What this means for your family

While the facility is physically modern and offers effective short-term rehabilitation, there is a consistent pattern of reports regarding neglect and understaffing in long-term care. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend visiting unannounced during off-hours and asking specifically about nurse-to-patient ratios and the process for escalating care concerns to management.

The Commons on St. Anthony presents a stark contrast between its modern, well-maintained physical environment and significant concerns regarding the quality of long-term care. While many reviewers praise the rehabilitation services and the facility's cleanliness, multiple families report serious issues with neglect, understaffing, and poor communication from administration. Prospective families should be aware that experiences appear to vary significantly between the short-term rehab units and long-term care wings.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given the facility's size of nearly 300 residents, what specific protocols are in place to ensure that call bells are answered promptly and that residents' basic daily needs are met consistently?
  • 2I noticed the facility has a modern, well-maintained environment; could you walk me through your current laundry and housekeeping procedures to ensure that residents' clothing and bedding are kept clean and sanitary?
  • 3With the current staffing levels, how does your team prioritize care and communication to ensure that families stay well-informed about their loved one's health and daily status?
  • 4Since medication management is a critical part of care, could you explain the oversight process your nursing team uses to ensure accuracy and timely administration for residents?
  • 5What specific activities or social programs are available to help residents feel engaged and connected within such a large community?
  • 6In the event of a medical change or emergency, what is your standard process for notifying family members and coordinating care with the resident's primary physician?

Key Review Excerpts

My mom came here for physio rehabilitation after a fall and we have nothing but great things to say about the people here. They were super kind, and the physio therapists excellent.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★★

I can say the place is very clean but I wouldnot have anyone I know go here. My father was left on the toilet for 2 hours in between shift changes , he was immobile.

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

The facility is beautiful. And I honestly loved it as a nurse BUT they have bedbugs traveling through the building and when you complain your contract is cut short.

This facility has a concerning pattern of complaint-triggered deficiencies, with families filing reports that led to citations for abuse prevention, resident rights violations, and medication management issues. The facility shows recurring problems across surveys in resident rights protection, medication safety, and electrical/fire safety systems. While all deficiencies have reported correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across multiple years and the serious nature of complaint-driven findings warrant careful consideration during any visit.
