However, there is a recurring pattern of concern regarding inconsistent nursing care, specifically regarding medication administration delays and occasional unprofessional or dismissive behavior from staff. Families should be prepared to advocate actively for their loved ones, as experiences appear to vary depending on the specific staff members on duty.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My Father was admitted for physical therapy rehab and when he came out he was ten times stronger and more capable in his mobility it's like looking at a new man with an awesome Go to attitude”
“The Nazareth staff would stop whatever they were doing to tend to, not only mom's needs, but our needs as well. The nurses and CNA's would sincerely ask us how we were holding up and make sure that we felt like we were a part of the Nazareth family.”
“Much of the staff is very caring and nurturing but some are horrible. They left my paralyzed friend who had a deadly infection sit there for 4 hours without changing her. She went without pain meds or her reg meds for hrs also”
