The hospital recommended putting my mother in here for two weeks rehab in summer woods. I would not recommend this nursing facility or rehab to anybody. My mother laid here for 36 hours with no antibiotics no pain medication no nothing.

I would not recommend anyone put thier loved ones in this place as you can see there are nurses in this place that should not be nurses and have a attitude and dont put themselves in the patients shoes as well dont care about the patients environment that they live in.

Don’t put your loved ones here. It’s not a good place. Unstaffed, they don’t know what’s going on with their patients medically. This is due to the staff doesn’t care. I’ve hear the remarks made about patients who can’t help themselves by nurses. They are bad. If your a patient you are expected to just accept whatever they do or don’t do without a word. Injuries are unknown and unrecorded. Patients don’t have water in their pitchers to drink. If you ask for anything for your loved one they treat you terrible. It’s work they don’t want to do. If you love your family don’t ever put them here!!!! The local jail is better see if they will take them!!! One star is too good.
