These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
St. Camillus Health Center presents a polarized experience, with some families praising the beautiful campus and compassionate care, while others report significant concerns regarding management, staffing shortages, and poor communication. While independent living residents often report high satisfaction with amenities and staff, those in skilled nursing and memory care have raised serious alarms about neglect, high staff turnover, and administrative failures.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses were exceptionally kind and treated her with so much respect. They brought so much joy to my day every time I saw them in passing.”
“On more than one occasion I was present recently when a 'pool' nurse tried to give my Mom the wrong medication. I had to tell her protocol for meds at that time of day.”
“The staff was violently abusive while they bathed her and verbally abusive the rest of the time. Residents wander around like zombies.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
