Our experience with Oceanside Senior Living

The residents don't appear to be closely monitored. As a result family members need to check on resident needs . An example is trimming finger and toe nails. The laundry process does not work. My Mom is missing a great deal of her clothes and has more clothes from other residents put in her room than her own clothes. Simple things such as toilet paper and adult diapers are not provided. Few if any activities are done anymore.

Response from the community

We take all concerns like this seriously, but we must clarify our procedures. Staff are not allowed to trim residents' nails, but our podiatrist visits every month for this purpose. We also do not provide toiletries nor incontinence supplies. This was all information provided upon move in, but we are happy to clarify further what is included. Please reach out to our Executive Director, as the care and happiness of both residents and families is our top priority.

As a family member, I am extremely disappointed in the leadership at this community. Over time, it became very clear that management does not truly care about staff or residents. Concerns are brushed off, and nothing ever changes. When people in charge don’t show compassion or accountability, it creates an environment that feels unsafe and uncaring.

Review for Oceanside Senior Living

There does not appear to be enough staff for the number of residents. There also is a difficulty keeping up with needed maintenance of the building and grounds. Communication from staff regarding resident medical issues also needs improvement.

Response from the community

We read all online reviews and appreciate constructive feedback. A quick note about the number of staff per resident. This number is based upon our state licensing requirements, and we maintain those standards. We will forward your comments on to local and regional management for their review.

Oceanside Review

The transition in was pretty terrible. [name removed], who reviewed my father initially at his skilled nursing facility set him as the lowest level of care, which turned out to be far from the case and felt like her way of making the facility seem cheaper. They almost immediately moved him from level 1 to level 4, but she had never established any sort of care plan or pharmaceutical needs and was then promoted to the site manager or something and was just clueless. Thankfully, her replacement, [name removed], was g
