Overall Review of Colonial Center

common 11 reviews mention this

Caring, respectful staff

Residents and families frequently describe staff as caring and respectful.

Many reviews highlight kindness, compassion, and respect from nurses, CNAs, and other staff members. Several families say staff work with them as advocates, including communicating with caregivers and addressing concerns. Others describe a “home-like” feel and staff who treat residents like family, which supports the overall impression of a supportive caregiving culture.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Understaffing hurts response times

Multiple reviewers report staffing shortages and slow responses to needs.

A recurring concern is that help is not delivered in time, including delayed responses to calls for assistance. Several reviews explicitly mention being understaffed on different schedules, and some describe situations where basic care needs appeared overlooked. A separate complaint involves rude or unhelpful communication when trying to reach the facility by phone.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Bathing and daily hygiene gaps

Some reviews describe missed showers and insufficient bathing.

Some residents did not receive showers or baths as expected, according to families who describe scheduling that left hygiene needs unmet. One review says a shower was missed for several days despite being requested, and another says their loved one never received a bath during a one-week stay. A third review also alleges extended periods without bathing, contributing to an overall concern about consistency in hands-on personal care.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Facility condition and cleanliness

Reviews describe both cleanliness praise and concerns about an outdated, dirty environment.

A few reviewers say the facility felt clean and well cared for, including comments about avoiding a typical “nursing home” smell. However, other reviews describe the building as old and dirty, with poor upkeep and mismatches between photos and what visitors saw. Complaints also include the need for renovations and regular maintenance, reinforcing concerns about living conditions for some residents.
