    Dirty facility, uncaring staff, rude

    I visited my loved one and found the facility dirty with a generally disgusting environment. Staff were uncaring, inattentive and often oblivious, the Director of Nursing was rude, and communication with family was poor. A few caregivers were professional and kind, but overall I would not send a loved one here.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed and highly polarized, with distinct reports of both positive rehabilitation-focused care and serious negative concerns about staff behavior and facility cleanliness. Several reviewers expressed gratitude and described staff as professional, kind, attentive to particular concerns, and focused on recovery—indicating that some patients received effective, compassionate care. At the same time, an equal or larger set of comments highlights troubling issues including inattentive or oblivious staff, an uncaring tone, poor family communication, and an explicitly rude director of nursing. The divergence suggests inconsistency in resident experience, with outcomes ranging from appreciative and recovery-oriented to dissatisfied and distressed.

    Care quality and outcomes: The most commonly cited positive was recovery-focused care and expressions of gratitude from families who felt their loved ones made progress. Those reviews point to successful rehabilitation efforts and staff who can be responsive to clinical concerns. Conversely, negative comments about inattentive or uncaring staff imply lapses in basic caregiving tasks and responsiveness. The coexistence of these opposing reports suggests variability in the day-to-day delivery of care—some residents appear to receive attentive, professional treatment while others experience neglect or insufficient attention.

    Staff behavior and interpersonal interactions: Staffing is the clearest area of contradiction. Positive summaries emphasize kindness and professionalism, while negative summaries repeatedly use terms such as inattentive, oblivious, and uncaring. Of particular concern is the specific allegation that the director of nursing was rude; complaints about leadership behavior can amplify family distrust and affect staff morale. Poor communication with families is another recurrent theme, implying that even when clinical care may be adequate, families feel insufficiently informed or engaged. Taken together, these comments point to inconsistent staff performance and communication practices, and to at least one reported instance of problematic leadership conduct.

    Facilities and environment: Several reviewers used strong language describing the environment as dirty or disgusting. Cleanliness and sanitation concerns are significant because they directly affect resident safety, health outcomes (infection risk), and overall comfort. These reports stand in stark contrast with the positive recovery-focused comments and suggest that facility maintenance or housekeeping may be an area requiring attention. The intensity of the language used indicates these were notable experiences for reviewers rather than minor gripes.

    Dining, activities, and other services: The provided summaries do not contain specific references to dining quality, recreational activities, or therapy programming beyond general mentions of recovery-focused care. Because there is no direct feedback on meals or activities, no firm conclusions can be drawn about those services. The absence of comment could mean these areas are unremarkable to reviewers or that more salient issues (staffing, cleanliness, communication) overshadowed them in reviewers' minds.

    Management, patterns, and reputational implications: The combination of reports—professional and grateful on one hand, and dirty, inattentive, and poorly managed on the other—suggests inconsistency, possibly across shifts, units, or even individual staff members. The specific allegation about a rude director of nursing raises questions about leadership and institutional culture; leadership behavior can influence staff training, accountability, and communication with families. Recurrent themes of poor communication and unwillingness to recommend the facility indicate reputational risk and warrant attention from management.

    Conclusion and considerations for prospective families: The reviews paint a mixed picture—some families had positive, recovery-oriented experiences with kind and professional staff, while others reported serious problems with attentiveness, cleanliness, and leadership behavior. Because experiences appear to vary considerably, prospective residents and families should consider direct follow-up: tour the facility, observe staff-resident interactions, ask about housekeeping and infection control practices, request examples of recent family communication protocols, and check inspection reports or complaint histories. The patterns in these reviews point to strengths in clinical rehabilitation for some patients but also to operational and cultural weaknesses that could materially affect resident satisfaction and safety.

    About The Harborview Center For Nursing and Rehabilitation

    The Harborview Center For Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 1 Chief Justice Cushing Hwy in Cohasset, MA, and you'll find that it's a skilled nursing facility where people can get both short-term rehab and long-term care in a peaceful setting. You'll notice 80 beds here, all in a space made to help residents stay safe, with handrails and special features for people who use wheelchairs or walkers, and the rooms come with cable TV, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, which makes things more comfortable for folks staying a while. Every meal comes from a dining service that offers allergy-friendly and diabetic options, and residents can eat in a restaurant-style dining room. There are daily activities, both community-sponsored and resident-run, like arts and crafts, movie nights, library visits, music programs, and off-site outings, and the staff runs social events to help everyone feel connected.

    There's a team with Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants on hand for both 12- to 16-hour nursing care and a 24-hour call system, and the staff keeps an eye on safety round the clock. There's help with daily things like bathing, getting dressed, and remembering to take medicine, with personal laundry and housekeeping included. The center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and VA benefits, and the facility has a CMS certification as a skilled nursing provider, with care for people who've had strokes, who need wound care or pain management, or who just need some help getting strong again after a hospital stay. There are full departments just for occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy, and they'll set up individualized care plans to fit what each person needs, including counseling for residents and families. People who need hospice or respite care can get that as well, and there are support services for families and an organized group for residents to share their views.

    The property's clean and well-kept, with outside gardens and walking paths, a fitness room, a spa/wellness room, a beautician, a salon/barbershop, activity spaces, a movie theater, and a library. Staff work to help every resident hold onto as much independence as possible, and if someone needs help moving in or finding special community support, that service is available, too. While the center is focused mainly on nursing and rehab for people after illness or hospital stays, it's also got long-term care for those who need extra help for longer stretches, and the goal is always the safety, wellness, and dignity of each resident with a focus on recovery when possible. The Harborview Center isn't accepting new patients right now, but when it does, folks can expect a supportive environment for both residents and their families.
