My mom had a very poor experience there. She came after a stroke and was supposed to get physical and speech therapy. She didn't receive speech therapy until Day 12. She was discharged the next day. She had symptoms of recurring UTI and was never retested despite nurses saying she would be. She was taken to primary care doctor the next day to get care she should have received at handmaker and to get a speech therapy referral.

My aunt received care at Handmaker. The staff were attentive to her needs during her stay and treated her with dignity and respect. I appreciated the communication and support provided during a difficult time for our family. Thank you to everyone at Handmaker for the care you provide to your residents and patients.

Overall, we had a good experience with Handmaker. The nursing staff and therapy teams were attentive, caring, and clearly committed to patient well-being. The facility itself was clean, and most of the staff we interacted with were professional and supportive during a difficult time for our family. That said, the one area that needs improvement is communication from the social worker/case management side. We were not kept properly informed about important Medicare details, specifically when coverage for services was ending and how to appeal the discharge decision. This lack of communication made it difficult for us to plan and advocate effectively. Additionally, when we made the decision to keep our dad at the facility under self-pay, we clearly requested that his physical and occupational therapy continue. Unfortunately, this information was not communicated to the therapy department. As a result, he went approximately 2 1/2 weeks without PT/OT, which negatively impacted his recovery process. While our overall experience was positive, better coordination and communication between case management and other departments, especially regarding coverage transitions and therapy continuity, would make a significant difference for families navigating these situations.

I am a retired Health Care worker. I was a Lab Manager for years. I know how important it is have good communication with Care givers. Mary has been outstanding in keeping me informed of my cousin ( he is like a brother). I appreciate her information. I cannot be more positive about her. Joyce Sabol

The facility and staff was amazing. I had no worries while my family member was being taken care of at the facility. The physical therapy staff was amazing as well. My nana was strong and knew how to adapt to life after surgery with the help of the staff. After being discharged they continued with checking in with her and if anything was needed they would assist
