Review

Golden Rule Skilled Nursing Care is a facility that has received mixed reviews from different individuals who have entrusted their loved ones' care to them. One reviewer expressed their deep dissatisfaction, alleging negligence that led to the tragic death of their brother due to starvation. They claimed that despite their brother's inability to feed himself after suffering a stroke, the staff failed to provide him with proper nourishment. This resulted in a dramatic weight loss, and sadly, his passing shortly thereafter.

On the other hand, another reviewer shared a completely different experience, emphasizing the high level of care and compassion provided by the professionals at Golden Rule. They were initially anxious about placing their mother in this facility but were pleasantly surprised by the attentive and loving care she received. The nursing staff and therapists demonstrated genuine concern for her well-being and treated her as if she were part of their own family.

Additionally, another individual recounted how Golden Rule Skilled Nursing Care went above and beyond in caring for their grandfather who was diagnosed with dementia. The staff displayed immense patience while dealing with his forgetfulness and occasional outbursts of anger. They readily addressed any concerns raised by family members and took great pride in ensuring both his emotional well-being and physical health were attended to. The clean facilities provided a warm and inviting environment for residents, particularly during holidays when special events were organized.

In conclusion, it is evident that opinions on the quality of care at Golden Rule Skilled Nursing Care are polarized. While one review raised serious concerns about neglect leading to a tragic outcome, others praised the facility for its compassionate staff, exceptional professionalism, and commitment to ensuring residents' happiness. It is crucial for families considering this facility to thoroughly research its reputation and assess whether it aligns with their expectations for their loved ones' long-term care needs.
