I was delighted when my husband was accepted at Buffalo Crossing upon discharge from the Specialty Hospital. I toured several facilities and Buffalo Crossing far exceeded the others. It looks more like an upscale hotel than a nursing home. The staff was responsive upon our arrival and the room was spacious and the decor was more like a home. He even has a screened porch with chairs!
My family and I could not be happier with the truly exceptional care my mother received during her extended stay of nearly four months at Buffalo Crossings. From the moment she arrived, the entire staff—nurses, therapists, and administrative team—was nothing short of attentive, professional, and deeply compassionate. They are not only highly skilled but also incredibly encouraging and enthusiastic, demonstrating a passion for their work. We felt they genuinely loved helping patients recover and reach their "new best". The facility itself is well maintained, comfortable, and welcoming. We highly recommend Buffalo Crossings to any family seeking the best possible rehabilitative care.
First and foremost, when you enter the facility, it is very, very pleasing to the eye. Secondly, the lady at the reception desk was helpful and kind Thirdly, the accommodations are large, comfortable and welcoming The only negative that I could voice at all is hearsay. I have two friends that are currently there, and the comment from both of them was that the food itself could be better. That is very correctable and it would be a 10+ if that was done.
Update: spoke with UM Cassandra and DON Sara. Had a great informative conversation and all the miscommunication and barriers has been cleared and sorted out. With the coordination of help , I was finally able to speak with my dad. Also spoke with Dawn in admissions and she also assisted in coordinating a conversation with my father, she also provided valuable information on the process there . This place is gorgeous! Therapy room is incredible! Such a clean modern facility! How the care is there … NO CLUE! My father has been there going on week 2 for short term rehab. He can’t answer his phone without assistance. I have called multiple times a day to talk with nursing and NEVER can talk to someone. I have called a spoken with Dawn in admissions and now have left 2 messages and nothing ! I have left 2 messages with the therapy dept ! I now have a message in with the Director Todd. All my family wants is an actual update on his progress to determine discharge needs when he’s ready. Not much to ask at all Communication here is horrible! The receptionists are lovely and the only contact you’ll ever make if your love one comes here. Very frustrating when my father’s entire family does not live local . So it may be gorgeous on the outside but beware if you’re not local you will never know how your love one is doing.
I have had multiple experiences with rehab centers, both for my self and loved ones. I have been a patient in my home, inpatient as well as out patient and I have never had the rehab theray that I received at Buffalo Crossing. Because I hadn't heard of Buffalo Crossing until 2 days before my surgery, I took a quick tour with Todd, the Administrator. Not only was I surprised that he had time to talk to me, he took the time to personally take and show me around, introducing me to those I would probably be working with. After my tour, I put this as my number one place to go for rehab. Now that I have experienced 19 days there, I can't say one thing bad word about it. Everyone that cared for me acted professionally, respectfully, and very friendly. Not one acted like you were expecting too much from them. Food was very tasty, presented well and plentiful. There was no unpleasant fragrance ever because it is immaculately kept clean. It is maintained like it was the White House. I was also very impressed with how beautifully it is laid out, decorated and how very interesting the design of the common areas are. Each personal rooms are very spacious and arranged with more than adequate seating for you and guests to enjoy a visit. No one will ever have to borrow chairs from a neighboring room or use a bedside commode for your guest to sit on. No, not here, I believe, ever. If while you are at rehab you don't want just exercise to fill you day, then there is Bingo, Happy Hour 2x a week (it really is Happy Hour), free manicures, seasonal parties, oh, yes, horse and dog therapy if that is your thing, crafts and much more for fun. Or you can be like me and bring your own fun to fill the free time. Because, I wanted the best result I could following my hip surgery, I requested rehab to get me back on my feet. I was so impressed with where I am at the end, I requested to do my out patient therapy here as well, to continue on my healing journey. And I will be back if I still need a knee revision in the future. If you need any kind of rehab therapy for yourself or a loved one, and if you haven't guessed already, I wholeheartedly recommend you take a tour or a stay here for yourself or a that loved one. I bet, like me, you will not be disappointed.
