Recently, our 86-year old mother was a patient at this facility for 3-weeks. She had no idea that…read moreshe would be checking into a rehab after having shoulder surgery. To say that she did not want to be there is an understatement. The day we checked our mother in we met with many of the team members who would be in charge of our mother. They were all very nice. The facility itself was nice on the inside and outside. There is one team member that I would especially like to thank. His name is Joshua, and he is the Patient Advocate. He met with my siblings and myself along with our mother, the day she was checked in. During the meeting, he was very attentive to my mother which helped make her feel at ease. He listened to every concern we had for our mother. He took notes and followed through with all of the details and concerns that were discussed. Joshua is amazing at his job! He is professional and has a perfect personality to be an advocate. He is patient, understanding, kind, efficient, and very helpful. One day after a really hard physical therapy appointment, no staff members were able to help my mother be put back in her bed. She was miserable while she waited 15 minutes in a wheelchair. I text messaged Joshua and he was there within 5 minutes. I don't believe this is part of his job description. That is how helpful he is. He sweetly helped her back to her bed (they had to use a hoya to lift her in and out of bed). Next, he helped make sure she was clean and comfortable. This meant a lot to us as we watched him truly care for our mother. This is just one example of his kindness. Joshua was truly a life saver when our mother was there. If we could rate Joshua alone, he would receive 5 stars. He truly was wonderful. The problem we had was that the nurses and aides were understaffed. Our mother was fortunate because we were able to take turns to stay with her. The week I stayed with her, hours would pass with no nurse or aide to check on her. Even when the nurse call light was on, it would take at least an hour for someone to come into her room. One morning she was throwing up for over an hour. The aide was made aware of it. She said she would let the nurse know. No one ever came in that day to address the problem. There were other problems as well. It is our belief, that more nurses and staff need to be hired, if they want their patients to receive better care.

There are two TV lounge/activity rooms to enjoy playing cards or watching whatever you want on TV or movies. Being that food choices are cafeteria style I do add some ingredients to make it better but most people enjoy the food here very much. I just read the other reviews. I disagree with Sherry's review in terms of treatment and maintenance. Her review was from 4 years ago and upgrades have been made and I can attest to management and the care that is given here big first rate. My opinion is Sherry had exaggerated expectations. A number of improvements must have been made in the last 4 years as I find it comfortable safe and secure to be here. No it is not a five-star resort but for an assisted living facility which I've been to a few this one is nice. There is the definite difficulty with so many of us in our senior years that need to feel comfortable and well cared for and a paramount necessity for feeling safe.

If I could give negative stars I would. I'm posting this review for my 70 year old mother who…read morearrived at this facility post-injury and after leaving Banner Thunderbird. I would not recommend this facility. The response time for the call button for anything my mom needed was between 10-25 minutes, IF anyone ever came to help. The facility left a wheelchair in her room and allowed my mom to use it to wheel herself, unassisted, into the bathroom when she needed assistance with a walker to get strength in her leg after a hip surgery. I requested it be removed so my mom would have to use the walker to strengthen her leg and the wheelchair was never got removed. My mother could have been seriously injured. She said she needed to do it herself because no one ever came after she would click the assistance button. This is unacceptable for a "rehabilitation facility" and I use that term loosely. My mother is diabetic and I told 3 different people this information, including the social services dept., her direct nurse and the liaison before we arrived. She was given sugary food the entire time and high carb meals. We had to beg for a shower for her when she arrived and the employee that cared at all to ever help my mom was Susie, an aide. The nurses never smiled and spent more time joking and laughing at the nurses station than they did assisting patients. On any given visit when I arrived, there would be several (more than 5 lights lit up) patients needing assistance. Additionally, they were NEVER quiet at the station, even late into the night. The overall morale from the good employees was obviously very bad due to work load. We were told by one of these good employees that showers for patients are put off until she arrives. Upon leaving, I had to ask several times to get help getting her to the car, when Susie (the best employee there) offered to help. She was awesome. The other staff - AWFUL. In fact, when I left, paperwork with HIPPA info was inadvertently included in my mom's discharge papers. Wow. Do NOT allow your loved ones to be left alone at this facility. One reviewer said an investigation needs to be done on this place and I AGREE 100%.

I wasn't 100% into therapy because i didn't know what we were doing day to day. The room is nice because the bathroom is 100% accessible. My room was at the end of the hall; i often smelled smoke in my room coming inside from windows. There was a small refrigerator & microwave; however, the sign warned the fridge was just a cooler and not for storing perishables. I asked for tissues and never received them so when i was crying i blew my nose on my sheet. There was one CNA & Nurse on duty at night time. There was a man down the hall late one night asking "Is anyone there? Is anyone awake? Help."So after a while i pressed my red button and someone came to check on me. I asked for something silly like ice and asked if they heard this guy talking. The answer was no, (she was wearing one ear bud). She thanked me for letting her know. Housekeeping came to clean and vacuumed each day....that was nice. But the rooms have carpet and i wondered how they were sanitized. Universal Precautions used by staff are questionable. Breakfast was great and hot if you went to the dining room. Okay, in room. Dinner & lunch options were not very flavorful and there is a few combinations of veggies that they use in recipes. A few of the optional meal items were....okay. I ate lots of pasta (it was great!). I was pretty much stuck in bed and my room was untidy. I would have lots of styrofoam cups that built up. It was difficult to find ice packs and they didn't have the ones with the plastic bags inside. Each day i may or may not have known who my nurse or cna were or did i know the date. It took me a while to catch onto how things worked during 24 hours. Fresh i water was brought in at 3 or 4 am and then someone would come to do vitals. The Doctors that came to visit were kind and checked in on me.
