Not good for family. They left my loved one vomiting and with nausea for 2 weeks. My family was only there for short term as they needed pt. If I didn't go there when I did. I think he wouldn't have made it. The staff is nice yet there aren't enough of them.

The nursing stations are often vacant. You have long waits to speak to the doctors. The bathrooms are very unsanitary. Where the ice machines and laundry machines are dirty. No recommendations for this place.

I'm surprised how dirty are the visitors bathroom they're disgusting. First I thought it's because I always go visit on weekends and maybe there's no housekeeping but then I saw a housekeeper and I ask her a question and her response was very rude. Also the residents room are dirty these are patients that need to be taken care of and doesn't deserve to live this way. I heard from a nurse that they are short staffed I can understand but is it right to have a patient sit on their own poop for 3 hours . Well my brother did oo I have so much more to say about this rehabilitation but will anything really change

This place needs to be closed for good. The lack of care from the nurses and doctors are insane. If your heart is not in it, then find another profession. There’s money to be made elsewhere. The 9th floor staff especially, are a bunch of incompetent people. They lack all skills that are required to be nurses and doctors. If you have family that you love whole heartedly, I would advise to avoid this place by all means. Also, the place is a mess. It needs a lot of upgrades but it seems like the owners are only interested in pocketing money. The state needs to do better when evaluating this place.

This facility is absolutely horrible. They steal from the patients and neglect them. They stole My mother’s jewelry when she passed away and of course none of the staff saw her wearing the most expensive bracelet. They stole family heirlooms that was supposed to be passed down to my daughters. They stole her phone and charger. We got her a phone because no one ever answered the hospital phone when we wanted to check on her. The social workers are useless along with their supervisor. The staff stole her purse with her personal belongings ID etc. When she passed away they gave us a box of dirty clothes. It took them over 6 months to so call investigate and resolve the problem. The staff is rude and lack compassion and respect. Please do no leave your loved one here.
