    Excellent therapy, but unsafe care

    I found the building modern and very clean, admission was smooth, and many therapists and CNAs were caring - PT/OT stood out and some leaders (Rhonda and others) were hands-on. However chronic understaffing (weekends/nights) produced long call-bell waits, missed/late or wrong meds, hygiene lapses, bruising/rough handling, lost/stolen clothes/valuables and poor complaint follow-through. Communication was inconsistent and management often unresponsive; rehab results were mixed. Overall: good therapy and some excellent staff, but serious safety and care-quality issues - I cannot recommend.

    Summary review

    These reviews present a strongly mixed and polarized picture of PruittHealth - Town Center. On one side, numerous families and patients describe a modern, clean, and well-appointed facility with outstanding rehab services: excellent PT/OT teams, engaged therapists, helpful equipment, robust activity programming, and several administrators and staff members (notably named leaders in some reviews) who are praised for hands-on leadership and good communication. Many positive accounts highlight a welcoming environment, smooth admissions and discharges, attentive nursing on some shifts, good meals and dining spaces, and an atmosphere that felt home-like and friendly.

    Conversely, an alarming number of reviews describe serious care quality and safety problems. Recurring and severe allegations include neglect (residents left in soiled clothing, urine-soaked bedding, dried feces on bedding or hands), long unanswered call bells, medication delays and errors, missed or delayed medical interventions (antibiotics, pain meds), and failure to call EMS or arrange essential post-discharge supports such as home oxygen or outpatient therapy. Multiple reports of falls, bruising from rough handling, pressure sores, infections, and even deaths and subsequent claims illustrate significant risk events attributed by families to lapses in care. These incidents are often linked by reviewers to chronic understaffing, particularly on night and weekend shifts, and to inconsistent staff competency or empathy.

    A second major theme is inconsistency: many reviewers note wide variability in experience depending on the shift, staff member, or unit. Weekday nursing and therapists are frequently described as excellent, while weekend or night staff are portrayed as undertrained, unresponsive, or inattentive. Some CNAs and nurses receive strong praise for compassion and skill, while others are accused of rudeness, distraction (phones), and poor bedside manners. This inconsistency extends to therapy quality — some patients report rapid improvement from the rehab program, while others say therapy was too limited, ineffective, or billed but not delivered. Administrative responsiveness also varies: some families cite proactive, engaged leaders who turned care around, while others report that complaints to administration or a “compassion line” produced no follow-up.

    Operational and logistical issues appear repeatedly. Theft or loss of valuables and clothing, laundry mishandling, cheap replacement items, room moves, inappropriate roommate pairings, and small shared room sizes are common complaints. Cleanliness is a dual theme: many praise the facility’s modern, sterile appearance and pleasant common areas, but others report specific hygiene failures — urine smell in corridors or rooms, smelly hallways, unclean beds, and bedpans or linens left unattended. Dining also elicits polarized feedback: some residents enjoyed good food and service, while others reported cold, poorly prepared meals, incorrect diets, and limited options.

    Communication problems are pervasive in negative reviews: poor coordination between nursing, therapy, physicians, and families; missing or inconsistent documentation of medications and last doses; failure to inform families about COVID cases or patient condition changes; and discharge planning gaps. Reviewers also allege financial concerns, including billing for services not provided (therapy charges), pressure on families to transition to long-term residency, and perceptions that staff priorities tilt toward money over patient welfare.

    Taken together, these reviews suggest PruittHealth - Town Center can deliver high-quality rehab and has strong staff and leadership in certain areas, but suffers from systemic inconsistency that has led to repeated safety and quality lapses for other patients. The dominant drivers in negative accounts are understaffing (especially off-hours), unreliable response to call bells, lapses in basic care and hygiene, documentation and medication errors, poor complaint resolution, and issues with theft and laundry. Families report that outcomes depend heavily on which staff and shift the resident encounters.

    For prospective residents and families: this body of reviews warrants cautious vetting. If rehab outcomes and therapy quality are priorities, Town Center has examples of excellent care and therapy teams. If safety, consistent nursing responsiveness, and reliable basic caregiving (continence care, medication timeliness, clean linens, theft prevention) are paramount, the pattern of complaints suggests careful in-person assessment, repeated questioning about staffing levels and weekend/night coverage, and clear written agreements for discharge planning and medication management. For the facility: reviewers indicate the most urgent needs are reliable staffing, consistent training and supervision across shifts, robust complaint investigation and follow-up, tighter control of personal items and laundry, clearer communication protocols, and stronger systems for medication administration and emergency response to reduce the high-concern incidents reported.

    About PruittHealth - Town Center

    PruittHealth - Town Center sits in Harrisburg, NC, and serves seniors needing skilled nursing and help with daily activities, and the place itself is pretty careful about making life work for lots of different people because you have independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult day care, and nursing and rehab all in one campus, and on top of that, there's home health care if someone needs it later on. The building holds 70 skilled nursing beds and the staff keep up with the latest training, so there's always nurses and a supervising doctor on site around the clock, and you'll notice aides helping with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and eating because that's part of regular life here. People can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy in the same facility, plus there's extra help for folks with dementia, which seems to be a real focus, so families who worry about their loved one's safety will like that there are emergency call systems in every unit. The facility keeps things pretty comfortable, with both furnished and unfurnished bedrooms, private bathrooms, cable or satellite TV, and air conditioning everywhere, plus pets are welcome, which a lot of people find helps it feel a bit more like home.

    You'll find spaces like a beauty/barber salon, dining room, lounge, library, game room, and even a courtyard for when people want social outings or just a bit of fresh air, and there's always parking and accessible restrooms on site for visitors or residents, which can make a big difference when families come over. Residents get help with laundry and housekeeping, and transportation is available if someone needs to get out for errands or appointments outside the community. The care team, led by Administrator Steven Underwood, puts a lot of work into making personalized plans so each resident gets what they actually need, and they focus on keeping family involved every step of the way, making sure everyone is informed and comfortable with how things go. There's support for recovery and long-term needs too, thanks to comprehensive rehabilitation, medication management, subacute care services, and even therapy or infusion services as needed, along with options like Home First, pharmacy, medical supply, and palliative or hospice care. The place tries to build a strong sense of belonging with staff always around to help people settle in and encourage residents to connect and find companionship in the community. PruittHealth - Town Center is fully Medicare and Medicaid certified, belongs to the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, and works to give peace of mind to both residents and their families through experienced care and a steady, friendly atmosphere.
