This is my second time here for rehab, I enjoyed my stay as patient and would come again if I needed it. I received great rehab from the PT/OT. I enjoyed working with Dave, Andy, Dax, Chloe, Josie, from therapy team. I love that there are tons of activities daily, I enjoy Fran from activities. Kitchen food is so so but they try. Nursing staff is on the ball, especially Bernard he is amazing.

Maybe it's different in other wings but this place is just not good. They seem to hire the bottom of the barrel here. The night nurse actually gets mad if you need something, and just talks on her phone the whole time and the case manager that I got assigned to really doesn't care about anybody here. I can't even walk with a wheelchair worldwalker and she's telling me that I need to be discharged now and that I am all healed. After a shattered hip, two broken shoulders, my rib cage is very fractured, and I had spinal surgery just a month ago. I am definitely not healed!!! I still need assistance in so much in my recovery. And they are not willing to help

I rate This Place 5 stars because of The staff that I’ve Have dealt with for the past 6 Months , My Mom was In the Respiratory unit Hands Down The RT team IS very Good and Knowledgeable Most of all Kind, Being In Dr Natrajan Care 🙌🏽 The Best we have continued with him wish we can bring The RTs with Us! , Mayra, Helped me every step of the way! The Nurses That We Had Are The Best Ones!!! Day Shift Rosario, Vicki, Barbie, , Night Shift Hoa And Mary We Had Dr. Alsbie was Our Dr, I wish that we could’ve continued with him, He is the Best and The Nurses appreciated him so much that he’s Available For them .. OMG!!! The wound Care Team!!! You have a wound come here !!! Steven And Nabi work wonders !!! Being in their care made a difference, they explain and teach you so u can Do better ! They are the most Knowledgeable work great together!! In Our Experience Consistency Is Key. The consistency provided by the facility made the Process A little Easier. They Made Arrangements to accommodate my Mom who is a Quad, and now on a Ventilator for being the worst thing , I wanted To change her Feeding formula they helped me! Every one I came in contact with Listened to me, didn’t turn me away with my concerns and Questions. Having people in places like this that are Good And Helpful Make A Difference.

There are a select few employees here that are exceptional. Unfortunately, nobody wears any kind of badge or ID so you don't know who anyone is. I saw one badge in all the times I was there on an LPN from another area. There aren't any standard uniform colors so you can't tell between housekeeping, dietary, nursing, etc. This place was the worst of all of my experiences in any kind of healthcare facility. I have worked in Healthcare for over 25 years. How anybody survives this place is an absolute wonder to me. My dad was supposed to be in isolation due to the type of infection he had. Nobody wore gowns nor did they require visitors to. Many staff touched him without gloves (which is not ok, even if he's not in isolation). So, hopefully, the hand sanitizer was excellent because that was all that was between my dad in isolation and the other patients. The food was cold. I admit that I thought my dad was exaggerating or just being picky but I witnessed many terrible meals myself. One was so bad that I asked the food services lady very kindly if it was possible to heat the food. She did not verbally respond or make eye contact. She took the food away as if I ruined her day and brought back a hot plate without saying a thing even though I told her "Thank you so much". There was trash everywhere. I watched a heparin syringe sit in the same area for over a week. My dad had one bag of IV antibiotics hanging and the one from the day before that was empty also hanging on the pole. The trash was 1 foot away. Since his port was not working, the IV pole kept crying about an occlusion/blockage. They ignored it and kept flushing him over and over with heparin. To avoid the alarms, the nurse? just left his antibiotic hanging and connected and just hoped that somehow gravity would magically do it's thing. I had to personally find and tell the nurse that his medicine was not being administered for her to come in. She forgot 2 times to clamp the line when she disconnected it, spilling antibiotics all over the floor. She held it over the trash and continued to let it spill out until she had the idea to clamp the tubing. She did this 2 different times, within 15 minutes. She had to get an LPN to come in and try to get things going. They ended up having to start another line. Luckily, all the antibiotics that were poured out or given so late didn't mess up his therapy. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it comes back and he goes septic again... There were maybe 2 nurses that could answer my questions. The other nurses had no idea what was going on. I was actually convinced they were MAs and not RNs. I have no idea what their titles were but they seemed lost and confused. At least a few were nice but there were some hostile ones. If my dad needed something, he'd put the call light on and nobody would come for a long time sometimes. The nurse's station in the 700s wing is around a corner and they can't see most of the rooms. He had to call me several times so that I could call the front desk. The front desk about 50% of the time could hear me but I couldn't hear them because their phones were having problems... the whole time my dad was there. I would have them transfer me and hopefully, the nurse would answer. I would have to do this over and over because when the nice lady up front offered to take a note to the nurse to call me, they never would. I often had to show up in person just to bring him edible food ask for pull-ups for him or, one time, ask for new bedding and change his sheets myself. There is not enough room for me to write all of the things that we experienced at this place. Pictures: 1. My dad's used medication hanging on an iv pole in the closet from the room he had been moved out of. There was a new patient in the room and you can see this pole from outside the room as you walked by with my dad's information on it. 2. My dad's current and previous used antibiotics hanging. 3. View of the room walking in. 4. Trash that stayed where it was for at least a week.
