    Caring staff, serious safety concerns

    I had a mixed experience. The staff were overwhelmingly kind, compassionate, and attentive, the halls were clear, floors shiny, wait times short, and the atmosphere felt warm-patients seemed happy. However, I'm very concerned about care and safety: food quality was poor (few fresh salads/fruits, sugary desserts, unhealthy sodas), incontinence was sometimes neglected, and I heard alarming allegations of abusive practices and attempts to suppress regulator contact. The building and grounds need renovation and better landscaping. Recommend for the caring staff but proceed with caution.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but polarized: many reviewers praise the staff, cleanliness of interior spaces, and a generally positive atmosphere, while a smaller but extremely serious subset of reviews allege severe abuse, neglect, and management malpractice. The positive comments repeatedly highlight kind, compassionate and attentive employees, good teamwork, short wait times, and visible efforts to maintain clean hallways and shiny floors. Several reviewers describe the facility as a nice, home-like environment and note that patients are happy and experiences there can be “all around good.” Leadership (referenced as "BOM") is specifically praised in some summaries, suggesting pockets of strong operational management and effective team coordination.

    However, there are multiple, highly concerning allegations that cannot be overlooked. Some reviews accuse the facility of elder abuse, including claims of strip searches, lying about treatments, gaslighting of family members, and neglect related to incontinence care (urine/feces). Review summaries also allege attempts to suppress contact with regulators and describe significant family distress and heartache. These complaints point to potential systemic issues around resident dignity, clinical honesty, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Even if these allegations come from a subset of reviewers, their severity means they are disproportionate in importance compared with routine service criticisms.

    Care quality thus appears to be a dual narrative in the reviews: many describe compassionate, friendly caregiving and responsive staff, while others claim serious breaches of basic care and respect. The frequent praise of individual staff—described as kind, caring, and attentive—suggests that direct caregivers often provide good interpersonal care. At the same time, the allegations of neglect (particularly around incontinence) and deceptive practices indicate possible failures in clinical oversight, protocols, or culture at higher levels of the facility. This contrast suggests variability in experience that may depend on shifts, specific units, or personnel.

    Facility and grounds feedback is similarly mixed. Inside the building, reviewers commonly report tidy corridors and clean floors, which supports a perception of basic environmental cleanliness. Conversely, exterior maintenance and aesthetics receive criticism: reviewers mention neglected flower beds, weeds on the grounds, and broken statues. Several reviewers also note that portions of the facility need renovation, indicating that building condition and curb appeal may lag behind housekeeping standards.

    Dining and nutrition emerge as a recurring, more moderate concern. Several reviews request more fresh salads and fruit, criticize the presence of sodas as unhealthy beverage options, and call out desserts for being overly high in sugar. These comments indicate dissatisfaction with menu variety and nutritional balance rather than outright neglect; they point to opportunities to improve dietary offerings to better meet health and taste expectations for residents.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a complex picture: a facility with many committed, friendly staff members and some clean, well-kept interior spaces, but also with alleged serious breaches of resident safety, dignity, and transparency reported by some family members. The most urgent themes are the abuse and neglect allegations and the claims about suppressing regulator contact—issues that go beyond service quality and implicate resident rights and regulatory compliance. Secondary themes include inconsistent facility upkeep (interior cleanliness vs. exterior neglect), a need for renovation in parts of the building, and nutritional/menu improvements. The pattern suggests variability in resident experiences and highlights the importance for prospective families or oversight bodies to probe both the commendations about staff compassion and the grave allegations of mistreatment when evaluating the center.

    About Curis Harrisonburg Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Center

    Curis Harrisonburg Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Center sits at 94 South Ave, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, and serves people who need skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, or short-term rehabilitation after illness, injury, or surgery, and the staff there really focuses on helping folks get strong enough to return home or live more independently whenever possible, and they have nurses there for 12 to 16 hours a day, with a 24-hour call system in place for emergencies or help at any time, plus they help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, or getting around, and organize medication and meals, and really pay attention to setting up what each person needs with custom care plans. They've got all sorts of therapy-physical, occupational, speech-and offer pain management, case management, wound care right on-site, even more advanced stuff like hemodialysis and respiratory support for those who need it. There's specialized programs like the Accordius Advantage, which tries to get folks home faster with stronger recovery, plus things like neuro and orthopedic rehab, palliative care, psychological support, vision and podiatry services, tube feeding, and plenty more for tough medical situations, and they also offer respite care for people whose regular caregivers need a break, so families can take a breather and know their loved one's safe and cared for. The building's got both private and semi-private rooms, many with their own bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, air conditioning, phone, and comes already furnished, and around the common areas you'll find a beauty salon, library, a fitness room and rehab gym, arts and crafts, a movie theater, and dedicated space for music, games, and sitting outside when the weather's good, and for folks that want to join group activities, there's scheduled movies, fitness, art, music, games, and all kinds of resident-run or community-sponsored events and even day trips. Folks get all-day meals, with restaurant-style dining that'll work with allergies, diabetes, or whatever special diet a doctor orders, and a chef is there to make sure everyone's fed good, and housekeeping comes by for laundry, cleaning, or linen changes, along with a concierge to help with any issues and people to coordinate moving in, so you're not left to do all that by yourself. Gardens, patios, walking paths, and outdoor spaces make it possible to get outside and enjoy some quiet or a walk if you're up for it, and the place takes Medicaid and Medicare if you've got it, which can help a lot, and because Curis Harrisonburg is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, folks who need more or less care don't have to leave and can move to a different level within the same place. They offer both short stays for folks recovering from the hospital and long-term care for those who need ongoing help, and there are family and resident councils set up to let everyone have a voice, fix problems, and make life better for all. The center's built to feel a little less like a big institution and a little more like a home, and they're pretty steady about getting people through the hard patches, making sure everyone gets seen, whether it's a simple need for a shower or something much more serious, and always being readied for what's next on folks' care journeys.
