It's a newer rehab/recovery facility on the south side.
We needed to admit my mom for a short 2 week stay.
I read about the facility after researching it a little. I had to pick a facility quickly because the hospital was releasing my mom from the hospital in less than 2 days.
The facility was rated a 5 out of 5 overall across the board in the info I was given from the case worker.
Our initial tour of the facility was pleasant enough, so we decided to place her there.
My mom's room was clean but very bare bones, as there was absolutely no decor. I don't know if that's standard,.....but OK.
It was a bit dismal. The bed wasn't the best quality either. It was basically 5 inches of memory foam. It did move up and down so a person could sit in it.
My mom seemed to like her therapists and the in-house doctor. They appeared to be attentive to her and that was real important to me.
There were pleasant and interesting activities posted and available to the patients and residents. My mom participated in a few activities they offered. She seemed to enjoy that social aspect/portion of her stay.
Most of everyone on staff that I encountered who worked there seemed cordial and professional enough.
I am docking the 5 star rating to a 4 solely because the food is absolutely sub par quality.
As a prime example, we had a terrible and quite shocking experience visiting once when we ate with my mom. They gave her two complimentary tickets for two free guest meals. She warned us about the food, but I thought that it surely cant be THAT bad.
It's got to be better than a grade school lunch or hospital food right? WRONG.
The service we received was really pathetic and lacking. We were treated very poorly.
The main server basically ignored us even though it's supposed to be like 'a nice restaurant type of dining experience'.
At the beginning, No one acknowledged us and I literally had to go over to the food counter area where I found three employees socializing. I was ignored for quite some time until I finally spoke up. They were very aware of me standing there. It was very rude, annoying and disturbing.
We had chicken tenders with a salad and a potato
tater tot cake wedge. The tenders were bland/average tasting and cold. The potato cakes were literally soaked and dripping with oil. It's like someone just poured grease over them before serving them. It was absolutely appalling and just so gross. They were completely inedible. The salad was not appealing either. It must have been sitting out, because it appeared to be mostly wilted. The dressings they offered us were sub standard. We were supposed to get another veggie side and a desert. We got neither, and had to ask for the dessert. We tried to get her attention because she didn't bother to check on us.
When she finally came over, she told us the kitchen was closed, and although very hesitant, she would go check. She came back with a few plates with some tiny pieces of substandard dry cake with hardly any icing on it.
I didn't eat mine, because at that point I was definitely disgusted and done.
I ended up bringing my mom occasional food from home since she wasn't on a restricted diet.
It was hard to think about her having to eat the swill food offered a majority of the time.
If we get a request for a proper review of the place, I will be sure to mention everything I mentioned in this review.
I would recommend them to anyone, but
I truly hope they improve the quality of the food offered to the residents. It's such a critical part of the equation. read more
