What this means for your family
While the rehabilitation team is highly regarded, the recent reports of staff unprofessionalism and communication failures are concerning. We strongly recommend that families tour the specific room their loved one will occupy rather than relying on a model room, and ask for a direct line to the nursing station to ensure accessibility.

However, recent reviews from 2025 and 2026 highlight serious concerns regarding communication, hygiene, and unprofessional behavior by nursing staff. Families should be aware of the discrepancy between the facility's 'model' rooms and the actual living conditions provided to residents.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Ryan from the social service department was the absolute biggest help he went above and beyond helping me with any concerns or questions n making a safe n secure discharge plan for my sister to come home”
“I found the place to be a little run down though. When we were looking at places we went to MM and they showed us a really nice room with a window and furniture, nicely painted etc. so we felt it would be nice but in reality, what we ended up with was FAR different.”
“My mom is at Mohawk Meadows. I don't understand how they can have no phones in the room and then no one answers the phone when you call the nurses. They actually hang up the phone on you.”
