    Poor care, unresponsive staff, avoid

    I stayed 2½ weeks as a wheelchair user. The facility is very clean, the food looked appetizing, and some staff were caring and helped with 24-hour bathing and occasional activities like bingo. But my physical therapy was poor or not provided as promised, staff were sometimes unresponsive/absent, records showed refused treatments, and I was readmitted to the hospital with pneumonia risk after discharge. Reception was nice until paperwork. Of three places I tried, this is the one I'd warn others to avoid.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed, with clear strengths in the facility environment and certain aspects of care but also significant and recurring concerns about clinical consistency and responsiveness. Several reviewers praised the cleanliness of the building and the appearance of the dining options; food was described as appetizing. One reviewer specifically noted the facility compared favorably to two other options, indicating it may be relatively preferable in the local market for some families. There are also multiple first-hand positive accounts of staff who were caring and attentive, and at least one patient experienced very good, effective rehabilitation during a two-and-a-half-week stay. For some residents, physical therapy and short-term rehab services met expectations and helped with recovery. The presence of 24-hour care, help with bathing and other activities of daily living, and occasional activities like bingo were also cited as positive elements, and one reviewer remembered a pleasant interaction with the receptionist early in the process.

    However, the most prominent pattern across the reviews is inconsistency. Several accounts describe poor physical therapy or promised therapy that was not delivered, while other reviewers reported excellent rehabilitation — this indicates variable quality or reliability in the therapy program. Related documentation issues were noted: one review mentioned patient records reflecting refused treatment, which raises concerns about how refusals are recorded and whether required care is being administered or appropriately followed up. There are multiple reports of staff being unresponsive or absent at times, and at least one reviewer explicitly warned others to stay away from the facility. Another serious clinical concern raised was a pneumonia risk and a case where a patient had to be readmitted to the hospital soon after discharge. These items point toward potential safety and continuity-of-care problems, particularly for medically vulnerable patients.

    Staffing and management interaction appear uneven. While several reviews praise particular caregivers for being attentive and helpful (including assistance for wheelchair users and reliable bathing support), other reviewers described staff as "not the best" or unavailable when needed. Administrative interactions also varied: one reviewer said the receptionist was friendly until paperwork time, suggesting possible pressure or less-positive interactions related to admissions or billing. This mixed portrayal suggests variability in training, staffing levels, or management oversight — some shifts or teams may perform well while others fall short.

    In sum, prospective residents and families should weigh both the clear positives (clean environment, generally appealing food, availability of 24-hour care and ADL support, and examples of successful rehab stays) against the negatives (inconsistent therapy delivery, potential documentation issues, reports of unresponsive staff, and at least one serious post-discharge complication). For patients requiring reliable, medically complex care or consistent therapy, the reported variability and the incidents of readmission and infection risk are important red flags to investigate further. For those seeking a short-term rehab with comparatively good surroundings and who can verify specific therapy and staffing arrangements in advance, the facility has shown it can deliver good outcomes in some cases. Visitors should ask direct questions about therapy schedules, staffing ratios, recent infection control records, documentation practices, and handoff procedures at discharge to better assess whether the facility can meet the particular clinical needs of their loved one.
