To the staff of Bayview Rehabilitation, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding care my father Robert (June 2025) received during his stay in rehab. Your team professionalism, kindness and attention to detail were truly remarkable and made a difficult time more bearable for my dad and family. I also want to thank physical & occupational therapy staff, for all your work, helping my dad. The only complaint is dinner menu. Thank you we will use Bayview Rehabilitation again

My mother went in for rehab with a broken femur doctors plan anywhere between six and eight weeks of rehab. After seeing this facility in two weeks, I pulled my mom out of me immediately. I don’t know why they call themselves rehab. They may spend 20 minutes if that a day. The staff would have her laying in her own feces for extended periods of time. They put a catheter and they’re out of convenience. It took me a week to get him to pull it out and she ended up with an infection. The food was ridiculous. I’ll put in a photo of a dinner that was supposed to be a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato abyss soup. There is a few good nurses and staff that were very pleasant to be around and then they also have very nasty grumpy stuff that ignored problems and the buzzer. I wouldn’t let my dog stay in that facility.

Choosing a nursing or rehabilitation facility for an aging family, member can be a difficult and emotional decision. Especially when health and recovery or at stake my recent experience with my 90 year old mother who suffered from COPD exposed both the strengths and the shortcomings of such a facility a place where the people were nothing short of amazing, but where the medical attention fail heartbreakingly short, my mother was admitted to the facility following a hospital stay her goal simply to regain strength so she could safely return home The staff welcomed her warmly and treated her with genuine kindness. Their compassion impatience were evident offering reassurance during an uncertain and vulnerable time for family seeking a nurturing environment. This facility excelled at providing attentive, supervision and comfort, however as the days passed and preparations were made for her impending discharge, a grave issue surfaced one that no amount of kindness could counter balance just three days before she was scheduled to come home, I received a call at 1:16 AM. My mother had been rushed to the hospital. Doctors at East Carolina Medical Center quickly diagnosed her with double pneumonia a condition she did not have a entering the rehab facility. The attending physicians words were deeply troubling. With a simple stethoscope check, it was immediately clear that something was seriously wrong with my mother‘s lungs. This led me to question whether her respiratory health had been monitored at all during her time in rehab had her lungs been checked with the frequency and diligence required for someone with COPD was there a missed opportunity for early intervention and proper medical care The answer painfully seems to be yes, despite the facilities excellence as caretakers and companions the kind you want for your aging loved one if you simply needed a babysitter, there was a critical lapse when it came to medical oversight for families, considering a similar arrangement my advice Ensure that your loved ones medical needs will be addressed as thoroughly as their daily comfort. Do not assume that attentive staff in a warm environment guarantee proper medical care tragically my mother‘s battle with pneumonia was lost just six days after her transfer to the hospital her passing at Carolina E. Medical Center remains a stark reminder of the importance of combining kindness with clinical village While I am grateful for the compassion she received. I remain haunted by what might have been had her medical needs received the same attention in closing this facility may Shawn as a place of comfort and community but if you require skilled medical oversight for an elderly family member proceed with caution, advocate fiercely, ask questions and remain involved, compassion and companionship or essential, but they must be matched by capable and consistent medical care to truly safeguard

My husband went there from the hospital. He was bright and talkative. He went down rapidly when he went to Bayview. Day after day he sat in a darkened room in a chair with his head hanging, till I got there. There were dirty wet towels in the shower for three days. The food was always cold, while outside the door the help chatted. One day he didn't even get a meal. He had to ask for something. The food was so salty it was uneatable, while his legs were swelling. Never once did anyone even put their head in the room to see if he was ok. He is a 100% better since he has been home and I have been working with him, doing exercises and being mobile. I wouldn't wish that place on anyone.

This building is incredible! I have a very close family friend who was a rehab patient. The rehab staff took great care of him. I had the chance to talk with the DON a few times. She was always very polite. I can tell that she really loves her job. I saw the administrator walking around the building and talking with everyone. The receptionist always greeted me with a smile. There was never a smell and the room was kept clean. I would recommend this place for rehab to anyone.
