Don't place your loved ones at Fonda Care. My father-in-law moved moved there late 2023 for a year before passing. We visited 2-3 times a month, he was not clean. Poop on his jeans, crusted food on his shirt. The next day he was wearing the same clothes and NO they had not been washed. Multiple falls, no notification to our family. Not a good surprise to show up and find him in pain and bruised. It took 4 days of requests to get a specimen when he had UTI, he was septic due to a lack of care! Admin during fall 2024 was useless! Didn't return calls. When we requested to see her in person she was unavailable. We went to clean out his room morning after he passed. The $60 he had in his billfold the week before was missing along w new shoes and several gifts from the kids and grandkids. There are very limited activities available for residents, nothing to mentally or emotionally stimulate them daily. Good luck finding a place to sit when you visit!!!!

Has bed bugs and the management doesn’t care about staff, or that the residents needs are met yet they claim to have “quality care “ The cooperation only care about money. Keep your family members safe and healthy by not choose Fonda Specialty Care.

Hmm....I don't want to be THAT Person that passes judgement on a place I've never been to however in my previous experience as a nursing student I have found that it's really not that complex or difficult to clear someone's airway if someone or any worker is paying any type of attention to a client in distress.
