Overall Review of St Patricks Home

common 17 reviews mention this

Caring, responsive staff comes through

Residents and families frequently describe genuinely caring, attentive staff.

Many reviews say the staff is kind, accommodating, and professional, with nurses and aides who respond in a timely way. Families also mention staff showing compassion when concerns were raised, and some specifically praise nursing leadership during follow-ups. A few also note that there are staff members who can be hard to reach, but the overall pattern of positive caregiver impressions is strong.

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Call response and staffing vary

Some residents describe long waits for help and missed responsiveness.

Several reviews describe delays getting assistance, including long waits to have someone changed or helped, and instances where calls to the nursing station went unanswered for extended periods. A number of reviewers connect the experience to understaffing, describing heavy workloads and limited coverage on site. Even when people describe some helpful staff members, these accounts commonly criticize communication and follow-through.

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised, but smells persist

Reviews are split on cleanliness, with some residents reporting strong odors or dirty areas.

Positive reviews frequently mention clean rooms and a well-maintained building, along with an overall feeling of security. At the same time, other reviews report debris on floors, dirty rooms and bathrooms, and lingering smells described as urine and feces. Some comments also connect cleanliness concerns to broader care issues, such as delayed attention to residents’ needs.

common 7 reviews mention this

Rehab and physical therapy support

Rehab services, especially physical therapy, are repeatedly mentioned in reviews.

Multiple reviews praise physical therapy staff and describe rehab as a meaningful part of recovery, including residents staying engaged with exercises. Others describe occupational and physical therapy teams as professional and welcoming. This aligns with the community offering physical therapy within its care services.

common 9 reviews mention this

Activities and religious programming

Residents and visitors mention frequent activities, including religious services.

Reviews commonly point to organized daily activities such as games, community-sponsored events, and live or planned programming. Several also mention religious services, including mass and other faith-related events. The community’s activity calendar appears to be a consistent part of daily life for many residents, even though a few reviews say their loved ones were not interested or needed more engagement.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Food quality is a mixed point

Food quality and meal consistency receive both praise and complaints.

Some reviewers say the dining facility is good or that food works for their loved ones, and others mention accommodations during visits. Several reviews, however, criticize meals as bland or barely edible, or note mismatches with what was expected on trays. A few reviews also raise concerns about meal follow-through when residents may need assistance, which can turn dining into a care issue rather than just taste.
