Presbyterian Village at Hollidaysburg

The nursing aids are harsh towards the clients .. I have a family member in there, that is in their right mind. They see the nurses throw medicine towards the clients, use aggressive tones, and just treat the patients poorly! The elder have been through even! There should be cameras in the facility to monitor this behavior but there's not. It's unethical and abusive.

My mother was admitted on 11/21/205 to the nursing facility at Presbyterian Village. The nursing staff forgot to add two important drugs to her care plan, even though they had been ordered by UPMC Hospital. One of the drugs was aspirin for its blood thinning properties. After not receiving the two prescribed drugs for 9 days, my mother developed pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis. I believe she died as a result a their negligence. When confronted with these facts, the executive director did not deny that they had made a significant error. I would not recommend this home for anyone.

The elderly get so overcharged. Cancelling their activities almost daily. These folks pay a lot, and I do mean a LOT to live there. Why not supply them with the daily activities that are printed out for each day of the month? All you do is set these folks up to looking forward to the listed daily activities only to be let down because, THEY'RE CANCELLED!!?? Also, their hot foods are rarely warm. Vegetables are mostly undercooked. Seriously, who is in charge of all of this???? No employee stays long but one or two. The rest go as fast as they came.

All I see is take take take from the residents there but in return they get not

Please do not put your loved one here. Higher ups are never here. You reach out to corporate in Dillsburg nothing happens. Problems are brought to the Administrators in personal care and nothing is done about it. The nurses and aids are wonderful. They are overworked and underpaid. Always short on help. Your loved one cant be taken care of properly. Gave my uncle expired medications. There is one nurse here who sits medications in front of residents and never sees that they take them. Higher ups are aware... They do nothing. They dont want bothered. Put your loved one somewhere else. I am calling the state and county. This place is awful. They just want your money. They are overcharged for everything. This is in response to the answer below.. Why would I call corporate when you don't re

I love the Personal Care Unit of this facility. Its an extremely helpful option when a loved one can no longer take care of themselves to cook and clean but it gives them a private space to call their own but interact with others on their comfort level. The staff has always followed up on my concerns and requests, promptly. I appreciate all that they do as I no longer live in the area.
