Overall Review of St Barnabas At Siskin Hospital

common 4 reviews mention this

Diabetes-focused meals and support

Meals and monitoring come up often for diabetic or diet needs.

Several reviews mention diabetes-related meal planning and blood-sugar awareness during recovery. Residents describe staff bringing food that fits their restrictions and helping with day-to-day diet choices, including carbohydrate guidance in at least one review. One reviewer also points to a problematic diabetes-related care experience, so diet support isn’t uniformly described the same way.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Nursing response feels uneven

Nursing care and response times are described inconsistently in reviews.

Some residents and family members report frustration with how quickly nursing responds for help and comfort needs. Complaints include delayed medication or assistance, difficulty getting timely restroom support, and feeling that staffing limits attention during busy moments. Other reviews are more positive about nurses, but the negative accounts are specific enough that you’ll want to ask how calls are handled day to day.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Phone and front-desk communication issues

Front-desk and phone follow-through is a recurring problem.

Multiple reviews describe long waits, unanswered calls, or being sent to voicemail when trying to reach the facility. Some also mention missed reminders for appointments and difficulty getting help once calls go unanswered. Taken together, the feedback suggests communication can be a challenge when families are trying to coordinate care or logistics.
