Overall Review of The Commons On St Anthony

common 13 reviews mention this

Staff kindness shows up often

Residents and families frequently describe the staff as compassionate and professional.

Many reviews highlight staff kindness, including therapists and nurses who families felt were caring and competent. Several residents’ families also mention feeling supported during rehab and recovery, and that communication and day-to-day help were professional. A few reviewers even call out friendliness that extends to the people cleaning rooms.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Care quality can feel inconsistent

Some families report serious concerns about care follow-through and responsiveness.

While some reviewers describe good experiences, multiple others report neglect-related problems and inadequate attention. A recurring complaint is that help is slow to arrive after call buttons, with residents left waiting or left in uncomfortable situations for long stretches. Other negative reviews describe communication gaps and situations where basic care—such as feeding, hygiene, or monitoring—was not handled as families expected.

common 7 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a frequent point

Several reviews mention the building and rooms as clean.

A number of reviewers say the facility is clean and well maintained, sometimes adding details about it smelling good or being organized. Some families also mention housekeeping staff as thorough and friendly, which reinforces the cleanliness theme. Even with complaints in other areas, the cleanliness remarks appear often in the feedback.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Food gets mixed feedback

Dining reviews include both praise and criticism about meal quality.

Several families and residents speak positively about meals being good or even excellent, including mentions of a dietitian reviewing available options. At the same time, other reviews describe meals as tasteless, cold, or lacking choices, with some people struggling to eat what was served. That mix suggests dining quality and meal experience may vary by unit and circumstance.

common 6 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy experiences vary

Reviews that focus on rehab describe both strong therapy support and gaps.

Multiple reviews connect the community with short-term rehab after falls, surgery recovery, or therapy needs, and some mention excellent therapists and knowledgeable care. Other reviewers describe periods where they felt they didn’t get enough therapy or where moving units disrupted their rehab plan. Taken together, rehab feedback is substantial but not uniformly positive.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Bed bug concerns appear repeatedly

Some reviews describe bed bug problems that concerned them during their stay.

A subset of reviews raises bed bug concerns, including reports of them spreading through the building. One reviewer also describes negative experiences when bringing the issue to staff, and another warns about home impact and the need for extermination rather than over-the-counter approaches. These accounts are limited compared with overall feedback, but they are consistent enough to stand out as a caution.
