    Unsafe, mismanaged care; avoid facility

    I stayed here and found the place unsafe and badly mismanaged. I saw medication errors and an overdose, bedsores ignored, broken glass and a push-pin in food; a patient fell and wasn't reported for hours, later suffering a hip injury. Staffing is grossly stretched, nurses and managers were often rude or unresponsive, packages opened, vendors unpaid, and billing aggressive with no real follow-up. A few therapists and nurses were excellent and helped my mobility, but overall I would not trust them with advanced dementia or frail elders - avoid unless you have no other option.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is highly mixed but leans toward serious concern for safety, management, and consistency of care, contrasted with repeated praise for the facility’s physical therapy and certain compassionate frontline staff. Many reviewers report outstanding, effective rehabilitation services and specific staff members who provided excellent, dignified, and attentive care. Those positive experiences often highlight a caring PT team, nurses and CNAs who were professional and encouraging, administrative outreach from some leaders (notably one director called out positively), flexible visitation, and rapid mobility improvements during short stays.

    However, the most frequent and serious themes are consistent reports of understaffing, lapses in basic nursing care, and safety failures. Multiple reviewers described instances of neglected grooming and hygiene, missed or delayed medication administration, unresponsiveness to call lights, absence of bed alarms, and residents falling and suffering significant injuries (including hip fractures) that led to hospital transfers. There are several alarming clinical failure reports — dehydration, sepsis, untreated or ignored pressure injuries progressing to severe infections, and at least one report of Fournier’s gangrene — which together suggest inconsistent clinical monitoring, assessment, and wound care for high-acuity patients.

    Staff behavior and professionalism are described as inconsistent. While many staff members are praised as compassionate and hardworking, other reviews describe hostile, rude, or unprofessional attitudes from specific employees and managers (names mentioned). Language barriers, abrupt or dismissive interactions, and alleged dishonesty in communication with families and hospitals were reported. Some reviewers said staff begged residents for assistance, indicating chronically stretched personnel. The inconsistent tenor of staff behavior creates a polarized picture: for some families the staff were angels; for others the staff were unkind and negligent.

    Facility condition and maintenance are additional recurrent concerns. Multiple comments describe an outdated environment, ongoing but poorly executed renovations, peeling wallpaper, discolored paint, odors in the dining room, carpets needing replacement, curtains falling off hooks, and general unfinished or shoddy work. While a few reviewers note renovations that look good, many emphasize that work was incomplete or poorly done and that the facility appears underinvested. Housekeeping issues also surfaced: sticky laundry tags, soiled linens, and reports of dirt and broken glass in food.

    Activities, memory care, and social engagement are frequently criticized. Reviewers repeatedly note the absence of a dedicated memory/dementia unit, limited in-house activities, and residents sitting or sleeping in hallways. Visitors encountered residents in distress or with little meaningful programming. These comments, combined with statements that staff may not be qualified for advanced dementia care, suggest that the facility may be ill-equipped to meet the needs of people with cognitive impairment.

    Communication, billing, and management practices are major recurring topics. Families cite poor communication about incidents, lack of follow-up after discharge, and administrative silence. There are repeated allegations of billing irregularities and aggressive charges for short stays. Several reviews recommend reviewing official inspection records (for example Medicare health inspection violations). Additional management concerns include vendor nonpayment and perceived penny-pinching, which reviewers believe contribute to maintenance neglect and understaffing.

    Dining and daily living services receive several consistent complaints: meals perceived as poor quality, late dinners, very small portions, and general dissatisfaction with food service. Conversely, some residents and families reported satisfactory interactions during short-term stays where meals were not a primary focus or where clinical needs improved quickly.

    Patterns and risk assessment: The reviews form a clear pattern of variability — exceptional rehab and several standout caregivers on one hand, and serious safety/quality lapses and administrative failings on the other. The facility appears capable of providing excellent short-term physical therapy and certain compassionate nursing care, but there are repeated, credible reports of systemic problems that place higher-acuity, long-term, or dementia patients at elevated risk. The most concerning recurring issues are falls with delayed response, neglected wounds/infections, medication errors, and inconsistent emergency escalation.

    For families evaluating this facility, the reviews suggest careful, case-specific vetting: verify current staffing levels and recent inspection reports, confirm protocols for fall prevention/bed alarms and medication administration, ask about a memory care program, inspect recent renovation quality, and determine billing practices and discharge follow-up. The dual nature of the feedback — excellent therapy and caring individuals contrasted with management, safety, and maintenance failures — indicates that experiences can vary widely depending on unit, staff on duty, and the resident’s acuity and needs.
