The patient I visited on a regular basis at Southeast rehab and skill center was living in horrible conditions roaches throughout her things crawling on her table. Repeatedly asked them for help to get rid of them. Broken window, which I had to tape the cardboard to the window was broken for months on end Was repeatedly Given food that was unable to eat. Laundry, repeatedly disappeared. Administrator is refusing to speak with me about any of that situation would not recommend this place to anybody. There were a few people. They were extremely nice and tried to be helpful.

My mother was here for about a month for rehab. I was extremely disappointed in the care she received. The building is not well maintained - warped floors, holes in the walls, a bathroom sink was out of order. It did not feel clean. There were some days where she did not receive any physical therapy because they did not have enough staff. Calling to speak with someone would sometimes result in phones ringing and no answer. They also prescribed medication that as a non-clinical individual I felt was inappropriate. There were certainly some staff members that were very nice. However, I strongly suggest you find another location for your loved one.

Well in less than 24 hours this place almost killed my father. I was already concerned when I showed up right after he was admitted and asked the front desk to look up my father’s room number…the guy said he didn’t know how to do that, didn’t work there, and was just covering for somebody that called in. He literally said we could walk up and down the halls and look into the rooms until we found him. That first day I visited for a couple hours and he seemed good. But then he called me at 10pm saying he had been pressing the call button for the nurse because he was supposed to take his meds at 9. In that hour, once a nurse popped in and said she’d get his meds but never returned. Turns out that hadn’t even ordered them yet. I tried to call the nurse’s station for 45 minutes but they wouldn’t answer the phone. I finally called the police. They went over to assess but also told me these complaints were not uncommon and suggested I consider taking my father out. They actually have a file folder of complaints on the place. At midnight I drove up there (a half hour away). When I got there he had just gotten his meds…and even though he needed the morphine he has been on for a year, they could only give him OxyContin because they said they didn’t have any morphine. He called me at 3:30am saying he couldn’t breathe and didn’t think he was going to make it through the night. They gave him something but wouldn’t refill his breathalyzer. The next morning he called me even worse. I called the nurse’s station saying I think he needed an ambulance and was put on hold to speak to his nurse. After 15 mins on hold I hung up and called the ambulance myself. He was in very bad shape when he got to the hospital…barely conscious. Now, after a full 24 hours in there hospital, he is doing much better. As a final note, when he was taken out of the rehab by the ambulance he was told to leave his stuff. His shoes that were on the chair in the room somehow didn’t go with him. I’ve called a few times tonight to see if they have them but…you guessed it…no answer!!! I don’t think I’ve ever written a Google review but this was needed because they are putting people in danger.
