St Elizabeth's Place

I have been in St. Elizabeths in Jonesboro, AR for a month of rehabilitation. The OT & PT staff are all amazing people to work with. I have really enjoyed working with them! And, the nurses are all really good at what they do! Very happy with both the therapy & the nurses! 5 (for therapy staff & nurses only)But, they are very short staffed with the CNAs. And, they dont seem to work well as a team. From the housekeepers, CNAs & the kitchen staff they need better training! I have worked in a kitchen myself in a state facility for many years before I became disabled. They could all 3 do a lot better. They arent giving the residents the care they deserve. It saddens me to hear the staff talking about other residents & bad mouthing other staff members. Just bc most of the residents are older doesnt mean they cant here you talk. And, leaving them sitting in their potty pants for hours without changing them is very disrespectful to these residents. They arent babies & they deserve better. I am very disappointed in what I have seen! Thank goodness I am very verbal myself but my roommate isnt & I have been speaking up for her. She is a very kind person & doesnt complain as much as she should. I hope by this review maybe they can actually take a look at their lower staff the ones that spend the most time with their residents! BTW, the food here sucks! Not good at all! Nothing has any flavor. They either over cook or under cook their food. They need a better menu with a wider selection for residents to choose from. And, the staff doesnt give out the snacks to the residents, either! If I had to give stars for the CNAs, housekeepers & food staff I would only give them a half a star if even that!!!!

Great facility. Took very good care of my uncle while he was with us. We have tried different nursing homes and this facility was by far the best. Clean facility, with friendly workers. Thank you all very much for everything.

The sweetest crew, kindest caring nurses and Cnas, as an LPN, I'm thrilled to a part of such great teamwork!!

Staff very friendly on all shifts. Facility decorated for holidays, really shows just how much they care for the residents. Families even got to decorate doors for a contest for fall doors. Very appreciated.
