62 reviews on Google“Burlington House Rehab & Alzheimer's Care Center presents a stark divide in experiences, with some families praising the facility as a 'crown jewel' for dementia care, while others report severe neglect and safety concerns. Positive reviews frequently highlight specific staff members and successful rehabilitation outcomes, whereas negative reviews consistently cite issues with hygiene, communication, and resident safety. Families should be aware that experiences appear highly inconsistent, with significant reports of poor oversight and neglect in recent years.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The reason I am giving this place a 3 is because of the fact my husband was covered with food 2 hours after eating lunch. He had a scratch from his ear down to his cheek. They didn't treat it or attempted to clean it.”
“My brother was at Burlington House for about six weeks. He fell often and broke his hip. He always had bruises and scabs everywhere. The final fall killed him.I did not receive one condolence call after he died.”
“My aunt never has on any of her skin care such as lotion. Which is why her skin is cracking and creating skin tears and such. They don't call to report her falls.”
