    Caring staff, clean facility, cautious

    I had a mixed but overall positive experience. I found the building beautiful, spotless, and ideal for rehab/long-term care - staff across roles (nurses, PT/OT, aides, drivers, admin, custodians) were caring, attentive, coordinated with hospitals and hospice, and helped my loved one make real progress. That said, meals and evening/front-desk phone service were poor, a few staff were rude, and I witnessed occasional clinical/communication lapses (missed checks, medication/notification issues), so I recommend the facility but advise staying vigilant about meals, evening coverage, and family communication.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with numerous reviewers emphasizing Creekside Health and Rehabilitation Center as a top-tier rehabilitation facility. The facility receives consistent praise for its rehabilitation outcomes, with families reporting noticeable strides in mobility and recovery. Multiple reviewers singled out the clinical therapy teams (PT, OT, RT) and training on equipment such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as strengths that helped build family confidence in care. The center is also viewed as well suited for both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term/hospice care, with good coordination with local hospitals and outside hospice agencies.

    Staffing is repeatedly highlighted as the facility�s major asset. Reviews frequently describe employees across a broad range of roles — nurses, aides, custodians, drivers, administrative personnel, and front-desk staff — as caring, attentive, and going above and beyond. Many accounts describe staff who treat residents like family, patiently manage difficult moods or special requests, and keep families informed. Administration and some front-line staff are specifically praised for being helpful and communicative. Pain management and attentive personal care also appear commonly in positive comments.

    The physical environment and amenities receive strong positive comments. Multiple reviewers note that the building is beautiful, well maintained, and clean with no unpleasant odors. Rooms are described as spacious and private, dining areas have a good atmosphere, and there is ample parking. Several reviewers specifically recommended the hospice unit and noted 24/7 family access during end-of-life care as an important comfort. Overall, facility upkeep and atmosphere contribute to the impression of a quality care setting.

    However, a consistent pattern of important concerns emerges that tempers the otherwise positive picture. Several reviews describe variability in staff performance depending on shift, with particular complaints about evening or night staff being rude or providing substandard care. Front-desk phone responsiveness and attitude were called out more than once, including inability to connect to patient rooms. These interpersonal and operational issues suggest inconsistencies in training, supervision, or staffing levels during certain shifts.

    More serious clinical and communication issues were reported by some families. There are claims of lapses in routine clinical monitoring (for example, catheter and pressure sore checks), instances where families were not notified about significant events such as pneumonia or sepsis, and at least one report implying delayed notification after a health decline. Medication-handling concerns were also mentioned. These reports point to potential gaps in clinical oversight or documentation that warrant attention, especially given the vulnerability of the resident population.

    Other practical concerns include variable meal quality reported by some residents, occasional maintenance issues (a malfunctioning door, difficulty connecting to rooms), and the limiting effects of pain on participation in walking therapy for certain patients. COVID-19 visitation restrictions were noted, though this appears to be situational rather than a reflection on ongoing operations.

    In summary, Creekside Health and Rehabilitation Center is frequently praised for its rehabilitation expertise, compassionate staff (in many roles), clean and attractive facility, and strong hospice/coordination capabilities. These strengths lead many reviewers to highly recommend the center. At the same time, reviewers identify meaningful and recurring weaknesses: inconsistent staff performance across shifts, communication failures with families about critical clinical events, occasional lapses in routine clinical monitoring, and some operational/maintenance shortcomings. Prospective families should weigh the facility�s strong rehabilitation and compassionate care reputation against these reported inconsistencies; asking facility leadership about evening staffing, clinical oversight procedures (wound/catheter checks, medication management), and communication protocols may help address the concerns raised in the reviews.

    About Creekside Health and Rehabilitation Center

    Creekside Health and Rehabilitation Center offers a wide range of care for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so people with different needs can find support, and you might also see services like home health care, non-medical home care, and adult day programs which is helpful for some families, plus the center takes Medicare, Medicaid, and long-term care insurance, so paying for care is a little easier for some folks who need it. The private rooms run about $6,000 to $10,000 a month and semi-private rooms cost between $5,000 and $7,000, and you don't have to worry about a buy-in fee since it's a rental community, so you avoid a big, long-term financial deal up front. There's air conditioning throughout, parking for guests and residents, and restrooms are easy to find, as well as wheelchair accessibility built in, and safety features like sprinklers, handicap-accessible designs, and washers and dryers for residents are available, which can make day-to-day life much easier. People using Creekside will see services like housekeeping, kitchens or kitchenettes in their rooms, cable TV, regular maintenance, and a salon and barbershop onsite, so daily personal needs are taken care of, too, and if you like having games, social activities, fitness center, or programs for health and learning, you'll find those along with crafts, Wi-Fi, guest parking, and a dining room. When it comes to personal care, there's help with dressing, grooming, bathing, and toileting, and personal care assistants are there for walking and wheelchair assistance, plus laundry and dry cleaning is also available, so you're not left worrying about small, daily tasks. You also have regular meals provided, and people get medical care such as wound care, medication support, nurses, occupational therapy, and podiatry, with extra services for things like amputee rehabilitation, so folks with high care needs have support, and those wanting short-term rehab after a hospital stay or long-term skilled nursing can find the right fit. There's transportation service for those who need to get to appointments or activities around town, and people have choices for staying private or sharing a room depending on the budget and preference. The place offers hospice care for those in need, and there's around-the-clock nursing support-which means someone is always there if help is needed, and they say they focus on restoring health and keeping life active and comfortable. Creekside's CMS rating is slightly below average, staffing is average, quality measures are above average, but health inspections are a little below average, so while it's not perfect, many people find the range of services and care options fit what they're looking for, and the atmosphere tries to be supportive and comfortable for everyone; plus, with four pictures of the facility available, people can get a look at what life is like before they decide.
