Only bring your loved one here if you do not want them to receive even the lowest standard of care, if you want their current level of care to deteriorate, if you want them to receive the worst in nutrition, if you are sure you want the nonexistent doctors nurses incompetent staff and lazy social worker to overlook them, and be sure that any packages clothing monies wheel chairs will be stolen and only take them here if you want them to move your loss of limb loved one to never receive physical therapy and to be moved to be another room unexpectedly! You should also make sure your loved one has access to cell phone or landline to call 911 and only bring them here if you are positive that you most likely do not ever want your loved one to improve and not see them ever again!!
Words can't describe how horrible this place is. My mother was in here for rehab to be able to come home. The first call I received was from billing and all they were concerned with was whether she had Medicare and could qualify for long term care. I told the lady that the plan was for her to come home. It was like she didn't hear me. My mother received no rehab whatsoever. They left her in bed all day. One day I stopped by after work around 6:30pm. She hadn't been changed all day. Apparently they only had 2 nurses on staff. Another time this male patient was lurking around the rooms, and they had her door open, and no one seemed concerned. To top it all off, one of the nurses rolled my mother out of the bed while changing her, and she split her forehead open. She went to the hospital, and we told them not to release her to them. We got up the next morning to find that they got her transported back to center without our knowledge. Thankfully she ended up having to go to UMMC az a result of the fall and we finally got her out of there. Do not send a loved one here. All they want is to slap them in a bed and collect the Medicare. Horrible horrible horrible!!!!!
Strongly discouraged. Last mothers Day, they only had one person responsible for over 20 patients. They left my mom in bed all day, refusing to move her. As a result of the lack of care, she died from bedsores resulting from her time in this Healthcare facility. Some staff felt they had the right to treat her badly due to her being fully dependent upon them for feeding and all her other daily needs. Finally, when my family and I volunteered there last Christmas, staff stood around and did very little to help patients until I expressed my frustration. Most staff genuinely don't care about the residents there. I do not recommend this facility for anyone.
Administrator lies to you. He is very fake.. The food is very low grade. The food is so bad every visitor brings food. I wouldn't send your loved one to this place. They don't keep supplies to care for the residents. The pipes leek in the shower rooms an u can only get showers 2 times a week. They are under staffed so the GnA have over 20 patients an they are overworked an underpaid.
I want to say it was a long stay due to some personal things my Social Services Director made it her business to help achieve my dream of being in the community. She worked hard with my waiver team to ensure my discharge was done properly and smoothly. Chantell and her team goes above and beyond to make the residents needs are met. My nurses provided me with exceptional care and my attending was great. Thank you for all of the care and support through the years. I am forever grateful.
