Overall Review of Fianna Hills Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Care quality is mixed and uneven

Several residents describe delays or gaps in care that needed repeated attention.

Some reviewers say residents received adequate care and that the staff stayed responsive when issues were raised. Others report serious problems, including waiting more than 24 hours for scheduled pain medication, medication orders not being followed unless family called repeatedly, and difficulty with wound care. A reviewer also describes a father being moved multiple times in connection with dementia care and says activities support was limited. Overall, the reviews point to a pattern where care can be inconsistent and may require strong family advocacy.

common 7 reviews mention this

Staff compassion shows up repeatedly

Many reviewers say the staff is friendly, caring, and respectful.

A recurring theme in the reviews is staff being kind and respectful, with families describing empathy and helpfulness. Multiple reviewers call out staff members as supportive and involved, and one notes consistent updates and inclusion of family as changes are needed. Even when other issues come up, some residents still describe feeling attended to and treated with dignity. Taken together, the reviews repeatedly credit day-to-day interactions as a strength.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Staffing levels drive concerns

Multiple reviews raise concerns about short staffing and capacity.

Some reviewers describe the facility as short staffed or always understaffed. A former staff member also mentions being limited in break timing and describes workplace issues that led to burnout. In reviews where care problems occurred, the concerns about staffing and follow-through appear alongside delays and missed needs. This combination suggests staffing availability may affect how reliably services get delivered.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Food quality is a recurring complaint

Residents and families mention dissatisfaction with meal quality.

At least a couple of reviews focus on food as a major concern, describing meals as low quality and not appetizing. One reviewer describes frequent concerns about freshness and nutrition for both rehab and long-term residents. Another review simply says the food “stunk.” While other parts of care are described as adequate by some families, the dining experience stands out as an area where reviews are notably negative.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised but disputed

Reviews disagree on cleanliness, with both “very clean” and “dirty” reported.

Some reviewers say the facility is clean and that it does not have the appearance of a typical nursing home. Others describe the building as old and dirty and report concerns about hygiene during long stays. One review also mentions corrections after raising grievances, which suggests some issues may be addressed when brought to attention. Overall, cleanliness is a mixed signal across the reviews.
