Westminster Healthcare Center

Folks, I wouldnt even put my worse hated enemy in this place. My father was in this facility for rehab and his family anticipated a month-two month stay. He was wheelchair bound with right sided weakeness from a stroke. NEVER, EVER were there fall precaution signs posted anywhere. This was not a situation where he was admitted and forgotten about. If we werent visiting, we were all calling to even remind all staff (even prior to his arrival) that he was a falls risk. Rather than be watched carefully, he was placed in a room without supervision, banged his head on the wall, fell trying to stand up, and broke his hip. He also contracted pneumonia here. Since my father had ephagia from his stroke, he was difficult to understand if you didnt know him well. He was sent to the ER, (we were told as a precaution.) When we arrived to visit him, he could be heard in the ER screaming in pain. We were never told by this facility that he could has possible rib fractures. The next day, my dad passed away. The attending physician ruled it as an accidental death, to which she stated,"this should have never happened." OSHA was contacted, and I received over 100 pages of complaints. Shut this place down! No family deserves to lose their loved one to nursing home negligence.

My mom was there for about 3 weeks before her passing at age 91. I thought she was taken care of very well. Everyone was so nice, caring n courteous. I was really pleased.

My mother-in-law moved into Westminster Healthcare Center. To be honest, it was the only one that had a bed that was open at the time. Also, they take Medicaid once she runs out of money. When we have been there, they try to pay more attention to her. There is one nurse on staff who does take care of her. But as far as the other ones go, I would say that they're not the absolute nicest. They're OK, but not as warm and fuzzy as I was expecting. My mother-in-law is very happy with the food there. She mentions them playing with this ball and bouncing back and forth with each other, and she enjoys that. They have worked with her on walking, so she is up walking at this point.

Friend/Family

Friend is at this awful place. She is left in bed soaked. Staff does not come when called. Her clothes keep disappearing. Her Food is often cold and not what she would like. And she is not transported to her medical appointments in a timely fashion. They are suppose to have access to timely medical transportation but that seems to be a misgiving as well. I walked in and it smells nasty, to many people to a room, looks very unclean. Medicare is paying for these services and I do believe that Medicare needs to be notified of the circumstances at this place. I will never allow any of my loved ones to enter this place for any reason.

My Mom was a patient @ Westminster Healthcare for 8 years. She loved some of the staff and residents. Unfortunately she passed away on August 2, 2023. She was admitted to Carroll County hospital and the transferred to GW hospital with severe unstageable, pressure wounds in her sacrum area. These were documented within minutes of arriving to Carroll County ER. Of course the staff had no documentation on this, and tried to blame the hospital, which is impossible. My mom ended up with a bone infection & a fracture in her lumbar spine, which contributed to her early demise.

My friend has moved into Westminster Healthcare Center for physical therapy and rehab. I think it's just not organized enough to provide for the residents. I've been there at different times of the day and haven't seen any activities. I have been told that they have activities, but I don't think they make much effort to get the residents to come participate. My friend just wanders around all day without anybody saying, "Hey, come join us in this." It's a shared room. The room is very adequate. My friend has not complained at all. She should be invited to participate in something to keep her constructively busy.
