Overall Review of Mount St Francis Nursing Center

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Staffing and communication can vary

Residents and families describe major gaps in staffing and communication.

Some reviewers describe periods when care felt insufficient, including concerns about not enough nurses, residents left alone, and delayed responses after incidents. Others mention communication problems, including not being notified when accidents occurred or not getting straight answers about day-to-day needs. A few also describe serious lapses that drove urgent consequences, while one reviewer notes the facility is short-staffed but still tries to compensate with care.

Some families say there are only the usual options, such as bingo and religious services, and that there is not much beyond that.
