    Excellent rehab; unsafe long term

    I placed my mom here for rehab and the day staff, nurses and PT (Mrs. Linda) were amazing - clean, comfortable facility, friendly people and successful short-term therapy. However the long-term/memory care side deteriorated: chronic understaffing (especially evenings/nights), long waits, few activities, dim lonely wards and restricted outdoor access. I experienced neglect - delayed help, wet/soiled linens and diapers, rough handling, two falls with fractures, infections/bedsores, privacy and admin failures, and unresolved reports of theft and inappropriate touching. In short: excellent for short-term rehab; unacceptable and unsafe for long-term or dementia care - I would avoid leaving a loved one here.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is highly mixed and polarized: multiple families report exceptional and compassionate care from specific staff, especially during daytime and in the short-term/rehabilitation wing, while an alarming number report neglect, safety incidents, and serious administrative failures—often concentrated in evenings, nights, or the long-term care wing.

    Care quality and staffing: Many reviewers praise individual caregivers, nurses, CNAs, and therapists (specific praise for physical and occupational therapy, and for named staff like a praised PT). These positive reports frequently describe respectful treatment, good communication, successful rehab outcomes, and family reassurance. Conversely, a recurrent and significant theme is inconsistency in care. Day shifts and short-term/rehab wings are described as attentive and effective, while evening/night shifts and some long-term wings are described as understaffed, slow to respond, and neglectful. Reports cite delayed help, long waits for assistance, delayed diaper changes, residents left in bed or wheelchairs for extended periods, and overall deterioration of condition when placed in long-term care.

    Clinical safety and adverse events: Several reviews allege serious clinical problems. Multiple instances of falls resulting in fractures, broken ankles/fibulae, worsening conditions, bedsores/pressure ulcers, poor wound care, and infections (including staph) were reported. There are also allegations of more extreme outcomes including amputations and deaths attributed by families to facility care. Other clinical concerns include alleged overuse of psychotropic medication, inappropriate handling of frail residents, and poor post-surgical discharge coordination. These reports suggest lapses in monitoring, care planning, and incident response for higher-risk residents.

    Abuse, theft, privacy and hygiene: Reviews include troubling allegations beyond standard care issues—emotional abuse, inappropriate touching by aides, privacy violations (including breaches of personal information), and thefts of residents' belongings. Hygiene and basic care concerns are also raised: soiled linens left in rooms, infrequent showers (reports of showering once a week), strong odors, and diapers left in rooms. Some families expressed that investigations into thefts or abuse were unresolved, and that administration failed to hold staff accountable.

    Management, communication, and accountability: Administrative problems recur across reviews. Families describe delayed or inadequate notification about incidents, leadership that downplays or dismisses injuries, and calls for stronger oversight (several reviewers explicitly suggested auditing video or external investigation). Some reviewers accused the director of nurses and administration of being manipulative or dishonest about finances and care. At the same time, some families complimented office staff as informative and helpful, demonstrating variability even within administrative roles.

    Environment, activities and dining: The physical environment receives mixed comments. Some reviewers find parts of the facility clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and report residents enjoying the food and activities. Others describe dim, lonely wards with restricted outdoor access, poor meal quality or very small portions, and few activities—particularly a lack of appropriate programming for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Memory care is singled out positively by some, but activity deficits for dementia residents are a recurring complaint.

    Notable patterns and recommendations implied by reviewers: A clear pattern emerges of uneven care—excellent performance in specific units, shifts, and among certain staff, contrasted with serious problems elsewhere. The most frequent and severe concerns involve understaffing, neglect during nights/long-term stays, missed or delayed clinical care leading to falls, wounds, or infections, and administrative failures to investigate or remediate issues. Multiple reviewers urge external review, greater accountability, auditing (including video review), and, in some cases, closure of the facility. Simultaneously, there are many heartfelt endorsements from families whose relatives experienced successful rehabilitation, attentive care, and respectful treatment.

    Conclusion: The reviews indicate a facility with real strengths—dedicated caregivers and effective rehab teams can and do achieve positive outcomes—but also systemic weaknesses that have led to serious adverse events and family distress in other parts of the facility. Any family considering this facility should weigh the variability in experiences, ask specific questions about staffing levels by shift and unit, request documentation about incident reporting and investigations, and closely monitor loved ones especially during transitions to long-term care. For facility management, the reviews collectively point to a need for targeted quality improvement: strengthen night/evening staffing and supervision, improve wound care and fall-prevention practices, enhance dementia-appropriate programming, enforce stronger privacy/theft safeguards, and increase transparency and responsiveness to families' concerns.
