5 stars the first thing I noticed as entering the facility set air quality great I DID NOT notice a stingy smelly urine at all.😃 The past two times that I have been there the place was stench smell of urine everywhere. The new faculty Garden City healthcare wants to bring good health care I've experienced a very good session with 98% of the staff I talked to management and they said they will address the issues so we can be 100%. A few people can disrupt the way that the management wants to lead the company. The other thing I would like to mention is that they offer students in training to come and train with the nurses other staff. Therapy they have a good system where there are therapy to get your situation under control so when you leave you're able to benefit from their healthcare. Food,, staff member from the kitchen came to visit and told me there are other options for people desire other foods that are on the menu. Most of the food was well-prepared. There was only one disappointment a grilled cheese sandwich a certain individual made a decision and decided to serve mean a burnt grilled cheese bad taste took away taste of the rest of the mill. I mentioned it to the kitchen staff person that if there's any question is to ask their Superior management, they said we will definitely take care of that situation. To end my information on my stay I would have to say please bring your family members to this garden City healthcare it has change to greatly to better and comfort the patients.

Garden City Health Center is possibly the best rehab i have been a patient. Key words: very efficient and accomodating. The staff is friendly, and caring. Clean is and understatement. Constantly cleaning. Food is tailored within the meals to accommodate food needs. There are some alternate choices. There are two gyms. Scheduled therapy and they put you thru your paces. I requested this facility because they did my cousins double knee replacement therapy. He was extremely satisfied. 5 star is not enough

I cannot say enough praises for this facility. My mother-in-law was there for 3 weeks rehabing from knee replacement surgery. I always had tons of questions every day about her health maintenance, etc. and the staff could have easily got frustrated with me. Never once did I experience a cranky employee, and if one didn't know the answer, they referred me to who did. They basically have an open door policy for all their departments which is great. My mother-in-law got discharged yesterday and I owe everything to Garden City for her great rehab experience! God bless you all for what you do to help the elderly.

I agree with many of the negative comments regarding cleanliness and subpar care. My mother broke her femur on Saturday October 4 and had a rod installed late afternoon on Monday October 6. On October 7, she was transferred to Garden City at approximately 5pm to recieve physical therapy to be able to walk again (She had not stood on her leg since breaking it). She was placed in the middle bed of a three bed room There were issues from moment one including giving her food she was allergic to. I called immediately and left a message to have the administrator call me first thing in the morning. During the night my mother waited for over an hour to have her diaper changed. At 8AM (10/8) I called and asked again for an administrator to call me back. At 10:30 I arrived at the facility and was assured someone would come talk to me. I also expressed my concern that equipment from the other two beds were encroaching on her area greatly decreasing the walking area on the sides of my mother's bed (14 inches on one side and 22 inches on the other) and I even tripped twice (I am 100% disabled). Please see attached photos. At approximately 11:30 am , I stepped out for a moment. While I was gone, staff was sent to take an xray and the nurse insisted she get up and walk (without any aid) approximately 10 feet because the portable xray machine did not have enough room to be next to her bed. After this happened she was in extreme pain and her pain pill was not give for another hour. I am extremely concerned that the administration would refused to talk to me and that a nurse would make a patient walk before being evaluated by Physical Therapy.i had her transferred that afternoon to another facility. I would not let these people care for my pets.
