What this means for your family
While some families have had positive experiences with the therapy and social work teams, the recent surge in reports regarding facility cleanliness and patient neglect is a significant concern. We strongly advise touring the facility in person and asking for a detailed plan on how they manage patient hygiene and pain medication, as these have been recurring points of failure for recent residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother has been urinating in cups because nobody can be bothered to help her get”
“The place is very run down and in desperate need of a makeover. Rooms needs painting, the furniture is old, beds are old. As far as the care my mother received it was not up to par.”
“My father was only at apple rehab for a few hours before he spiked a temperature with low oxygen and needed to be sent back to the hospital. He was put in deplorable conditions with urine soaked floors”
