    Caring staff, good rehab; cautious

    I'm overall pleased - the staff are caring and welcoming, the facility is very clean and odor-free, administration and DON are involved, and rehab helped my mobility after a stroke (Ryan the PT is amazing). Nurses, CNAs and social workers were often attentive and friendly, activities and visitor check-in were good, and COVID precautions taken seriously. That said, the place can be understaffed/busy, phone responsiveness is poor with long hold times, communication is inconsistent, and there are isolated but serious reports of neglect/theft - so stay vigilant. I'd recommend it cautiously: great care at times, but confirm staffing, phone coverage and safety before committing.

    Summary review

    The reviews for Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center show a highly polarized picture: many reviewers report compassionate, skilled staff and effective rehabilitation services, while a substantial number of other reviews allege serious quality and safety problems. Positive accounts emphasize attentive CNAs and nurses, strong therapy programs (physical, occupational, speech), good wound and IV care in some cases, clean and comfortable spaces, and an active activities program that promotes quality of life. Several reviews specifically praise admission staff, certain clinicians and therapists, and responsive case management. There are multiple reports that the facility can deliver successful recovery-focused care, returning residents to higher levels of independence after strokes or surgeries.

    Conversely, an extensive and concerning set of negative themes recurs across many reviews. The single largest area of complaint is staffing and responsiveness: reviewers frequently describe understaffing, slow or ignored nurse call responses, and long phone hold times or unanswered calls at reception. Numerous accounts allege neglectful care, including patients being left in urine or feces for extended periods, inadequate bathing, and the development or worsening of pressure ulcers/bedsores. Medication errors and incorrect dosages are mentioned repeatedly. These safety and care failures are accompanied by reports of poor communication—family members unable to reach staff, doctors rarely meeting with families, and social workers not consistently proactive.

    Facility and environment issues are reported on both ends of the spectrum. Many reviewers describe the center as clean, sanitary, odor-free, and home-like, with pleasant rooms and an attractive building. Others describe the facility as run-down, overcrowded (including reports of three people in a room), with inaccessible bathrooms for handicapped residents, broken patio equipment, HVAC/power outages, and noisy units with frequent nighttime disturbances. Dining experiences are similarly mixed: some reviewers praise the food and meal accommodations, while many complain about poor-quality, cold, or unhealthy meals. Activities programming is often praised—movie nights, arts and crafts, faith services, and energetic activities staff—but that positive is inconsistent across reviews.

    Management and organizational themes are mixed as well. A subset of reviews notes recent leadership improvements and strong administration involvement, while a comparable set of reviews accuses management of being disorganized, dismissive, or even bullying. There are alarming allegations about the facility being profit-driven to the detriment of patient care, reports of theft of personal items, and extremely serious accusations including neglect leading to severe bedsores and death in a few reports. Some reviewers also raise concerns about the facility's handling of COVID—both precautions taken seriously and, in other cases, outbreaks and misrepresentation about infection spread.

    A consistent pattern is variability: some families report top-notch care, compassionate staff, effective rehabilitation, and clean facilities, while others report experiences that they describe as the worst nursing home they have encountered. This wide variance suggests inconsistent staffing levels, training, or oversight across shifts and units. Several reviews single out individual staff for excellence, indicating that the quality of care often depends on which caregivers are on duty. Administrative responsiveness also varies: while some praise case management and front-line reception, others describe long waits, hung-up calls, and difficulty arranging basic services like dental visits.

    In summary, Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center receives many strong endorsements for compassionate caregivers, solid rehabilitation services, and a welcoming environment from numerous families and residents. At the same time, a significant body of reviews reports serious lapses in basic nursing care, communication failures, medication errors, and concerning safety or cleanliness issues. The overall picture is one of high inconsistency: families may encounter excellent, recovery-focused care or, alternately, severe neglect and systemic problems. The prevalence of both glowing and alarming reports indicates the need for careful, current verification of staffing, oversight, and quality measures before making placement decisions. Observers should pay particular attention to staffing ratios and response times, wound-care and medication protocols, recent regulatory findings or management changes, and direct observation of mealtime, hygiene, and activity engagement during an in-person visit.
