Overall Review of Fieldston Lodge Care Center

caveat 18 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is mixed but discussed

Cleanliness is a recurring point, with both praise and serious complaints.

Several residents and visitors describe the building as clean or well kept, including comments about a clean environment and neat rooms. At the same time, other reviewers report odors and say the facility looks dirty or unhygienic. A few accounts tie these concerns to the time residents spend without bathing or with lingering smells. Overall, cleanliness comes up often, but the experiences do not match across reviews.

common 22 reviews mention this

Staff kindness shows up often

Many reviewers describe staff as respectful, helpful, and caring.

A common thread in the reviews is that staff members feel friendly and courteous, with multiple mentions of professionalism and respectful treatment. Some families also highlight communication and attentiveness from nurses or frontline staff. A number of reviewers contrast that with negative experiences involving specific roles or leadership, but they still often describe individual caregivers positively. Overall, staff demeanor and day-to-day interactions are a major theme across reviews.

caveat 14 reviews mention this

Understaffing and supervision are concerns

Residents and families raise concerns about staffing levels and supervision.

Multiple reviews describe the facility as understaffed, and a few connect that to missed needs like bathing and other basic care. Some accounts also mention residents not being properly supervised, including on dementia-focused floors. Even when reviewers still credit certain nurses or aides, they frequently pair that with complaints about coverage and responsiveness. This theme aligns with residents being cared for under a skilled nursing model that includes medication management and bathing assistance, but reviewers disagree on whether those supports are consistent.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Care routines and personal attention

Reviewers differ on personal-care consistency, including bathing and hygiene.

Several reviews report problems with basic personal care, including not getting showers or baths, delays around bathing schedules, and hygiene concerns. A few accounts describe residents returning with missing items or clothing mix-ups, and others mention how hard it was to resolve those issues. There are also positive comments about residents looking clean, comfort being improved, and care being provided respectfully. Taken together, the reviews suggest the level of hands-on care residents receive varies by situation and floor.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Communication and social work issues

Communication problems, especially around social work, come up repeatedly.

A recurring complaint is difficulty getting in touch with staff, particularly social work, directors, and management. Some reviewers say calls or emails were unanswered, and they describe delayed or incomplete information about care plans, discharge, or hospital transfers. Other reviews directly criticize how updates were handled and how concerns were addressed after the fact. While some reviewers praise responsiveness, communication and follow-through appear to be inconsistent across experiences.
