New update: and my rating changed from 1 to 4….i did have an experience as mentioned, but the owner and regional nurse reached out with the quickest timing I ever seen, rectified the situation, made me feel secure and safe and I know my family member will be safe and secure becuase of the leadership the place has. Deptford center has a lot of potential and they are changing it is a beautiful place and after speaking with both, I am very happy and satisfied with Deptford center, they truly care and want the patient and visitors to have an A plus experience there. No place is perfect but to know you have a responsive admin team to get the work done is definitely a plus in my book!!! I thank you for you quick response and the dedication I heard through your voice as the owner is effective and soemthing anyone would love to be apart of!!! Once again thank you and this is my updated response to what happened and I am grateful and happy that I was able to be heard and action was taking accordingly……….this was the situation now handled the right way!!!…..Their staff is horrible the supervisor and front desk it’s the 3-11 shift that is the worse and you worry about your family member there because of how they treat visitors so not a place you want your loved one at all if I could give negative I would so no stars at all if the supervisor is this way then it makes you wonder is upper management as well to have this underneath you and to be your representation while the DON is not on premises this supervisor is not a good look for your community there so do not send you loved ones there if you do not want to deal with ignorance and disrespect and not professionalism at all and to talk about a family member’s family to other people is HIPPA so I will be reporting

These people are miracle workers. In my time here I have seen the lame stand up and walk, right before my eyes. I've been making steady progress and I believe it will be my turn soon. If you're reading this, please pray for me, that I may soon regain my ability to walk. Thank you. And I will post the date here when that day comes.
