The physical therapy is excellent. There are some CNA's who care. Not so much for those working the night shift. My husband went days without a shower and ended up with rashes. He was left sitting in a wheelchair for hours. His legs were supposed to be elevated, but were not. We were billed for items we did not need and/ or did not use. He waited sometimes an hour for someone to take him to the toilet. If I was not there to be sure he was being cared for, he did not receive prescribed care . We paid a premium for care, we expected a lot more. This isn't the McKnight Place that took care of my husband's parents years ago.

Stayed here for about 3 weeks after one one-week hospital stay. Couldn't walk even to the bathroom when I was delivered here, but when I left after physical therapy, etc., I am back on my feet living at home without any assistance. In my opinion, a great place to recover from serious injuries!

I had a horrible experience sending my mother here- from admission to her passing away (this was a little over a year ago)- the LPNs were very unprofessional and did not even understand that my mom had dementia- even though the EMR was clear on this, the techs and LPNs were uncaring and left my mom in her urine, were unprofessional with me; the staff lost her DNR paperwork- had my mom sign a new form, but staff filled this out incorrectly; staff did not take care of my mom when she exhibited clear signs of infection, mismanaged doctor's orders to collect stat urine sample; long story short- I was in the facility, trying to get help to get my mom off the toilet, had to repeatedly ask various staff for help- finally got someone to help, and my mom had a heart attack- the ambulance people had to perform CPR on her as the facility did not have the DNR paperwork properly filled out- this was super traumatic for me; I would never send a family member to this facility.

They do the best they can to look after a loved one that cannot be taken care of at home, in a non-depressive setting. Are they perfect?, far fro it, yet I haven't found one that is.
