If I could give this "facility" -5 stars I would. The level of neglect from the nurses and staff is unbelievable. They left my father with untreated infections numerous times leading to numerous hospital visits, and multiple times they sent him to the wrong hospital. This place is looking at a lawsuit.

Azalea Health and Rehabilitation Center doesn't even deserve one star. I wouldn't wish staying at this place on my worse enemy! Residents call for help and are left lying in urine and feces for hours before being cleaned up (nurse call button is ignored by staff) and are highly prone to getting bed sores due to not being turned in bed appropriately. Baths are few and far between. Food is slop - tasteless and unhealthy. Beware of this sorry place! They just don't care. Being short-staffed is not an excuse in the medical field. You still should care and show compassion towards those who depend on you. If you don't have those qualities, you're not in the right field. Not an acceptable facility for short term rehab much less long term living.

If I could give 0 stars I definitely would. This lady has been harassing my family when we come visit our family member. Every time we come visit she is always rude and asking us questions about money, clothes and tells everyone his business. She violates HIPPA and she should be fired. There is no reason why she should be harassing my mom and questioning her every time we come visit. My mom has complained so many times and nothing has been done . Her and the staff goes around telling our family member business and nothing is done . My mom has been targeted every time she comes up there. She also acts like she don’t say or do anything. That place is unprofessional and I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting your loved ones in Azalea Health Center by Harborview.

The Facility has a great staff on days and night. The down side is the staff minimal required personnel which means they are over worked. The food is a mystery ( unseasoned unidentifiable mush plates) every meal unless you request a sandwich. The building needs a deep clean if they aren’t going to direct funds to repairs and updating the facility. Patients are every where. Speaking of the patients the building has no check points not sure if that’s protocol patients are wondering unsupervised which could potentially cause an incident or injury. The parking lot there aren’t any spaces for visitor’s to park. Which I can’t blame them I wouldn’t want family members to see the worn down building. Any how the visitors and staff park in the same approximately 30 spots. You have to park at the emergency room behind the facility and walk to visit handicapped or not. Please check in on your love ones at different times of the day. Please visit your loved ones and make sure their basic needs are met because sometimes the hot water works sometimes it doesn’t. The laundry was having issues also no washer or dryer at the facility was working properly. Please advocate for your loved ones especially the ones that can’t communicate properly. I gave it two stars because the staff is good.
