I was a patient here and the care provided was amazing. The nursing team made sure all my medications were given appropriately and I bounced back quicker than I was originally supposed to.
Really terrible experience with MCC. My dad was sent here after discharge from the hospital for a bladder infection. He was supposed to receive short term care that included PT and OT so he could regain the strength he'd lost during his hospital stay and return home. His first day there was two day before Christmas so it was understandable that nothing was done right away. However, nothing was done the following week either. He was not evaluated for PT and OT and did not get a treatment plan. He was walked down to the PT room to a 10-15 minute workout that was too much for him. There was never a care team meeting or discharge date. He was evaluated by a social worker who determined he had severe dementia while also admitting they weren't fully sure why he was there. (The infection he had can cause cognitive impairment. We told by the hospital that some of the medications he was on could also contribute to this). My mom was rudely given the option to send him to a nursing home or bring in a 24/7 nurse for home care. She very sarcastic to my mother when my mom told her she had experience in caring for a person with dementia (her mother). Dad began to complain about stomach pains several days after he entered MCC, but our concerns were dismissed. When more symptoms appeared, our concerns were again dismissed as "oh the flu is going around". He tested negative for the flu but they were still dismissive. After several days of increasing symptoms and complaints a nurse called us to tell us he was being sent to the ER and asked why he was originally hospitalized and why he was even at MCC. She said she couldn't find the information on his chart. No one at MCC seemed to have any idea why he was even there which is absolutely terrifying. The only communication we got was one meeting with the doctor on the first day and the social worker call about their testing results. No other communication was given because again, no one seemed to know why he was there. Staff got snippy when asked questions about his care. If MCC is the top rated short/long term care facility in the county it scares me to think what the others are like. Avoid sending your loved ones here.
My mom was at MCC in March of 2025 and I do not want to share my mom's complete experience/information but I do want to warn people that I would NOT under any circumstances send yourself or a loved one here! They are especially not equipped to deal with older people. I do not understand how they have the rating that they do. I do not have the money or the time to fight them in court, and because my mom did not pass while there it would be hard to prove she died of their neglect but she was gone within 5 months of leaving there (which that was a whole other story, getting her out of there) and let me tell you for certain that they sent her down the path to her passing. She left there unable to walk, underweight, under nourished and with a stage 3 pressure sore. The only thing I can do now is WARN people of this place! please fight for your loved ones and yourself and refuse this place.
My aunt recently had care at this location. The staff was so kind to her, attentive, and professional. The facility was clean and welcoming when we would visit. Thank you for the attention and care. Our family is grateful. ♥️
I have recently had two stays at Memorial Care Center. Both stays, I had excellent care with very caring, and competent nurses and aides. They were so kind, they soon became friends. The physical and occupational therapists were also great. The food was great. If I am ever in need of skilled nursing care, I will always seek to return there!
