Key Review Excerpts
“I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of JJ, a healthcare aide at Railside Living Center. She cares for my dad, Orv, who is living with dementia—and I honestly couldn’t ask for a more compassionate and dedicated person to be by his side.”
“I regret that I chose Railside Assisted Living for my Dad. They were not responsive to questions and gave me an incorrect facility ID number which post-poned the entry time which caused my family great distress due to his deteriorating condition.”
“This facility does not provide proper care for residents. I personally witnessed basic hygiene being neglected, such as teeth not being brushed and clothes not being kept clean. Staff often spoke to residents in a disrespectful way, sometimes yelling instead of showing patience and compassion.”

Additionally, there have been documented instances of resident falls resulting in injuries and issues with food labeling and linen cleanliness.
Resident's medications were not updated timely.
Multiple food items in kitchenettes and main kitchen were unlabeled with appropriate open dates, making safety determination impossible.

Resident A did not have a tuberculosis (TB) screening on record performed within 12 months prior to admission.
Clean linen storage area contained non-linen items (step stool, housekeeping cart, Hoyer sling, etc.), posing a risk for cross-contamination.

Additional Findings: Documentation of resident falls and subsequent hospitalizations for injuries (broken ribs).
