Mayfair Manor

This is the nastiest, most horrible run nursing home that I have ever worked in my whole 26 years as a nurse aide. The nursing management team is a joke. No place for the elderly. I know for a fact, they sit in soiled diapers longer than 4 hrs. At a time. The housekeepers never mop the floors. Its understaffed. Me and another aide worked on Christmas 16 hrs. Just me n her to 44 ppl and the other unit had one aide to 44 ppl. It needs to be shut down cuz quality care isn't there.

My experience with this nursing home was bad. My dad fell and broke his neck. When they called to tell me he had fallen they said he was okay. I was on my way to the facility when they called me. When I arrived the manager who had called me had left, gone to lunch. When I walked into my dad's room it was clear he was not okay. He didn't remember falling. The back of his head was bleeding onto his pillow. He had hit his head on the bathroom wall when he fell. There was still blood on the wall and his wound had not been cleaned. I don't know how long he laid in the bathroom floor, but when they did find him they picked him up, sat him in a wheelchair, wheeled him to the bed, then lifted him form the wheelchair and laid him in bed. And then just assumed he was okay. I called an ambulance and had him taken to the hospital. They confirmed he had a broken neck. He could no longer swallow so a feeding tube was inserted into his stomach. He spent three more months in another nursing home, a few weeks at home, then he died under hospice care at the hospital. The nursing home made several bad judgement calls while my dad was in their care. They didn't put alarms on the bed to alert to when he mught be trying to get up on his own, they had instructed him to push the call button for the nurse when he wanted to get up. He was admitted to the nursing home for rehab for a broken back. He also had dementia and couldn't remember things. When he was first admitted he vax no towels or wash cloths in his room. I was told he would have to go to the supply closet himself each day to get what he neeed. That didn't make sense to me. Another time his physical therapist informed me she thought he may have a UTI. We informed a nurse if her suspicions. Her response she wasn't his nurse. We found his nurse and told her. Four days later the doctor finally ran a test and confirmed the infection and prescribed antibiotics. My dad's injury devasted my mom. She died 3 weeks after he died . I would never recommend this nursing home to anyone.

My dad has done extremely well here and the staff love him. They have gone out of their way to give him a high quality of life. Although I have wished for better communication with the nursing staff when dad has illnesses, I have never doubted that they were doing the best possible to care for him.
