What Families Think

Apple Rehab Guilford is a short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility where several staff members describe a caring, team-oriented workplace, and one family praised the PT/OT team and nursing support during a hip surgery recovery. However, another review raises serious concerns about understaffing, undocumented falls, and a run-down physical environment, so families should ask pointed questions about staffing ratios and incident reporting before choosing this facility.

  • Family praised PT and OT staff by name
  • CNA singled out for attentive overnight care
  • Staff described as treating residents like family
  • Facility described as clean by one reviewer

The Bad

  • One report of chronic understaffing affecting response times
  • One account of falls not being properly documented
  • One reviewer described furniture and cabinets as run-down
  • One family wanted more dedicated respiratory therapy monitoring

My mother conducted her rehabilitation from hip surgery at Apple Rehab Guilford and had a very positive experience. The facility was clean, the staff was very professional and pleasant, and even the food was good! A special shout out to the outstanding PT and OT personnel. The PT, Sam, was a true professional and her attention to detail and dedication to the patients was beyond reproach. My mother wanted me to give special recognition to CNA Taylor DeCarlo, who never faltered in his late night care when my mom needed help the most. If I could offer any criticism, it would be with the respiratory therapy. My mother is also a respiratory patient, and we could have used a respiratory professional to monitor that aspect of her care. Overall, Apple Rehab of Guilford gets 5-stars from our family.

All the apple rehabs are absolutely disgusting and run down especially Guilford. You would think all the money they get from the residents they would make it more comfy and up to date being in GUILFORD instead of having old furniture and cabinets that are falling apart . The administration has no compassion or professionalism except for Cheryl . And for the people that think of sending a loved one there , I wouldn’t send my loved one to Apple because they are always understaffed which is why it’s difficult to run to a resident that is calling because the aides are tied up with another resident and the aides end up burnt out. The nurses don’t always document when a resident falls down or gets injured and when you have a trusting worker that tries to report it the administrator or nursing director is to busy to hear it. It’s very unsafe and not trustworthy enough. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there .

Apple Rehab Guilford is a great place to work! The staff are hard working, compassionate and care for each resident as they would want their loved ones to be cared for. There is an emphasis on teamwork to assure that everything that needs to be done is completed in a timely, efficient manner. We are always happy to see the smiling faces as people leave our facility on their last day after a successful rehab stay. Top notch!

I have worked at Apple Rehab Guilford for a few years, and I have to say I love my job! The staff truly cares about the residents their families and the quality of care that they receive. The environment makes everyone feel like home, the staff treats the residents as if they are family. I feel confident in the care and compassion that exists at this facility, I would recommend it to my own family.

I love working at Apple Rehab Guiford. The staff is wonderful, the building is clean, the location is perfect for me and my short commute, the hours/schedule are relatively flexible, and the PTO is honestly the most GENEROUS benefit I have ever heard of from ANY company! 4 weeks off in your first year! Can’t beat that! I have made some great friends, and I learn so much every day. So happy to be here!
