What this means for your family
Judson Park is highly regarded for its independent living lifestyle and memory care, but families should exercise extreme caution regarding the skilled nursing and rehab units. Before committing, specifically ask for a tour of the nursing floor and observe staff response times to call lights; you may also want to request a meeting with the nursing director to discuss their medication management protocols.

Key Review Excerpts
“The aides and/or nurses at Judson Park will sometimes ignore a call light if the resident has 'annoyed' them. I've been witness to people peeing themselves and walking around with wet pants.”
“Discharge medication list did not match medications given at facility and missing medication all together. Very unprofessional and not to mention dangerous.”
“My husband came home today after spending 4 weeks at the Rehab... When he first arrived, he couldn't stand without 2-person assistance. They started working with him and he now walks with his walker independently.”
