My husband was here for rehabilitation and care for about 1 month. He was treated with great care and patience and kindness. The staff and and nurses and doctor were very helpful and answered all my questions and my husband's questions. And the rehab facility was very patient as they put up with alot of push back from my husband during the beginning of his stay here. He rehabilitated well in the end. Yes the building is old and does have peeling paint and may look worn by age but I found that those things had no bearing on his level of care. He has continued with his dialysis here and everyone is pleasant and kind. I hope everyone who chooses this facility for their loved one's rehabilitation needs has as good an experience as we did. God Bless... I almost forgot to mention that the grounds are beautiful. We were outside a great deal of the time in between activities. We enjoyed the view and peaceful setting. Looking out over the water and the woodsy inviting atmosphere.

They don’t even deserve 1 star. The place is filthy. Looks more like a mental institution than a hospice facility. Nurses are RUDE and NASTY. If you care about your loved ones at all for their final days DO NOT send them here! Pictures just sitting against a wall in a patients room, paint peeling on the doors. The smell is horrible. Patient bathrooms are absolutely DISGUSTING and extremely unsanitary. If you try to say anything the staff is doing wrong or corrupt they will try to argue with and fight you and their administration is just as crooked. Your loved ones will NOT be comfortable or cared for in their dying days. To promote this horrendous facility in hospitals is a complete disgrace. They lie and try to manipulate family into believing their facility is and I quote “extremely nice” and the staff is “amazing and caring” all of which is a complete LIE. Even calling them horrible is an understatement. DO NOT SUBJECT YOUR DYING LOVED ONES TO THEIR HORRENDOUS FACILITY !!!

Deer's Head is amazing & has a wonderful nursing stuff. They took great care of my dad. The nurses where there for my mom,brother and I when my dad passed away after being in their care for almost 30 mos. Some of the nurses even called my mom to check in on her to see how she's doing. I have nothing but great things to say about them.
