Tomahawk Health Services

NO STARS Employees only come to work to collect a paycheck. The lack of staffing and mismanagement that happens behind these closed doors is not at the quality of standards or to preserve life. Management is run by under qualified staff that doesn't have the knowledge, background or skills to fulfill the basic needs for residents let alone how you can legally conduct yourself with other staff members. Both Sister facilities have bad reputation in this community and surrounding for consistent mistakes made by staff that is harmful to the residents physical self as well as mental stability. My step father was unfortunately killed by these facilities. My mother kept him alive and souly took care of him for 7 years until she couldn't physically pick him up to assist in his daily needs. It took the facilities less than a month to kill him. First they starved him to death, he is bed ridden and when released to these facilities he was sent with specific instructions for being in bed and being on a blended/soft diet. Well, needless to say the staff made their own rules and starved him for the first week, then did a liquid diet only and after the staff was caught lieing about actually feeding him they stuffed food right into his lungs from too large of bites and feeding him too fast for his condition. One staff member even had the nerve to lie and say that he talked to her with actual words but yet this man hasn't been able to speak for roughly a little over a year by this point. His condition deteriorated him quicker in the facilities. The amount of times we found him slouching in a chair and left alone in his room by the staff was mind boggling. The guy was top heavy and needed a chest strap (transported from bed anywhere in a wheelchair.) The amount of falls he took because of being put in a chair and left alone without the proper safety equipment to secure him. I could continue but unfortunately this still makes my blood boil! I suggest taking ur loved ones to another town if forced into any kind of nursing home care!

My grandpa just got placed here a few weeks ago. The staff is very friendly and takes great care of him. They make sure he is comfy and will answer any questions we may have about him or the nursing home

This took took excellent care of my Grandpa. The entire staff made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Grandpa didn't like people in general, but he really did like the staff here and brought it up when we would visit, which was noteworthy. They threw him a lovely birthday party (complete with a cake with a canoe on it, he did love canoeing), would bring him a hot drink every night, and did everything they could to make him feel loved and cared for when he passed. We are truly grateful to this group for the way they took care of him.

I am a guardian for a current and past resident of this facility. I have been so impressed with the level of care, the social interaction, and the cleanliness of this facility. The staff has worked very hard to help both residents become much more interested in their surroundings. When rehab was needed they both did well and thrived, with one being able to return successfully home. It feels so much like a family environment and not a nursing home. I can not say enough good things about this care facility.
