Review of Good Shepherd Community Nursing Center
I am wanting to know how many residents they have in the center. And what is provided to the residents.We have been told the resident have to provide their own toilet paper and soap and shampoo. What do they provide and how do they take care of their residents? I would like some feed back on this please. My husband has a brother in there and we are concerned about this. Some his family live in the area but are unable to provide all for him. In most nursing centers the center provide the toliet paper and soap and shampoo for the resident. Also I understand it is not restraint free.We have heard that they use some kind of restraints on the residents that have problems. Please anyone out in the area please e-mail me back...I would like as much feedback as possible on this...Also what tyoe of activities do they have for the residents and what kind of meals do they have. What is the ratio of care givers to the number of residnts they have. I cannot find any information on the number of beds the center has. Also the number of license personnel per ratio. How many RN's are there?How about the therpies.We have a lot of questions.And we would like some answers on this matter. I have looked at the survey for them and it not to bad but there is some concern on the danger of the resident complaint.Is there on going in service for the caregivers?
