What this means for your family

Bellbrook is highly regarded for its memory care and independent living atmosphere, but families should exercise caution regarding the rehabilitation unit. Multiple reviewers have reported concerns about understaffing and dismissive attitudes toward medical complaints; we strongly recommend observing the facility during off-hours and asking specific questions about their nurse-to-patient ratios.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff was attentive and caring; the medical oversight effective; and they saw my mother as a whole person, not just someone with dementia.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

Unfortunately, some of the nursing staff seems to consider reporting problems as complaints. Consequently the problem is only now been taken seriously.

Rehab patient · 2023★★★★★

Not enough staff, ran out of food, staff would not answer the call button and just told mom to use her diaper, she only has one kidney.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★
