Wedgwood Gardens is the perfect place for specialized care, when treatment is required for your family and loved ones. In addition to offering social activities for patients, Wedgwood Gardens provides therapeutic psychological counseling and physical therapy as well. In addition, Nurse Lily, Jayson, both Chelseas, Mike, Chris, the Doctors, the entire staff of the physical therapy unit , and so many others, all provide the very best of care to their patients and are clearly devoted to their professions. I am very grateful to all of them for the care they have given to me, and appreciate their support to help me return to living a healthy and happy life.

Everyone is very nice but I would like to be left alone. I'm only here to get IV medicine twice a day but certain people might think I'm like 90 years old, asking me constantly if I need wheelchairs, asking me constantly if I need physical therapy.. I am independent I'm walking around the hallways several times a day. Recently I was trying to take a nap but every 15 minutes somebody would come to see how I was doing. . If I wanted help I would call the call bell. Or walk down to the front desk.... I don't deal with social workers either none of anybody's business about my home life. Just here to get meds, not to be badgered Update. About 230 today I wanted to take a nap but noticed my sheets and blankets were dirty . I paged and eventually someone came in and threw just one blanket on a chair .not changing sheets or bringing anything else then someone told me they can only change the sheets when someone takes a shower. No one even told me we have showers here....p anyway it is now an hour and 45 minutes later. And still have not received fresh and sheets and blankets . There is a lot of " we will get someone" but not any doing around here. So much for my nap. At 6:30 Thursday morning, while I was in a REM sleep , an aid rushed into my room just to give me water which I already hadv three of already.. so 15 minutes later when I was dozing off again I was in a bad mood, to be walking up again to be asked if I needed help emptying out my nephrostomy tubes I have told about seven people that I can do it myself. . When the tech came in later on he told me that I refused to have the nurse look at my tubes. Which was a total lie. She never asked to look at it she only asked if I needed help emptying it. Monday update. For the second time they brought me lunch without bringing me a drink with it and bringing me the wrong side. They said they were out of it. It would be common sense instead of bringing no drink at all to ask if I wanted something different . I went down to the station and they got me different drinks fast enough , unlike the other day when the blond main person at the nurses station told me she texted the kitchen twice, rather than walking for getting someone to walk for 50 ft to get me a drink, and dressing for my salad. no joke I waited 45 minutes, unable to eat my food.. I mean if they don't have something, tell me, common courtesy Saturday update, things get dumber if possible. I asked if I could take a shower, which I have taken three times before by myself with no one in there. Lily tells me we don't shower on weekends here. And even if I did shower, I will need someone in there with me which I certainly didn't need the first three times.. ridiculous I could fall she said. yes and the ceiling could fall down on me. Finally I had enough of this nonsense, and grabbed my stuff and walk towards the shower. They let me in although that didn't stop Lily from opening the door and checking on me while I was showering. Very embarrassing, they have to stop treating me like I'm an invalid. Also, Lily, after assuring me that I will get out early on Sunday after my last IV in the morning she's now telling me that she has nothing to do with that and she won't be my nurse on Sunday morning And lastly, after Lily assured me that she would come in and change my nephrostomy bags before I left. No one ever did in a day later I ended up in the hospital need my bag exchanged because it was all wet and leaky. Which resort already started while I was at Wedgewood

Nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff at Wedgwood (shout out to Melanie and Debbie the Social Directors, Nurse Lily, Joanna, Ibrahim, Jessica and Chelsea; and sorry if I missed anyone). My mother-in-law recently received care at the facility after being hospitalized. Despite her continued decline due to age and illnesses leading to a move to hospice care, the entire staff consistently provided compassion, comfort and care while also displaying empathy towards our family. They provided regular updates on her condition and options on how to proceed with her on-going needs. They facilitated daily FaceTime calls so her family could talk with her each day since we couldn’t be there in person. We couldn’t have asked for more and highly recommend this rehabilitation facility.

Just sharing my experience in case there is anyone reading reviews as they may be looking for a place for their loved one. My grandfather was here for a couple weeks before he ended up back in the hospital. Each time I saw him he was covered in his food, his food and juice would be all over his shirt- literal chunks of food and his shirt would be soaking wet and he would have food stuck in his beard, this just tells me that no one helped feed him nor cared to at least clean him up after meals. I stayed with him for dinner when I was able to due to my work schedule and he very clearly could not eat on his own so I would help feed him and seeing him so messy made it clear no one was helping him eat which breaks my heart. Most of the staff came off very dismissive and uncaring for the people they should be caring for and it's very sad to see, a lot of them are walking around on their phones, talking amongst themselves, cursing a lot in their conversations out loud for people to hear, taking personal phone calls and FaceTime calls while roaming around the halls especially during lunch/dinner times. Out of all the staff members that I came across/saw, there were about 3 great nurses I met who actually seemed to care about the patients in the facility. Please think twice before choosing this home for your family members/loved ones.

The staff is exceptional!!! My Father was recently admitted to Wedgewood Gardens for a Rehabilitation stay. Making the decision to have my Father go into a facility or come home was not an easy choice for our family to make. But within 24hrs of my father being there we knew that our choice was going to benefit him. The Nursing team was caring, friendly and knowledgeable from the moment he was admitted. The therapy team provided my father with A+ rehabilitation. The encouragement, support and kindness that my father received truly made us know he was in good hands. Thank you to the staff for making sure that my father received great services.
