• He was there two weeks and never received any therapy.
• The dining area and rooms were very old and outdated.

Review

Choosing a facility for an elderly loved one can be a difficult and emotional decision. Sometimes, the promises made by these facilities do not align with the reality of the care provided. One reviewer shared that they placed their mother in a facility that initially seemed promising but ultimately left her overmedicated and unaware of her surroundings. This lack of care led to a devastating leg amputation due to a neglected blister. However, they found solace when they moved their mother to Fenton Health Care, where she received better medication management and experienced a noticeable improvement in her attitude and well-being.

While the care at Fenton Health Care appeared to be more satisfactory, not all reviewers had positive experiences with the facility. Another individual expressed disappointment in the focus on revenue rather than patient well-being. They felt hounded for money owed but received no condolences or explanations when their loved one tested positive for Covid-19 after leaving the facility. It seemed that genuine compassion and public relations were no longer prioritized in this environment.

One reviewer's relative experienced an unpleasant stay at Fenton Health Care due to the outdated facilities that emitted strong odors of urine and feces. The rooms lacked proper beds, resembling cots instead, and were cramped with three patients separated only by curtains. Despite this, they did appreciate the kindness of the staff.

The outdated conditions of Fenton Health Care were also mentioned by another reviewer who expressed dissatisfaction with narrow rooms housing three patients each. They noted a lack of modernization within the facility as it appeared unchanged over time. While they did not specifically criticize the staff, it was evident that they felt underwhelmed by their experience.

Unfortunately, not all experiences at Fenton Health Care were as tame as those described above. One individual's father had such a terrible experience at the facility that they eventually reported it to state authorities. The outdated nature of the building was amplified by overworked staff who lacked compassion for both patients and the quality of care provided. The small room and subpar food further contributed to their disappointment and dissatisfaction.

In addition to facility-related shortcomings, some reviewers encountered organizational issues at Fenton Health Care. One reviewer's friend was repeatedly sent to wrong appointments at different offices, with no advocate present to assist her in navigating these mix-ups.

Though there were varying levels of satisfaction expressed by the reviewers regarding Fenton Health Care, it is clear that improvements need to be made in terms of facility conditions, staffing ratios, communication, and organization. While some found comfort in the caring staff and noticed positive changes in their loved ones' well-being, others felt let down by a lack of compassion and outdated facilities. Ultimately, it is important for families to thoroughly research and visit potential care facilities before making a decision based on individual needs and priorities.
