What this means for your family

Midwest Covenant Home is widely regarded for its clean environment and helpful, personable staff. However, given the recent report regarding poor responsiveness and dismissive care, we strongly advise families to observe staff interaction with residents during unannounced visits and to ask specifically about their protocols for responding to call lights.

Staff were VERY helpful. First Lady took me to supervisor who would know who I was looking for, and that lady stopped what she was doing and guided me across entire bldg to the Nurse I needed to speak to! Top notch personable care.

The facility shows recurring problems in three main areas: quality of care and treatment, electrical and safety systems, and medication management.
