Fort Valley Health and Rehab may be an older facility that could benefit from some interior updates and building improvements, but one thing that consistently stands out is how well the exterior and grounds are maintained. The landscaping is always neat and cared for, with shrubs regularly trimmed and groomed, giving the property a welcoming and pleasant appearance. The parking lot and sidewalks are kept clean and free of debris, which shows attention to detail and pride in the facility’s upkeep. The well-maintained outdoor areas make a positive first impression and reflect the staff’s effort to create a safe and orderly environment for residents and visitors alike.

My brother stayed in FVHR for 5 months, coming in with a serious health condition and being extremely underweight. The staff was attentive to his needs and worked hard to bring my brother back from the brink. While the facility and furnishings are dated, what was most important to me was the cleanliness, the attention provided to my brother by the staff, the homey feel, and the fact that any time I visited the interior smelled clean, not antiseptic. I would suggest that, if and when possible, there be daily and weekly opportunities for residents to sit outside in the fresh air and sunshine. I believe this would improve their mental and physical well-being.

Initially, my mother's interaction with this facility seemed promising, but my experience has since raised serious concerns. Despite their apparent assumptions, my mother is capable. She can read, write, and comprehend fully, yet the staff insists on directing all communication and paperwork through me. Beyond this, the facility itself desperately needs an update. The rooms appear to be decades old and are in poor condition. While the nursing staff seemed adequate in the beginning, their care has declined significantly. They have been neglecting my mother's hygiene, leaving her improperly cleaned, which has resulted in painful sores. Disturbingly, she is often left sitting in her urine late into the night, sometimes as late as 10 or 11 o'clock. Furthermore, the nurses have been attempting to dictate when my mother receives her medication, disregarding her knowledge of her own needs related to her rare lung disease. While I may outwardly agree with them, my mother is fully aware of her body and her required medication schedule. Her age does not diminish her cognitive abilities, and it's disheartening to witness her being treated as if it does. I will be relieved when she is no longer in this facility's care. Adding to my concerns, the therapist appeared hesitant to acknowledge my mother's ability to stand independently while using a supportive belt to transfer to her stroller or the commode. It's baffling that they were even considering releasing her this Friday. Thankfully, a doctor intervened and recognized that she is not yet ready for discharge. Overall, this facility has been a significant disappointment. The staff seems largely inexperienced, and the entire place is in dire need of both interior and exterior renovations. It's unacceptable that my mother is receiving this level of care.

This place is a dump. They haven't updated the facility since they built it many many years ago. When you walk into it you go back in time. All accommodations are run down and dilapidated. It's dark there. No natural light. Very depressing . This is not a place to put someone you love. The only thing they have going for themselves is the staff. They try to do their best with the resources they have. They are short staffed and underpaid. I think this place needs to be knocked down and rebuilt but I doubt that will happen.

I wish I could give it a zero star .This is the nastiest place I have ever seen.Roach eggs in drawers..The staff is not informative at all.My mother in law was in feces and a broken bed The tech had the nerve to walk in the room and turn off the nurse button but offered no assistance. She had a serious attitude. Staff was Facetiming with friends or whomever instead of taking care of patients. This place need to be shutdown...I know Covid has a shortage of nurses and techs but hire people that really care for the elderly. Elderly Abuse is real. It's not a good feeling when it happens to one of your family members
