Overall Review of Orchard View Manor

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Medication handling draws concerns

Several residents’ family members describe medication errors or delays.

Some reviewers report problems with medication administration, including missed doses, pills found in drawers or pockets, and medication timing that was described as late. One review also describes concern about medication mix-ups and follow-up communication after discharge. While the facility is described as providing medication management in its care services, these reports point to inconsistent execution that families found alarming.

Cleanliness is mixed

Reviews describe both clean, updated spaces and episodes of poor upkeep.

A number of reviewers say the facility is clean and even updated, and some mention good comfort and cleanliness during their stay. Others describe the building as dirty or run down, mention strong unpleasant odors, and report issues like missing showers or bed-related cleanliness. There are also complaints about pests, which conflicts with the positive cleanliness comments.
