Overall Review of Mckenzie County Healthcare Systems Long Term Care

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Billing and pricing feel unpredictable

Several residents describe unexpected charges or high costs for care.

Cost comes up repeatedly in the reviews, with complaints about bills arriving after visits, charges tied to tests or procedures, and disputes over what should have been disclosed. Some residents also describe problems after-the-fact, like accounts being sent to collections or paying an amount and still seeing additional charges. A few reviews contrast this with other options for care in town, saying they would not return due to the total cost experience.

common 20 reviews mention this

Staff caring and professional

Many residents describe staff as caring, courteous, and professional during visits.

A strong share of the reviews focus on people they encountered—nurses, providers, and therapists—describing them as attentive, kind, and genuinely concerned. Several residents mention calm communication, thorough explanations, and follow-up after appointments, including urgent care experiences and inpatient or procedure care. Even where reviews are critical overall, the praise for individual clinicians and teams appears often enough to stand out as a recurring positive theme.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Some visits involve long waits

Some residents report long ER waits and delays for attention or meds.

Waiting time is a recurring complaint, especially around emergency care, where at least a couple of residents describe multiple hours before a diagnosis or before being seen. Other reviews describe being left waiting for medication or for staff to return after a call button request. One resident also says they were seen quickly, so the experience appears inconsistent depending on the visit.

common 5 reviews mention this

Facilities feel clean and modern

Multiple residents mention cleanliness and a newer-feeling facility.

Several reviews describe the environment as clean and, in some cases, almost brand new, including praise for registration and getting results the same day. Others mention expectations for clinic-style wait times while still describing the visit as smooth. The negative side includes at least one resident describing housekeeping issues and another describing the hospital as dirty, indicating mixed housekeeping experiences.
