What this means for your family

Gladeview has a strong reputation for rehabilitation and long-term care, with many families noting the staff's compassion. However, because of the serious allegations regarding hygiene and responsiveness, we strongly recommend visiting unannounced during off-peak hours to observe the cleanliness and staff attentiveness firsthand.

Gladeview Health Care Center receives strong praise from many families for its compassionate staff, clean environment, and effective rehabilitation services. However, there is a stark contrast in experiences, with some reviewers reporting severe issues regarding hygiene, infection control, and responsiveness to patient needs. Prospective families should weigh the positive long-term reports against the critical concerns regarding basic care standards.

Key Review Excerpts

I know my mom's been there 8 years. I'm there almost every day. They are caring loving professionals. I've never had any care giver there tell me no, they go above and beyond.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

Following bilateral knee replacement surgery, I "kneehabbed" at Gladeview for three weeks and am pleased to write that they provided consistently kind, respectful, and competent care.

Rehab patient · 2015★★★★★

Patients suffer greatly because of nurses who don't respond to their needs. They don't know how to treat them and they don't care at all. Infection control here is abysmal; they leave diapers soiled with feces and urine in the hallways and rooms.

14deficiencies
Above state avg (12.8)
8 complaint-triggered

This facility has concerning patterns with families filing complaint reports about treatment quality and communication failures. The most recurring problems involve providing appropriate treatment and care according to medical orders, timely notification of families about residents' conditions, and care planning. While all 66 deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across multiple surveys and complaint-triggered investigations suggests ongoing challenges with care consistency and family communication that warrant careful evaluation during visits.
