When the hospital gave me a list of places send my wife for end of life this place was the closest to my home and it had the lowest star's according to the list. But I had my wife sent there so I didn't have to drive a two to three hours round trip. From day one they took great care of her and the place was very clean and friendly. Don't let the star's fool you they were tops taking care of her and I thank them for that. J W slinsen

Where do I start with this place? First, good luck ever receiving a call or update on your loved one about any progress or decline. Upon being told that our father (after a heart attack at the hospital) would be wheelchair bound and need 24/7 memory care, we scrambled to find a place to move him into once we got notice that his insurance would no longer be covering skilled nursing. We were looking at $8k-$11k per month for the type of care that SH&R recommended according to the prognosis they gave him and the progress he supposedly was not making. Having been down this road before with my father, I asked if he could be weaned from a particular medication that causes confusion and memory issues, since in the past I had noticed once that medication was no longer administered, his memory seemed to improve drastically. The team at SH&R agreed, but claimed he was violent and beating people up so they did not attempt to wean him from the drug. Our father is a bit of a grumpy guy by nature, but he is not violent. With lack of options and such short notice of discharge, we made the decision to bring our dad back home and have family monitor/assist him until we could make other arrangements for permanent assisted living. At less than 24 hours of our father being home, he no longer needs a WHEELCHAIR OR A WALKER - nothing at all. He does not require bathroom, dressing, feeding or any significant assistance at all - just some friendly reminders as to when he needs to take his medication. Still has some slight memory issues, but seems to be improving significantly after 2.5 days home currently. I believe laziness was a huge part in keeping our dad medicated so he was one less person to "babysit". Absolutely disgusted with the treatment, or lack there of, that Shelton Health & Rehab provided. I would suggest finding your loved one a different skilled nursing home, this place is awful.

This facility like many SNFs struggled at times to adequately staff the nonskilled positions- especially on weekends. Periodically this resulted in less than desirable turnaround time when patients hit the call button. The nurses were attentive and the therapy team was very helpful and committed to my dads recovery. The social services staff took my father to appointments and the director of community/social services, who was very caring and knowledgeable, provided a direct channel of communication that was essential. The most serious gap was getting updates from the medical director directly and significant delays in referring this stroke victim to much needed inpatient rehab. Overall my dad received decent care and was able to transition to an ALF.

My brother is a patient at this facility. He is getting excellent care. Everyone is caring and friendly. Physical therapy people are excellent and seem to be knowledgeable. Special shout out to the sweet lady on the front desk. I am out of town and she is so kind and helpful every time I call for an update.

Short-handed on staff but they do provide service above and beyond. Rehab and inhouse residents would do best if separated, the needs are different from each other. The staff worked together as a team to help each other. One thing important to note, not of this facility's doing but due to government policies. Bedrails were removed from rehab beds. It is not only at this facility but many across the state. The bedrails are considered restraints. Those are needed to facilitate rehab patients to build up their own strength and heal at a quicker pace.
