My elderly father spent 10 days at this facility following a hospitalization for broken ribs…read more Prior to his transfer to the facility, he could walk short distances with a walker and was able to go to the restroom on his own without supervision. PT at the hospital also had him up and walking daily to support his strength and mobility. Upon intake, this facility immediately labeled my father a fall risk and he was not allowed to use the restroom on his own or to get up out of bed at all. He was forced to wear a diaper and soil himself and his bed because no one had time to help him to the restroom. When he asked a staff member to help him to the restroom, he heard a senior staff member tell her to "Just let them go in their diapers and change them. It takes too much time to help them to the bathroom." As for "rehab", my father received PT for 30 minutes on four of the 10 days he was there. When he started to experience drops in blood pressure when standing, PT simply quit working with him instead of working with him while he was seated or lying down. He spent the remaining six days lying in bed losing muscle mass. Appallingly, in 10 days he was not given a shower and he was never allowed to brush or floss his teeth. Proper topical medications were not applied to his skin, so it is now dry, peeling, and covered with plaques. Additionally, because my father has celiac disease and is allergic to wheat, he needs a gluten free diet. At this facility, that meant he was given two hard boiled eggs and a strip of bacon for both breakfast and lunch with a plain piece of chicken and mushy canned vegetables for dinner. He was given only room temperature water to drink. In 10 days, he lost 30 lbs from not being properly fed and not receiving PT. For the duration of his stay, I attempted to contact members of his "care" team - nurse, doctor, PT - multiple times daily. I never received return calls. The only staff member who communicated with me regularly was the unit manager, Esther, who is lovely human. Unfortunately, she is in the unfavorable position of trying to cover for everyone who is not doing their jobs well. Terri and Kevin, the CNAs, are also fantastic humans. Ironically, once I informed the facility that I was pulling him out due to poor care, every single member of his "care" team called me within an hour to discourage that decision. When I finally realized that my father was being horribly neglected and pulled him out of this facility on day 11 (against their "advice"), my father was so weak he was unable to stand up or walk on his own. He was dehydrated and malnourished, requiring IV fluids the same day I picked him up. The discharge paperwork I was provided contained multiple inaccuracies regarding his medical conditions and was riddled with misspellings. I was not provided with a referral for in-home PT, despite multiple requests, and my father never received the shower chair and rollator walker that were billed to his insurance. Surely, on some level, this must be considered fraudulent. Sadly, it is clear that this facility only wants to collect funds and not be bothered by the patients or deal with the families. I shudder to think what would have happened if we were not in the position to provide this care for him. Moreover; the fact that this facility was receiving funds from insurance and Medicare while failing to deliver treatment to my father is quite clearly insurance fraud. If you need to place a loved one in a rehab facility and you have the luxury of time, please do your research. While most facilities are facing understaffing, there are many that still provide excellent care. This facility is by far the worst that my father has been in and I do not recommend it to anyone. The name is misleading, as our overall experience has been one that does NOT inspire.

The Inspire Rehab facility is a sham and I feel very sorry for anyone who lives there…read more The staff is without a doubt the worst staff I have ever seen. They are rude, aggressive and dangerous. How do I know this? I live just next to this facility and I see these staff members. They take breaks and drink alcohol, smoke weed and probably partake in other sorts of illicit drugs. THEN THEY GO BACK TO WORK AND TAKE CARE OF THE RESIDENTS! They drop their trash on the ground including biologic hazardous trash! I have engaged Inspire management several times regarding these problems. Never once have I ever felt like management cared to hear what I have to say and never once did anything ever change. The interior of Inspire is dirty, old and unkempt. If you have any option at all, do not get sent to Inspire and do not let your friends or family get sent there.

This started with a 3 fusion neck spine, Inova Alexandria Hospital then Inova Mount Vernon (IMV)…read morethen Alexandria Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center (ARHC). At IMV I had one-on-one with PT (physical therapy), OT (occupational therapy) and SLP (speech language pathology) therapies, eight days, 21 hours. If I am wrong and the first day did not have any therapies then there were "only" 18 hours. That is real rehabilitation. ARHC is not rehabilitation. There were seven full days, the first was Friday and and absolutely no therapy on that Friday. All ARHC therapies are half hours. l add two more just to help things so there are better; that's 4 hours. To make it "fair" I'll chop off one IMV day to get them equal; that's 15 hours. ARHC is 27% compared for the same numbers of days. Rehabilitation? At ARHC I do not know if there is any SLP at ARHC; I did not get any SLP. The PT and OT staff are pretty good but have an environment not easy. Most have two or some even have more than two patients and few patients are just sitting on a chair. The "gym" is small and and the equipment very few, not good. Two exercise bicycles, a new one where the hand bar and pedals have no connection, strange and never to use again. An older and much better but the LEDs all gone so the therapy used their cell phone and tells a few things while someone else is doing something slow and more time. Most of the time were with 3 pound dumbballs, watched and counted but after twice done almost alone. The balance board was also good with the therapy placed to catch if I stumbled or let me between two rails. I've had bowel problems. That cause was not the ARHC staff. The problem was that after the mess it took more than 10 minutes to not get help with the red button. There were about 30 feet from my door with about four staff were chatting real loud (if not screaming) and I left my door not wearing any pants going to the other end to the desk at the hall end. Someone caught me real fast (not physical) and got back to fix it. That helped clean me up but it took more than a day to get the toilet and floor "reasonably" clean but not really clean. The food was the worst I have ever had. To be honest I am very picky and that does not mean that I what I like is what most people do like. But how could every patient get exactly the same thing that every one gets? How well do almost everyone think cooked food that is barely warm is OK. Some do actually have warm parts, but only in the middle and bottom on the plate, or you learn that you can get your plate heated in the microwave with those who bring and take the food. I like oatmeal cereal, when I cook it as the box says and use some milk and sugar. I tried them several times and spit them out. They were mostly cool not warm, sticky, tasteless, some lumpy, other times ground to nothing. I like scrambled eggs; these were OK and I ate all even if not warm. I ate about 20% of what I was willing the entire time I was there. The last full day I had a dizzy like never before and they put me in a wheelchair. They use a cuff and my heart was about 80/50 or 50/80. They sort of said I needed to eat if I wanted to live. I think that's enough. george.shaffer@comcast.net

I was so impressed with the renovations they have done! I went in there about 4-5 years ago to…read morefind a place for my elderly father. It was, and I am always honest, awful! So, when my father had to be out there after his stroke for subacute care...I was worried. HOWEVER...I WAS SO INCREDIBLY PLEASED WITH WHAT I WALKED INTO THE SECOND TIME! The entry hall is lovely and clean, the room my father is in looks great. The door on the bathroom clearly wasn't renovated, but I don't mind because the rest of the place is WONDERFUL! My dad used to live over at a similar place on Thomas Circle. Initially, I was impressed with it, but then it kept getting worse and worse. Elevators and AC weren't ever working, leaks weren't taken care of, my dads dryer wasn't locked down into his washer (so it won't fall) and it has almost fallen on him (and my son and me) on several occasions. They definitely overcharge for the service he gets over near Thomas Circle, which is a darn shame. I had so many hopes for that place, so it makes me sad. That's why I can tell you with all certainty I WISH I had put my father at Forest Hills! Had I known they were going to be renovated I would have jumped at the opportunity because everyone who works there is so lovely. I will say this...IN SHORT: I am so happy with what Forest Hills has done for my father so far. Everyone who works there is patient, kind, and loving. You can tell when someone likes their job--and from what I can tell everyone who works at Forest Hills must love it because they make everyone who lives there happy! :0) (The ONLY reason I don't give Forest Hills 5 stars is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get in touch with anyone who works there. Also, I have been given incorrect emails from staff...BUT, once you get in touch with someone THEY ARE GREAT!!)

A dear friend was admitted with several issues. The facility is typical of most rehab/nursing…read morehomes. They are understaffed. However we saw three nursing students sitting at a nursing station desk. When I asked for assistance setting brakes on my friend's wheelchair, they didn't know how to set them and didn't offer help. Motivated students could help ease the workload of the nurses. The nursing home has guests check in and wear a mask. The greeting staff was nice. There is a chapel off of the main lobby. Each floor is different. The floor we visited had a small dining room, activity room and social room. If you wanted to visit inside the room, you had to drag a chair from the hallway. The floor and rooms were incredibly hot. The bed was changed and monitored. Other areas of the room needed attention. The trash cans were full. If one trash can wasn't getting noticed, I don't see how having three in the bathroom and bedroom would be practical. A patient was left in the hallway. She was crying out from time to time. No one was checking on her. It was disheartening to watch. The patients can't have rails on the beds. My friend is 90. She falls out of bed. The solution is to have a tiny pad on the floor. It isn't sufficient. I don't know enough about other facilities in the DMV to compare. Having a chapel isn't enough to sustain a quality visit. If you don't have visitors or a family advocate, the patient will be lonely. If mobility is a problem, the patient won't be able to get to an activity room. Practicing medicine and practicing billing are two separate things. Saving money by cutting staff means patient care will be lacking. Those three nursing students could have been comforting patients, visiting with them and even helping change beds or empty trash cans. I see that each review gets the same comment copied & pasted. The time could be more efficiently spent by teaching everyone how to show visitors how to set brakes on a wheelchair.

The Physical Therapist was wonderful. I take no issue with her or the treatment she provided. 2.) I went three times and each time was 45 minutes or less. I paid my copay when leaving each time (100$) 3.) Each session was basic exercises that I should do. I did not receive needling, massage, or any hands on treatment. I was all demonstrating exercises. 4.) A month or so after my last appointment I received the bill. 1,800$. Minus my copay and what BCBS was willing to pay for in-network service, I am being invoiced $1,000+-. 5.) This is triple what an expensive PT session costs elsewhere. 6.) I called the billing department and they sent me paperwork that didn't agree with the BCBS Explanation of Benefits. I tried calling the head of billing to see why it was so high. I checked their website but didn't see anything about billing amounts or questions. I called the patient advocate who recommended calling the head of the department and gave me the contact. The contact no longer worked with MedStar and the person I eventually found said that they charge by the exercise in 15 minute increments. BY THE EXERCISE? I asked her to check. Never heard back.
