I was at alden for 18 days. Very nice facility food was good but the staff was excellent. Physically therapists Kevin and Joanna. Were great with me even when I was crabby. Nurses Maria Kelly and Chantelle were wonderful and prompt when I needed them. I don’t have all the other names but everyone I dealt with - like Moses were great at their jobs very clean and pretty knowledgeable I would definitely recommend Alden to others searching for a rehabilitation center

I left a message with the receptionist for Kat the Director of Admissions to call me back about the potential admittance of a relative who needs rehab care. Kat failed to call me back on two occasions. I never heard from her. This facility does not seem to together or they are incredibly busy and could care less about new intakes. In any case, do better, when an interested client calls for information. This is appallingly poor!!

In years past, my grandmother and aunt had stayed at Alden and were happy with the care provided, so when my father fractured his pelvis, Alden was his first choice, and he was there for close to a month. He is typically very conservative with praise, so the fact that he is home now and STILL speaking highly of Kelly, Kevin, Joanna and the rest of the team is saying something. Thank you, guys!!

Rude staff and respiratory aide that would not help assist another Cna from falling told them to go get the nurse because it’s not their job then the nurse couldn’t do it because her shoulder and said go find another cna . That’s crazy .
