If I could give 10 stars I would! I'm not a big review writer but I have to give credit where credit is due and this review is looooong overdue. My brother was at this facility and I have to admit I was probably the worst family member they have ever dealt with. I was not ready to make the decisions that he needed me to make because he could not make them for himself and I struggled to do what he would have wanted. The staff deserve an award strictly for dealing with me and my craziness LOL. I wish I was better with names, but the nurse in charge had the patience of a saint. She talked me off the ledge more times than I could count. To all the nurses, aids and respiratory I'm sorry for giving yall a hard way to go. Thank you for everything you did for my brother and my family he received the best care I could ever ask for while there.

My brother was down there for a short period of time. When talking about his rehabilitation care some of them did not do what were supposed to do. The CNAs that did take a care of my brother, I thank them. My brother went home to glory. I went back down to Fox on broad St in Phil, to get my brother belongings his blanket is missing nobody knows where it is (someone stole it). Do not take anything down there of value. This facility needs improvement a whole lot of it.

This place is absolutely horrible. They will give the wrong meds. Not read charts. Throw patients around. They for sure drugged up my loved one and lied about it. My love one has now passed because this place didn’t move her once and the bed sores turned into sepsis. So do not I beg you do not send your love one here. If i could give 0 stars I would. They make me sick.

My brother is here & I was so worried about him because he's not close enough for me to see him every day. When he was in a facility close to home some of the things that I've experienced was absolutely terrible! But when I came to visit him here at Fox Subacute I felt so much better seeing the all the care he was getting. They really do an amazing job and so the piece of mind it has given me knowing he is so well cared for is a blessing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I am trying to find a place closer to home for him & there even helping me to try a find a place that will meet his needs.
