    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of Alpine Fireside reveal a mixed bag of experiences, ranging from high praise for the care provided to serious concerns about the facility's practices and handling of COVID-19 cases.

    • Several reviews highlight concerns about the facility's handling of COVID-19, contradicting claims of no cases with reports of 65 cases and 5 deaths as of August 2021.
    • There are allegations of underhanded dealings by the administration, including having residents sign documents they do not understand and issues with the handling of Power of Attorney.
    • Communication issues are noted, with reports of difficulty in contacting the facility and a lack of responsiveness from administrative staff.
    • Negative experiences include a resident dying alone without last rites, reports of bed sores, E. coli, staff infections, and neglect in patient care.
    • On the positive side, many reviews praise the care provided, describing staff as going above and beyond, with specific commendations for the therapy department and the compassionate, comprehensive care received by residents.
    • Some reviewers specifically mention their loved ones enjoying their stay, highlighting the facility as one of the better nursing homes in the area and commending its efforts during the pandemic to keep residents safe.
    • However, there are also reports of excellent care being overshadowed by tragic experiences, including a case where a resident was found in a critical condition due to alleged neglect.

    In summary, while there are numerous accounts of positive experiences and commendations for the staff's dedication and care, Alpine Fireside also faces serious criticisms regarding its practices, communication, and handling of health crises.
