Palmyra Nursing Home Inc

The nursing home is located on a busy street that is also named Palmyra. On the front step there are rocking chairs and potted plants. On the inside it looks clean and well-staffed. It smelled like Bengay and stool. And I have found that older people generally smell that way. The rooms are just enough for the resident(s) and maybe a visitor. The room that my uncle was in had two beds and he had a roommate that chewed snuff. I know that my uncle didn't chew snuff but when I came back he was chewing it too! And he actually swallowed it! I asked his roommate why did he give it to him he said he offered and he accepted. The staff has a semi-attentive attitude. When I told them about this incident they didn't seem too concerned. They don't look happy or sad, they look like they are just there. My uncle was there maybe a month before he passed. probably from swallowing all that snuff

I have had the unpleasant experience of dealing with several nursing homes in and around the Albany area. I have found that Palmyra Nursing Home is the worst! I am convinced that the lack of care that this facility exhibited is the reason for my loved one's downfall. They are not professional, not trained well, and worst of all I have NEVER encountered anyone at this facility who acts like they care about the residents or their families. I would not recommend Palmyra Nursing Home to anyone! After we removed my loved one from this place I heard someone say that you should not put someone into Palmyra Nursing Home unless you want them to die, I certainly believe and agree with that statement now. Do not go there and pray for the people who are already there!
