Overall Review of Lecom At Presque Isle

caveat 16 reviews mention this

Staffing and call response concerns

Residents and families raise repeated concerns about staffing responsiveness and follow-through.

Across many reviews, families describe delays or gaps in day-to-day care, including call bells not being answered promptly and staff leaving without addressing the issue. Several reviewers also describe problems with basic needs like bathing, changing patients, and monitoring needs, with some claiming these issues led to serious health consequences. A smaller set of reviews are positive about caring interactions, but the critical reviews consistently point to being short-staffed for the number of patients and needs on the unit.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness issues are recurring

Multiple reviews mention the facility smelling bad or looking unclean.

Several reviewers describe noticeable odor on arrival and a facility that felt dirty or run-down. Others specifically mention patients sitting in filth, feces or urine, or finding conditions like dirty rooms and pests. A few reviews say the rooms were clean and comfortable, but the negative cleanliness comments show up often enough to be a major concern for many families.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Dining and meal reliability

Food quality and meal reliability come up in both complaints and limited positives.

Some reviewers directly criticize the food, including not being able to eat certain items and describing meals in negative terms. Others describe problems like residents not being offered food in the evening or meals not matching allergies, which suggests meal consistency can vary by situation. On the positive side, one reviewer notes that snacks are available but must be requested through dietary.

differentiator 3 reviews mention this

Ventilator and trachea-focused care

Residents needing trachea or ventilator support describe this as a good fit.

A few reviews highlight the community’s role in caring for people with trachea-related needs and full-time ventilation. One reviewer says it was the only nursing home in the area that specialized in trachea-related care, and another calls it the best option locally for someone on a ventilator. Another family describes their loved one transitioning to full-time vent needs over time while staff continued to handle required care.

common 3 reviews mention this

Activities and social options

Reviews frequently mention activities and opportunities to stay engaged.

Some reviewers describe ongoing activities and organized resident options, including activity staff that felt kind and attentive. Another reviewer says there were many activities to choose from, and that social time was part of their loved one’s routine as needs changed. In contrast, the most critical reviews focus more on care and cleanliness than on activities.
