What this means for your family
While many families report positive experiences with the rehabilitation team, the recurring reports of hygiene issues and delayed medication administration are concerning. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for a detailed plan on how the facility ensures timely medication delivery and daily personal hygiene for residents, and checking if they have sufficient staffing levels during weekends.

Key Review Excerpts
“I am a registered nurse that required postoperative care after a back surgery. The PT & OT staff are outstanding!!! Overall a great facility. Very attentive and caring staff.”
“My poor dad was sitting in urine with the same clothes we left him in the night before and smelled like ammonia. She was working that night had a full staff and did nothing about it.”
“The nurses brought medicine, including pain meds, over an hour late. They left him in solid clothes and bedding for hours at a time.”
