Management yelled at me for getting paper for my office like I was going to steal the paper or something? And the CNA‘s always leave the bags from when they change the resident in the hallway smells atrocious.

At first I thought it was good for 93 yo Mom. But then, they gave her 17 medications that were for another patient! THESE WERE NOT HER MEDS! This woman had to have her food pureed, how did they force so many pills into her? Her body could not recover from that ,and she died a few days later!! But the ladies that do hair and nails for them are very sweet.

The nurses who have compassion, love, and care deserve 5 stars. The nursing director who stated "Let's just get her out of here as soon as we can." rather than follow the date ordered by the GP during a discharge conference deserves none. My mother was treated like dirt at Oakridge, we had to fire Dr. Schreiber before she lost all hope, he almost got her home and benefits taken away to "incapacitate" her (that's all he cared about- not rehabbing her or figuring out how to work with her medical trauma.) My mom was discharged with no medical supplies ready at home, without a sling for the lift that fit, because they didn't want to deal with her anymore. Or me. When I stated we had no supplies yet, they ignored us. She was discharged as well by ignoring orders to get her nephrostomy tube changed out and replaced, and get ME the supplies needed to take care of it at home. Because of that, she spent 8 hours in the ER less than 2 weeks after discharging because it's coming out of her body. They punish people for medication side effects. They don't value patient autonomy or independence- for her they were dishonest about some of the meds she was being given, and they wouldn't allow her to have her electric wheelchair. She would wait for hours sometimes to get a drink. She was paralyzed and was unable to move herself in a manual wheelchair. I had to beg for her to even have it the day she went home. Please don't send a loved one there. Avoid Dr. Schreiber at all costs!

My brother is there for rehab. Everyone is so nice. From the physical therapy occupation staff nurses ,cna, laundry staff , office staff and housekeeping . They answer all our questions and keep us in the loop as to how he is doing. His room is always clean and his cloths are washed and brought back The physical therapy and occupational people are great and makes sure he is doing his exercises so he can get strong. So he can resume his life independently. Again. I must add he does like the food too. .I have to admit I did see some bad reviews i was concerned but our experience has been very positive.
