    Kind staff, good rehab, concerns

    I'm a resident and the staff are kind and respectful-wonderful nurses helped my rehab and now I walk with a cane. The building has easy access, good parking, a nice outdoor area with birds, activities and church services that keep people engaged, and residents generally seem happy. However staffing is insufficient, owners feel money-driven, I worry about safety for residents with special needs and some individual bathrooms were left dirty after the sale; meals are edible but poorly prepared/served and staff are stretched thin.

    Summary review

    The reviews present a mixed but clear picture of Seton Manor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center. Positive comments consistently highlight the frontline staff — nurses and caregivers — as friendly, kind, and respectful. Multiple reviewers specifically praised nursing care and rehabilitation services, noting measurable improvements such as residents progressing in rehab and walking with a cane. Staff are described as generally attentive and helpful, and individual interactions with caregivers are a recurring strength in the feedback.

    Facility and environment impressions are also mixed. On the positive side, reviewers appreciate the outdoor space — a pleasant area with birds and a place to watch nature — and the convenience features such as easy building access, good parking, and a security sign-in process. Reviewers also noted that residents often appear happy and engaged, with active programming and church service involvement cited as evidence that the facility keeps residents involved in activities.

    However, several significant concerns recur across reviews and temper the positive impressions. The most frequent operational issue is insufficient staffing: reviewers indicate that staffing levels are inadequate, which contributes to safety concerns, especially for residents with special needs. Cleanliness problems are specifically highlighted with reports of dirty individual bathrooms, suggesting lapses in routine housekeeping and sanitation in some areas. Dining is another area of mixed feedback — while meals are described as "edible," reviewers criticize the preparation and serving quality, indicating inconsistent food standards.

    A noteworthy pattern in the comments is a perceived decline in overall quality following an ownership change. Several reviewers explicitly say the facility has gone "downhill after sale," characterizing new ownership as money-driven and implying that administrative priorities may favor financial considerations over resident care. This perception feeds into broader concerns about management and oversight: while frontline staff often receive praise, reviewers express a sense that administration may be lacking in commitment or effective leadership, contributing to issues like staffing shortages, cleanliness lapses, and inconsistent service.

    In sum, Seton Manor appears to have strong points in personal caregiving, nursing, and rehabilitation services, and provides an environment with positive amenities like outdoor space and activities. At the same time, systemic issues — particularly staffing shortfalls, cleanliness problems, inconsistent dining, and perceived decline after ownership change — raise caution. The reviews suggest a facility that can deliver good individual care through committed staff, but one where organizational and operational weaknesses may undermine consistent, reliable quality for all residents, particularly those with higher or specialized needs.

This facility provides a welcoming place for older adults who want options for both short-term or long-term care, making it easier for people needing different levels of support. There's a strong focus on promoting independence through daily activity, personalized care, and a community feeling, so residents often get a chance to choose how involved they want to be with activities or social groups. Seton Manor offers personal care, secured memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and a range of medical services, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation, wound care, and acute pain management, which means there are doctors, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, nurses, and therapists ready to help.

The staff provides respiratory health services and home-based care, and there is a clinic right on site where routine or acute medical needs get attention from many types of healthcare staff. Dietary needs get careful attention too, since the center offers nutritious meals made by a professional culinary team and tries to fit different preferences and diets. Rooms look peaceful and private, which can help with relaxation and better sleep, and Seton Manor's RestWell program pays extra attention to quality rest, which is important for older adults. Their RecoverWell program centers on helping people rebuild strength and independence after injury or illness.
