Overall Review of Haskell Care Center
Pros
The kitchen is great.- The staff are great.

It is described as one of the worst nursing homes the reviewer has ever seen.- Water leaks under the flooring go unrepaired, and nothing gets fixed correctly.
- Mold is believed to be growing in the walls and floors.
- A CNA was alleged to discuss a resident’s medical information in a sexual way with a family member, violating HIPAA.
- Nurses allegedly refused to provide medical attention when sick, leading to a late pneumonia diagnosis.
- There was a period of over two weeks without hot water, floors were ripped up and not fixed, and families were not allowed in because of the appearance.
- The DON Mary is described as rude and hateful.
- A dumpster near the facility contained bags of used medical supplies, including tubes and syringes, indicating illegal dumping.
Review
Haskell Care Center is best suited for families in the Haskell area who must choose quickly and are prepared to supervise care closely. This community is not a good fit for residents with meaningful medical needs or those who require dependable, proactive monitoring. The reviews consistently flag safety and stability issues, so the wisest candidate is someone who can stay engaged, visit often, and push for timely fixes and clear communication. The facility may be tolerable only if expectations are tempered by a willingness to intervene regularly and treat any apparent improvement as a temporary status quo.
Families should explicitly consider alternatives when there are red flags about safety, cleanliness, and staff conduct. Nearby facilities with stronger track records, better maintenance programs, and transparent reporting should be prioritized. Before deciding, review state survey results and talk to multiple operators in the region about staffing, response times, and how day-to-day concerns are addressed. If the aim is reliable medical oversight, privacy, and consistent wellness checks, other options in the area are likely to deliver more peace of mind.
The few positive notes in the reviews point to a kitchen that delivers solid meals and some staff who care. At times the place comes across as reasonably clean, and there are mentions of friendly or capable workers in certain shifts. However, these limited strengths do not erase the larger pattern of failures cited by residents and families alike. When the core concerns, water damage, mold suspicions, and intermittent hot water, are left unaddressed, even the best meals cannot compensate for a surrounding environment that feels unsafe or neglected.
The most troubling themes cluster around maintenance, safety, and privacy. Reports describe water leaking under flooring, floors ripped up without timely repairs, and conditions that raise concerns about mold and overall hygiene. There are grave accusations regarding delayed medical attention, privacy violations, and inadequate family communication about a resident’s status. An EMSA visit reportedly underscored concerns about on-site care, and a member of the care team was accused of discussing confidential medical information inappropriately. Taken together, these issues create a risk profile that cannot be dismissed or treated as minor.
In balancing pros and cons, the positive notes about dining and some staff do not offset the fundamental risks highlighted by multiple families. When care quality and safety are uncertain, proximity or cost become irrelevant advantages. Prospective residents should demand recent, verifiable evidence of consistent thirst-to-care averages, maintenance responsiveness, and a concrete plan for correcting environmental hazards. Without these assurances, this facility should be crossed off the short list in favor of options with clearer accountability and demonstrable improvements.
For decision-making, act with a plan: schedule tours focusing on maintenance logs, floor conditions, and infection-control practices; request to meet the director of nursing and the administrator; obtain copies of recent survey results and any corrective action plans; speak directly with current residents and families about daily responsiveness; and insist on a clear escalation process for emergencies. If choosing to proceed here, pair the admission with an aggressive oversight regime: weekly family calls, documented requests for repairs, and explicit expectations around HIPAA privacy, timely medical evaluation, and transparent communication. If those conditions cannot be met, pursue alternatives with stronger safety records and more reliable, accountable care.
