Review

Hooper Care Center has been receiving mixed reviews from its residents and their family members. While some appreciate the friendly staff and proximity to their loved ones, others express grave concerns about the treatment of residents and lack of compassion shown by the staff.

One particular issue that stands out is the rude behavior of some staff members. Family members have reported instances of yelling and being hung up on while checking on their loved ones, specifically mentioning a staff member named Melissa. This type of disrespectful behavior is deeply troubling and raises questions about the overall professionalism of the staff at Hooper Care Center.

Another significant concern raised by reviewers is the lack of attention given to basic needs such as feeding and hydration. Some families allege that residents are not being adequately provided with meals and fluids throughout each day, resulting in dehydration and even starvation. It is distressing to think that those who are entrusted with the care of vulnerable individuals may be neglecting such essential aspects of their well-being.

Compassion, or rather lack thereof, is a recurring theme in these reviews. Both residents and their family members feel that they are not being treated with kindness or understanding. The director Diane, along with her staff, have been accused of defensiveness when confronted with these issues instead of taking the time to address them appropriately. This disregard for empathy creates an atmosphere that can only be described as frightening for both residents and their loved ones.

However, it is important to acknowledge that not all feedback about Hooper Care Center has been negative. There are those who find the facility adequate and appreciate the friendly staff. One reviewer mentions that physical therapy sessions are conducted regularly for residents like his mother-in-law who suffer from dementia. Engaging activities such as folding towels and making quilt walks are also provided to keep residents busy throughout the day.

Yet, despite these positive aspects mentioned by some reviewers, it is crucial for Hooper Care Center to address the serious concerns raised by other families regarding the treatment of residents. By ensuring that all staff members demonstrate professionalism and compassion, the facility can work towards creating a safe and nurturing environment for those in their care.

In conclusion, Hooper Care Center has received both praise and criticism from residents and their family members. While some appreciate the friendly staff and engaging activities for residents, others express deep concerns about rude behavior, neglect of basic needs, and lack of compassion shown by certain staff members. It is essential for the facility to address these issues seriously and make necessary improvements to create an atmosphere that instills confidence in their residents' families.
