Overall Review of Saint Joseph's Center

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Legionnaires outbreaks raised safety fears

Residents and families raised serious concerns tied to legionnaires-related evacuations.

Some reviews describe legionnaires disease concerns and emergency evacuations that removed residents from the building. A few reviewers also mention communication problems during those events and follow-on issues afterward. Overall, these accounts focus more on safety and continuity of care than on day-to-day experience.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Food quality is a mixed story

Dining quality is inconsistent, with multiple residents describing meals as falling short.

Several reviews complain that food was horrible, became worse over time, or did not match residents’ dietary needs and restrictions. Other residents mention good food and decent meals, including staff handling dietary needs at mealtimes. Taken together, reviews suggest dining satisfaction varies by floor, period, or individual attention to diets.

common 14 reviews mention this

Staff kindness is frequently noted

Many reviewers describe staff as kind, caring, and respectful in their day-to-day interactions.

A large share of reviews praise nurses, aides, therapy, and support staff as pleasant, compassionate, and responsive to residents and families. Some reviewers describe rooms being kept clean, residents staying comfortable, and teams providing encouragement through rehab. Even in less positive accounts, a few comments acknowledge that some staff members were better than others.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Calls and responsiveness draw complaints

Multiple reviews describe slow help when residents need assistance.

Some reviewers say they waited a long time for help with getting on and off the bed, and others mention call-button delays. A few accounts also describe medical staff not following orders or not addressing health concerns until later, which they view as urgent. While some families report attentive care, these negative reviews point to reliability issues in certain situations.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised but also challenged

Reviews are split on cleanliness, with some calling it well-kept and others describing smells and grime.

Several reviews describe a clean, well-maintained environment, including clean rooms and housekeeping attention. Other reviewers report feeling the facility was dirty or smelled, and they describe neglect-related details such as wetting and missed assistance. One review also calls out equipment reliability problems like elevators being out of order, and another notes the building interior needs updating.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Activities vary by resident experience

Activities appear to depend on the resident and staffing, with experiences ranging from engaging to limited.

Some reviewers say daily activities were available and that residents joined programs like bingo and other group activities. Another review describes a lack of activities to keep residents busy and discourages time outdoors, attributing that to staffing behavior. A separate account praises recreation staff for persistent encouragement to get a loved one involved.
