Just concerned about alcohol being given there when most patients are on medication

From Day 1 that my mom was admitted for rehabilitation; the staff treated my mom well. She felt safe in the nursing home environment and loved all the staff. I didn’t feel like I had to worry about her well being at all. My mom is coming home next week after being the nursing home since January. Thank you for taking great care of my mother!

Staff gossips too much instead of actually taking care of the residents. So many UTIs, a things there. ice water not being passed enough. Not enough care given. Building runs short staff a lot especially on nights. Housekeeping almost non existent. No structure in management no leadership in that building. STNAs worrying about trying to “run off staff” instead of helping with their residents. STNAs going through residents charts and sitting behind nurses stations. Facility is unkept and unclean a lot of residents haven’t had baths in weeks there nails and toes dirty.

My husband received rehab here after suffering a stroke, and I can’t say enough good things about this facility. From the moment he arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Everyone—from the nurses and therapists to the aides and front desk—was incredibly friendly, loving, and attentive. Then facilities clean and well maintained. The nurses went above and beyond every single day. They treated him not just as a patient, but as family. You could tell they truly cared about his recovery and comfort. The Activities Director also went above and beyond to keep the residents engaged and encouraged, bringing joy and laughter even on tough days. The Nutritionist took the time to make sure his meals met his needs and supported his recovery, and that personal touch meant so much. It genuinely felt like home—warm, supportive, and filled with people who love what they do. I’m forever grateful for the compassion and dedication shown to my husband during his stay. This place is a true blessing for anyone needing rehabilitation and care. We thank you all! ❤️
