What this means for your family

While recent reviews highlight significant facility upgrades and a more attentive staff, the facility has a history of serious medical neglect allegations. We strongly recommend that you schedule an unannounced visit and ask specifically about their protocols for wound care and how they handle communication with families during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts

The building was incredibly clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we stepped in. The staff were not only nice but also showed genuine care and support for my aunt.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Horrible place ... in one month, June 2022, my husband had a bladder infection so badly that he was hallucinating and was sent to Butler Hospital ICU. ER showed me the black bandaged they said was probably never changed since he got to this place.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

My dad went here after surgery for an abscess in his groin. He was to have a wound VAC, since it was too much trouble for the employees to worry about. They disconnected it. They claim he was too rowdy at night so they had the doctor of the nursing home prescribe sedatives.

Shippenville has faced repeated issues with medication management, care planning, and facility safety across multiple surveys, with families filing six formal complaints about care quality and living conditions. The most concerning pattern involves recurring problems with proper medication labeling, resident assessments, and ensuring appropriate treatment according to care plans. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across 2023-2025 surveys suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent standards of care.
