surry

been there many times for visits. They need Lisa Ladd back and the place would not be so nasty and smelly. The residents were cleaner and happier when Lisa, Donna, Tamela, and Melinda were there and that is what they need again.

I worked there, I was a good worker I thought, hours got cut,new employess got all hours, I loved the residents and miss them still but nothing was ever good enough I was there almost a yr.

Sorry Jason. Good luck Crossroad!

Wow I have an interview there tomorrow now I'm not so sure I wanna go..I know I didn't see any staff except for office when I went in today there was no one up front to tell me where to go and residents were just sitting by the door in wheelchairs looking sad..it did smell really strong of urine as well but I figured it may be someone needing changing..

Jimmy still works there in the kitchen. Yes his wife **** did get fired along with ****.

There's a Jimmy guy who works there. Is this you??? Did'nt your wife get FIRED a few weeks ago??????

I removed several posts for libel, as well as the replies to those posts.

I will have to call b/s on someone actually calling the nurse investigators about this joint.

They SURE do!!!!

Oh, I guess they ignored it all then...

Nope done that!

all of these issues with this place could be resolved by calling in state authorities...

and now she gives out meds. how sad

PLEASE TELL ME SHE IS NOT GIVING MEDS?????? i'VE GOTTA GO NOW BUT I WILL BE BACK.

I'm sure she was. Lord, It was AWFUL there.

yep fairy i know who u are talking talking about she was a pca now she gives meds i think. she was mean to my relative also

There's one lady who works there and she's nothing but trouble. **** If you go there and get hired STAY AWAY FROM HER! You will be sorry if you don't. Trust me.

Note from GoSurry: a portion of this post was removed for personal attacks.

Now it's called Elkin Assisted Living. And NO you don't want to go there. The employees don't do ANYTHING for those residents. Everyone they hire quits because other employees runs them off!!! That's why they don't have many working there right now. They also lost alot of residents. Within a year they had like 55 residents now they don't even have 30.

yep they have cockroaches there and the people don't get a bath like they should. it smells like urine all the time. i had a relative there for about a month and needless to say they are not there now.

I have never worked there but have visited residents there many times and could not agree more with your observations.

The physical state of some of our seniors is certainly sad and unfortunately a fact of life for some. There is no acceptable excuse for bad sanitary conditions. There are several similar facilities in this area (Wilkes/Surry/Yadkin) that are very well maintained, bright, as cheerful as possible and absolutley odor-free.

I do not understand the reply post. If by "getting someone in office that can turn it around" is speaking to the management of this particular facility, then I probably agree. This place has a longstanding reputation of being smelly and depressing. If other facilities are not this way (and all aren't) then surely a management/ownership change is long overdue. If "getting someone in office that can turn it around" is in reference to some elected official then that is downright hilarious. The expectation that an elected official, whether a county commissioner or POTUS or any office in between can or will eradicate the aroma of urine at a privately run nursing home, I sure hope those thinking that way stay home election day.
