What this means for your family

The rehabilitation therapy department at Greene Meadows is highly regarded and could be an excellent choice for short-term recovery. However, families should be vigilant regarding staffing levels; we recommend asking specifically about nurse-to-patient ratios on weekends and how the facility handles call-light response times during off-hours.

Greene Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center receives high praise for its dedicated therapy team, particularly in speech and physical therapy, and several individual staff members who are frequently cited for their compassionate care. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding understaffing, inconsistent response times to call lights, and dissatisfaction with food quality and temperature. While many visitors find the facility clean and welcoming, there are serious concerns raised by some regarding neglect and communication during a resident's stay.

Key Review Excerpts

The therapy team is outstanding! My sister and grandmother were both residents last year, and my aunt is currently there... The food isn’t the best according to my sister and grandmother… but let’s be honest, it’s institutional food!

Family member of multiple residents · 2025★★★★★

The nurses and CNAs were really nice to me. At one point I had the stomach flu. I was really sick. CNA Shaniqua (Nini) brought me chicken broth and ginger ale continuously the next day to rehydrate me.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

The staff on the floor were nice, wished there were more staff to attend the residence. Front desk staff can be a bit more friendlier along with a smile!
