Harborview Thomaston

I This nursing home is a 0!!! My husband came home after a brief stay, dry mouth, leather tongue, deranged No!! way the way he arrived there. I believe no meds was given because all is vidal were high. I called the director to give me some information on what have happened and he was so rude to me. Over talking me ,one step from curse me out. Very rude. My husband lived 3 weeks after leaving that nursing home cause he never recovered. Family members beware. Read the reviews!!!!

I would absolutely give this place ZERO stars if I could. The only redeeming quality is the physical therapy department. The physical therapists were wonderful. The "nurses" don't care, the facility will try to keep you as many days as your insurance approved you to stay, and the food is something I wouldn't feed my dog. Thank God my family member was only here for rehab...if you value your life or that of your family, think twice before coming here. My family member was medically mismanaged and less than a month after discharge was admitted to Intermediate Care (just below ICU) and is going on 2 weeks in the hospital. They gave his insulin hours before meals or not at all so his diabetes, which was well controlled prior to admission, is no longer controlled. He had a catheter at the begin

I will say with confidence that the nurses really try to take care of my dad. I read about the cleanliness and it is not perfect. I would rather have a knowledgeable nurse than the smartest custodian. It is hard to find a good worker anywhere these days. Every day I enter the building I look for how the workers treat people. I think that harbor view has a good all around staff.

I would strongly advise anyone considering this nursing home for their loved ones to look elsewhere. From what I’ve seen and heard, this place is extremely poorly run. The building itself is rundown, the rooms smell musty and unclean, and it’s obvious that the facility hasn’t been properly maintained in a long time. The staff environment is concerning — most of the employees are either related or in relationships with each other, creating a toxic and unprofessional atmosphere. There’s clear favoritism, which seems to affect how things get handled (or ignored). CNAs often leave residents waiting with their call lights on for an alarming amount of time, and basic care is frequently neglected. It’s also clear that the staff is overworked and severely underpaid. Management continues to pile

There is ABSOLUTELY no communication to the family about what goes on with the care or lack thereof of their clients. Even with asking repeatedly to be informed about the care of my family member, this facility constantly ignores our requests. How do you send someone out for an amputation and never inform the family until it’s done! And we only got knowledge of the amputation because we called to speak with my brother to check in on him. Spoke with the nurse who then informed us, like it was last on their things to do list for the day. Allowing the patient in your care to fall and the family not be informed…doctor’s appointments or small things that could lead to big things. NO COMMUNICATION! If my brother didn’t have a cellphone, we would never know anything.
