Hopefully in the last two years things have changed, but when my mother was there, they were very short-staffed, especially on weekends. My mother was left for hours sitting in her wheelchair, sometimes in her own excrement. She did not receive the pain medication that was ordered for weeks because of an error on their part. Some of the staff were very caring and efficient, but it was, overall, an experience I would not wish on anyone.

The place is clean and bright the employees, especially Melissa, They are friendly and everyone I met there was competent and kind. Their Physical Therapy Section is excellent. Melissa is the Director of Admissions. She is very knowledgeable. I would not go to a different rehab nor would I let anyone in my family go anywhere else.

⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ My family and I had a wonderful experience at Hamilton Grove while my Pop stayed there. From the very beginning, the process was smooth thanks to Toni, I believe she is the director of admissions.she was absolutely amazing, professional, and compassionate every step of the way. All of my Pop’s nurses and caregivers were fantastic, providing attentive and genuine care. A special shoutout to Lydia, who truly went above and beyond. Her kindness, patience, and dedication made such a difference for our family. we’re so grateful for everyone at Hamilton Grove for treating my Pop with such respect, empathy,and care. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a supportive and professional nursing home for their loved onesss!
