I have a client of mine here right now and I am livid!!! I walked in this morning and my clients room was disgusting!!! Papers makes menus straw wrappers all over the floor!!! Got here at 8am asked for housekeeping right away. Showed up at 10am and spot swept. I went out into the hallway and told her unacceptable you can not just spot sweep! She came back in with a big swiffer didn't move the chairs or the bed! Then mopped. I can imagine what her house looks like disgusting! And why does every staff member look like they been rode hard and put up wet! Look representable at least put your hair up instead of looking like a drowned rat! Absolutely disgusting I hope i never ever get hurt! Also house keeping thought it was agood idea to take the menue out of the trash hand it to me and have me fill it out🤢 and no one wears gloves are you kidding me?????

I was quite surprised to read few negative reviews because my stay in rehab has been truly extraordinary. The entire staff starting with admissions, nursing, techs, rehab, has been quite exceptional. The staff are constantly interacting, attending to, caring, professional, concern, knowledgeable at all times. Not once missing a beat. Cleanliness and grounds is 5 star too. Nutrition is also highly rated for speedy recovery. I would give Alden Staff a 6 star for excellence. The best facility I have everexperienced. HeartfeltThank you.
