I have to show gratitude and appreciation for the facilty and the folks that are there helping people that really need it. They do a good job there. The social worker that worked with our families needs was spot on and had a wealth of knowledge and very resourceful. Clean competent care.<br>The only negative thing I can say about the place is its location. Over the years I think low income housing surrounding it makes for interesting company near the facility

If you love your people please don't let them go here. They did not do a good job with my husband and I was there everyday until he passed. If I could have done something about I would've.

Found our Nurses, CNAs, Therapists and RAs to be good and caring people. Was with them for three months and have no reservations about the choice of Vancouver S&R for my wife's rehab. Housekeeping was thorough, and the kitchen provided a good variety of well prepared meals. Special mention to the Speech therapist for her work with my wife, and to our RCM for her good communicating and for getting needed things done smoothly.

The care was ok except my 91 year old mother wasn’t given much of a chance to improve before she was kicked out in less than three weeks with a broken hip. My biggest frustration is they wanted to send us home with a wheelchair even though she had one (and was being transported via stretcher) and assured me more than once that it would be covered by Medicare. (I told<br>them we didn’t need it) Well within two months my ninety-four year old father received two bills totaling $200. When I found out about I called the clinic three times over two weeks with either being transferred and told a social worker would get back to me or transferred to their voicemail. Never a call back in two weeks. So once I was in Vancouver and could get ahold of the bill, I called the equipment company and they said the $200 was a 20 percent overage fee Medicare doesn’t cover. Not what I was told at all. I don’t know how the elderly are supposed to deal with these sorts of things if they don’t have an advocate. We got it cancelled but Vancouver Rehab specialty needs to do better

This rehabilitation facility is the worst place for a loved one to be released and cared for. A family member who was walking but needed hip rehabilitation only received two days of rehabilitation in seven weeks. Then, they refused to allow him to go to the hospital for a back injury he sustained from being transferred into a shower chair in the shower. When he stated that he gets into the shower chair in his room, the CNA said that wasn’t how he did it. So, he got a second back injury and a wound on his foot from another transfer about two weeks into his rehabilitation stay.<br><br>Fast forward to the fourth week, and he had a bad infection that swelled up his leg. We let the doctor know that he had a bad infection in his leg, but the doctor said that he was the doctor and didn’t have an infection. A few hours later, the doctor called and said that he was on antibiotics for an infection.<br><br>Fast forward two weeks, and his scratch on his foot was black and had spread throughout his entire foot and ankle. They still refused to let him go to the hospital because they said they would treat him for it. We refused to let him stay when we walked in and saw what his foot looked like. Remember that when he was admitted to the facility, he had no wounds or injuries and was walking. It was just his hip that he needed rehabilitation for.<br><br>So, his stay at this place resulted in two back injuries because of a lack of staffing for a two-person transfer, two days of rehabilitation, and they have claimed nine weeks of his twelve weeks of rehabilitation for the year. And he had to have his leg below the knee amputated. Is this the kind of care you want for your loved ones? Be safe and find another facility for your loved one’s rehabilitation needs. I would add pictures, but they aren’t something that you would want etched into your brain.
