    Kind staff, rehab, safety concerns

    I have mixed feelings. The staff - nurses, CNAs and therapists (Rosie, Blair, Dominique, Maribel and others) - were often kind, professional and attentive, the rehab was excellent, the place was clean and check-in was easy. However the facility is dated, rooms are small with little privacy, hallways noisy and crowded, and I witnessed serious lapses (missed meds, lost belongings, denied fluids/high-salt feeding leading to dehydration and ICU care that's under investigation), plus frequent call-light delays and inconsistent supervision. I'd only recommend or return if leadership addresses safety, staffing consistency and privacy.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but strongly polarized: a substantial portion of reviewers praise the staff, therapy services, cleanliness, and successful short-term rehabilitations, while a number of reviews raise serious and sometimes alarming concerns about care quality, responsiveness, and facility management. Positive reviewers repeatedly highlight compassionate, attentive nurses and CNAs, an effective physical therapy team, coordinated social services, and several named employees (Rosie, Blair, Elizabeth, David, Dominique, Maribel, Lisbeth, Nelly) who are credited with professionalism, advocacy, and excellent discharge coordination. Many families report that residents are comfortable, well-groomed, and engaged in activities, and that the facility is clean with a welcoming atmosphere for local families. Several accounts describe clear strengths in admissions and administrative procedures, efficient check-ins, regular activities, good meals, and rehabilitation outcomes that returned patients to their previous functional levels.

    Care quality and clinical services show a clear pattern of strong performance in rehabilitation and individualized attention for many patients. The physical therapy department receives frequent commendations for strengthening and recovery-focused care. Social services and case coordination are similarly praised for responsiveness and helping families navigate discharge. Infection control and visitor screening are noted positively by some reviewers, and several families describe the nursing staff as attentive and professional, citing specific nurses and supervisors who communicate well and treat residents with dignity.

    However, there is a contrasting set of reviews reporting serious problems. A subset of reviewers allege neglect, inadequate nursing oversight, and even potentially severe medical mismanagement — including reports of dehydration, denied fluids, high sodium levels, delirium, ICU transfers, and a health department investigation. Those accounts must be considered high-severity concerns and are distinct from routine operational complaints; they indicate that at least some families experienced critical lapses in clinical care. Beyond those serious allegations, more common operational issues include long call-light response times, inconsistent pain-management follow-up, missed medications, lost personal items (clothing, dentures), and laundry-area complaints. Several reviewers also describe rude or unprofessional staff behavior and assert that staff sometimes fail to check on patients routinely.

    Facility and environment comments are likewise mixed. Many reviewers say the building is clean and organized, appropriate for local families, and functions well for short-term rehab stays. At the same time, multiple reviewers describe the facility as older and in need of updates, with small rooms, limited privacy, noisy hallways, and parking shortages. Policies and processes such as COVID-era screening, visitor scrutiny, and pet/dog rules are noted both positively and negatively: some appreciate strict infection control while others find procedures intrusive. There are also recurring themes about inconsistent supervision and allegations of cover-ups, which, combined with the critical clinical reports, suggest variability in management oversight and quality control.

    In summary, the dominant positive themes are: a compassionate frontline staff and effective rehab services that produce good outcomes for many short-term residents; strong social services and discharge planning; clean common areas; and several standout employees who receive repeated praise. The dominant negative themes are more concerning: serious allegations of neglect and clinical mismanagement in some cases, inconsistent responsiveness to call lights and pain management, lost personal belongings, laundry problems, and the need for facility updates and better privacy. The reviews indicate a facility that can and does deliver excellent, compassionate care for many patients but also exhibits variability that has led to alarming experiences for a smaller number of families. Those discrepancies point to a need for management to investigate the severe allegations, reinforce clinical oversight and staffing responsiveness (especially call-light response and medication administration), improve personal property and laundry procedures, and address building maintenance and privacy concerns to reduce the polarization of experiences.
