The staff there are very rude to the patients. They don't handle COVID procedures as they should. Very understaffed. And some of the staff are very rude.

My brother was in this facility for approx 18 months until he passed away. The nursing staff and nursing assistants were very good to my brother, but they were grossly understaffed. The administration is uncaring and totally disregarded many of our concerns. At the end we had to fight for any comfort measures requested for him and the family. The caseworker assigned to him was inattentive and actually rude. There was a family member there daily checking on him. We had to take it upon ourselves to supply safety and comfort measures for him. Loved the caregivers. Administration was terrible.

Sundale is Wonderful My wife Jan had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic last month. She needed follow-up rehabilitation in Morgantown after her hospital stay. We decided to move her to Sundale Rehabilitation because of their excellent reputation. We were pleased to be accommodated there. The nurses, nursing assistants, and housekeeping at Sundale are extraordinary. The facility is impeccably clean. The medical director is among the best in the region. We could not have received better care. The staff and administration were professional, competent, compassionate, have positive attitudes and were always ready to assist. My wife Jan was treated like a queen. The recent renovations are making the institution even more bright, cheery and functional. The food was quite good. Institutional food is difficult to prepare. Their kitchen staff is to be commended. There was adequate variety, the fresh fruits and vegetables were nicely prepared and presented, and the desserts were tasty. Our special requests were accommodated.

One of our very dear church members just died, after spending the last year or so at Sundale. I was so impressed by the competent and caring staff at Sundale on my many visits. The family kept affirming Sundale's care of their loved one during the funeral week.
