    Compassionate staff; inconsistent night care

    I had a mixed but memorable stay. The PT/OT, wound-care team, nurses and CNAs were often exceptional - compassionate, professional, and recovery-focused; the facility was usually spotless, meals good, communication and discharge smooth, and the front desk warm and helpful. That said, I also encountered and heard alarming reports of inconsistent night staffing, slow or missed care, poor hygiene/unclean rooms and pressure wounds - even a family's account of a death tied to neglect - so vigilance is necessary. I'd recommend this place for rehab if you confirm staffing, wound care and cleanliness, but monitor care closely.

    Summary review

    Overall impression Glenview Terrace receives a large number of mixed but mostly positive reviews centered on its rehabilitation and therapy strengths, compassionate long-term staff, and generally clean, comfortable environment. The dominant positive themes are excellence in physical and occupational therapy, strong wound care expertise, attentive infection control, and a welcoming atmosphere created by many long-tenured, caring employees. Multiple reviewers singled out individual staff and leaders by name for exceptional care and communication, and many families reported meaningful recovery outcomes and safe discharges home. At the same time, there are recurring and serious criticisms about inconsistent nursing care, medication and supervision errors, and occasional reports of neglect. These negative reports range from delays and lack of responsiveness to very serious allegations of harm. The aggregate picture is of a facility that can deliver outstanding rehab and therapy but has variable performance in nursing and overnight coverage, and some isolated but severe failures in care and communication.

    Care quality and clinical services Therapy services are the clearest strength. Reviewers repeatedly describe top-notch PT and OT, frequent therapy sessions (including weekend therapy and twice-daily PT in some cases), individualized programs, walker/stair training, and measurable progress toward returning home. The wound care team also receives high praise for competence and outcomes. Full-time CNAs and a culture of frequent therapy evaluations are often mentioned as contributors to recovery success. Conversely, nursing care is the area with the greatest variability. Many reports describe attentive, compassionate nurses and CNAs, while others report long response times to call lights, delayed or missed medications, incompetence in medication/procedure administration, hygiene lapses, and in some reports bedsores or neglect. Several reviewers described specific incidents of mistakes or inadequate supervision that required family intervention or hospital re-visits. Staffing patterns appear to influence clinical reliability: shifts and floors reported as well-staffed and supervised generally deliver excellent care, while agency- heavy or understaffed shifts are where problems cluster.

    Staff behavior, culture, and leadership A majority of reviews praise the staff culture: friendly front desk workers, empathetic CNAs, committed therapists, and proactive managers. Names such as Melissa, Rachel, Alpa, Dale and others are frequently listed as examples of strong leadership and coordination. Reviewers also highlight a workplace culture that values improvement and learning, which reviewers interpret as a sign of operational maturity. However, numerous reviews call out 'bad apples', staff arguing, defensive or unprofessional responses to family concerns, and in a few cases allegations of racist behavior and intentional cover-up of mistakes. Agency staff are repeatedly described as less engaged and sometimes not as compassionate as regular staff. These patterns suggest solid leadership and staff cohesion overall, but inconsistent enforcement of standards and training across all personnel and shifts.

    Facility, rooms, and amenities Physical plant and amenities receive largely favorable comments: the facility is frequently described as exceptionally clean, with comfortable private rooms, private washrooms, a gym/rehab area, outdoor common areas, and pet-friendly visitation. Many reviewers appreciated the homelike atmosphere, accessible layout, and proactive infection control measures. Criticisms of the physical environment are more specific: some rooms are called narrow or small and lacking outlets, occasional bathrooms or areas described as filthy by a minority of reviewers, temperature control problems in rooms, and repeated complaints about room moves or items being misplaced. Overall the facility appears well-maintained most of the time, though reviewers emphasize that cleanliness and upkeep can vary by floor and shift.

    Dining and activities Dining reviews are mixed. Several reviewers praised an exceptional chef, healthy and tasty meals, and staff flexibility to accommodate special diets. Others reported reduced menu options, holiday dining disappointments, overcooked food, and limited variety. Activity programming is described positively when it is creative and engaging, contributing to social interaction and mental stimulation; however, many reviewers requested more evening activities, craft options, and better alignment of activities to resident interests. The summary pattern is that the facility offers meaningful activities and dining options, but quality and variety can fluctuate.

    Operations, communications, and safety Positive operational notes include attentive infection control, immunization practices, and responsive admission and billing experiences reported by several families. Negative operational themes are clear and important: inconsistent communication with families, unresponsive phone lines or nursing stations, billing disputes (including a transportation charge controversy), delays obtaining supplies, and weak supervision that allows errors to occur. Reports of delayed meds, wrong procedures, and even alleged criminal negligence appear infrequently but are severe and recurring enough to be notable. Multiple reviewers also reported that experience can differ substantially between first and subsequent stays, or between floors and shifts, suggesting systemic variability rather than isolated anecdotes.

    Patterns, risk areas, and recommendations for prospective families Key strengths to expect: excellent PT/OT and wound care, many compassionate long-term staff, clean common areas, and good infection control. These strengths make Glenview Terrace a strong contender for focused post-hospital rehabilitation and wound management. Key risk areas: nursing responsiveness (especially overnight), use of agency staff, medication and supervision errors, and occasional administrative/communication breakdowns. There are also isolated but serious negative accounts alleging neglect and harm.

    If considering Glenview Terrace, prospective residents and families should: ask specifically about nurse-to-patient ratios and frequency of agency staff on the unit they will occupy; meet the therapy and wound care leads; clarify medication administration and incident reporting procedures; tour rooms to check size, outlets, and temperature control; ask about overnight staffing and response time averages; discuss visiting policies and how families are updated; and seek references for the specific floor or shift they will use. Families should be prepared to advocate actively and verify that supervisory staff are accessible and responsive. Overall, Glenview Terrace demonstrates many strengths that support recovery and healing, but the variable nursing reliability and some serious adverse reports mean due diligence and ongoing family engagement are essential.
