What this means for your family

While Allaire Rehab has a strong reputation for its therapy programs and festive activities, the facility faces recurring, serious allegations regarding neglect and slow response times. We strongly recommend that families visit in person to observe staff-to-patient interactions during off-peak hours and ask specific questions about how they handle call-bell response times and hygiene assistance.

Allaire Rehab & Nursing receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility's recent renovations, active recreation department, and specific staff members like Steven Shalitzky and Marlaina Kimbiz. However, a significant number of reviewers report severe concerns regarding neglect, including long wait times for call bells, poor hygiene, and inadequate staffing levels.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom fell in May. She laid on the floor for 17 hours. She had compression fractures in her spine and a broken elbow.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

The recreation department goes above and beyond to ensure the patients get to enjoy the holidays. Marcy provides a celebration for each holiday, ensuring the patients have an opportunity to be social and have some fun.

Family member · 2024★★★★★

I have to wait so long for anyone to come to my aid most times is a minimum 25-30 min like right now I'm waiting a minimum 45 mins this place has too many patients for how short staffed they are
