons

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor concerns

Many reviewers describe persistent cleanliness and odor issues.

Several residents’ families describe strong urine odor on arrival and report that cleanliness was not handled consistently. Other reviews mention patients left in soiled conditions, with complaints about care related to diapers, baths, and bedding changes. A smaller number of reviewers say the smell was a housekeeping issue or that the facility was clean, but the negative cleanliness reports are frequent.

caveat 16 reviews mention this

Staff responsiveness feels unreliable

Reviewers frequently question how quickly staff respond and provide care.

A large share of reviews describe understaffing, slow or dismissive responses, and concerns that staff do not routinely check on residents. Some families report situations like needing to press call buttons without prompt help, or describing residents being left in bed or in filth for hours. While a few reviewers praise nurses and aides for being helpful and attentive, the overall pattern in the reviews points to inconsistent day-to-day responsiveness.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Space, condition, and visitor access

Multiple reviews raise concerns about the building, room size, and visitor logistics.

Some reviewers describe the building as old and run down, with small rooms and limited options for where residents sit. There are also complaints that visitors have no designated parking and difficulty getting in and out of the building. A couple of families mention that shared rooms were clean and spacious, which conflicts with the more critical comments about the facility’s condition and layout.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Reviews disagree on the quality of meals.

Some families report the food is terrible or below par. Another reviewer praises the food as awesome, and generally positive comments about care also align with better meal experiences for at least one resident. Because the reviews span both praise and complaints, meal quality appears inconsistent across residents’ experiences.

common 10 reviews mention this

Caring nurses and aides stand out

Several reviewers specifically praise the nurses and staff for kindness.

Among the positive reviews, families describe nurses and aides as sweet, welcoming, and supportive—especially during late-stage or rehabilitation needs. Some mention improvements in mobility or feeling that their loved one was safe and well cared for. These accounts appear alongside the more negative reviews about staffing and responsiveness, so the theme depends on individual experiences with particular staff members or shifts.
