What this means for your family

Park Crescent is frequently praised for its clean environment and effective rehabilitation therapy, making it a potential candidate for short-term recovery. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding chronic understaffing and inconsistent nursing care; we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staffing levels firsthand and speaking directly with the administrator about your loved one's specific care needs.

Key Review Excerpts

When I arrived I could not walk the therapy department didn’t give up on me and I now can walk. They did not give up on me when I gave up on myself.

Rehab patient · 2021★★★★★

The staff are always short and patient's get left in bed to many times, for to long that will create a bed sore. Most of the staff is nice, look out for the ones who are not nice.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★☆☆

My Husband Ricky Felix was just admitted to Park Crest and he loves the Rehab but has been complaining that the meals he’s had since arriving have been cold.
