My Mother was admitted to Guggenheimer Health and Rehab Center for estimated time of 2 weeks. Her stay wasn't what we expected all though it was a few CNA's that took pride in their positions. Most of the times they were short staffed and it took the CNA aides longer than expected for service.<br>Majority of her stay the TV wasn't working. Clinical Engineering staff came into her shared room apparently made a few adjustments but, her TV wasn't working. Food Services wasn't the best for example on the Dinner menu she received 2 slices of Fried Bologna and it was burnt black definitely couldn't eat that and a bowl of Beef Vegetables soup. Some meals I guess she could eat at least one of her Dinners was a Vegetable Lasagna and garlic bread inwhich my Mother she actually enjoyed the Lasagna.<br>Overall it wasn't the best Admission for 2 weeks she survived her stay.<br>I met with the Discharge Planning Staff to prepare for my Mom's discharge and the ladies were very professional and caring especially Mrs. Chilton.<br>When it was Mom time to be Discharged I tried several times calling to speak her Nurse . I couldn't get anyone on the phone. I wanted to make sure her Discharge Paperwork was completed when I arrived. Once I finally arrived I saw a Nurse in the hallway and asked her was my Mother's Discharge Paperwork ready? She didn't know that my Mother was being Discharged. I guess the nurse that had my mother during the morning shift didn't report to the evening nurse of at least 2 patients being discharged on that day.<br>Lack of Communication when the Nurses should have reported to the Co-worker her patients were being discharged. I was grateful for the CNA that helped gatherd Mom's belongings and assisted with helping me get Mom in my car.<br>Overall it could have been a pleasant admission if they were properly staffed when the patients needed to be changed or assistance on the bedside Commode Chair or bedpan. Majority of the time when Mom would press the call bell it's nobody at the desk to at least answer their calls by saying May I help you ? Instead of no answer or just looking at the lights above the room. Patients could be in distress or medical emergency and nobody responding for a long period of time.<br>Praying this Facility will soon get some much needed help with staffing.<br>Thank you for your time and attention to my most recent admission.

Took care of my father while my mother and I had to attend a family funeral. Nurse Dorthy of night shift was helpful, and my father was taken good care of by the admitting nurse, and any CNAs he interacted with. Staff were patient with last minute changes, and were extremely understanding, and polite. I had no issues understanding directions, and felt my father was assisted well.

My aunt was here until she passed. Unfortunately, we had no other choice but to place her here. The place is infested with mice and roaches. In fact, they have rodent traps everywhere. I’m terrified of mice and so was my aunt. There was never enough staff to care for the residents. Whenever I visited my aunt was always soaked with urine and feces. I would put the light on to see how long it would take them to respond. It was always over 30 minutes, unless they knew I was there. I don’t recommend this place. Update: Management, I have reached out and received no reply. Not surprised to see all of the fake positive reviews. An employee who works there said she turned the light on in a room and found a mouse in a patient’s bed. Apparently, this happens often. Stay away from this place. There are better options.
