Blumenthal Nursing & Rehabilitation

Grateful for the kind care

My father stayed at this facility for about 3 weeks following an accident and surgery to his leg. The Facility itself was clean and well kept. The nursing and rehab staff were personable and friendly and provided the attention and care that my father required. The admin check in was painless and from the very beginning of his stay until the day we checked out, he had excellent care.

This place is appalling. Not a week goes by that my mother doesn't fall or sustain some sort of injury. She can't feed herself or walk and sometimes she gets taken to the tv room and is left for who knows how long. Very few of the staff help her and when she first went out there we got notices of delivery of three different types of heavy hospital-type equipment which was charged to her insurance. (Several thousand dollars.) Sometimes when we go she is lying in bed with spilled food all around her. This place is all she can afford and it isn't fit for animals, much less the elderly. She is there because I had a stroke and couldn't lift her and move her or do any of the things she requires. This is a nursing home mill and little else. I don't know how they remain open.

My grandmother stayed here, and it was horrific. I can't begin to imagine what she went through... There were multiple times she would be naked with only a diaper on and sitting in the main room because the nurse failed to dress her, they did not care at all about her health and failed to provide proper treatment meaning she had multiple hospital visits only after my mother would take her (the nurses refused to call for an ambulance or even get her treatment, one time even claiming that the hospital wasn't open on the weekend - oh please), and she seemed to stay in a state of confusion and would be very upset when there. When we moved her to a different home, she suddenly improved and became the happy and sweet woman I remembered. She also suffered from several falls and always seemed to have new bruises, but was too afraid to tell us what happened. Seeing some of the other reviews posted around about this place shows that it still hasn't changed one bit. People should be aware of what they are getting into here.

If you need a Skilled Nursing Center DO NOT go to Blumenthals. My Mom is there and had gotten more active over the past few months. She was finally talking to us and recognizing us when we came to visit. She got too active for the staff there so they started giving her morphine so she wouldn't be a bother. Every time I get the pain medicine canceled and she gets back to her normal self, they prescribe something else. She will be loopy like she has been drinking and when I question it the nurse says "She's not lethargic." She was so loopy one day that she was about to fall out of her wheelchair. We had to request that they put her in bed so she wouldn't get hurt. They do not have time for people that need attention. Stay far far away

My brother was at Blumenthal Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation. He was put there because he didn't want to go to hospice. He had other friends who were there. They had good food, and they had a lot of foreigners his age, but they had the system where they have to see the light outside your room, and that can be slow. I've heard comments from families that they're not too involved there. Overall and as far as cleanness, they were very clean, they seemed to keep up with the place very well, and the food was good. Communication wasn't always the best. We couldn't tell what was going on sometimes as far as they started off with his physical therapy, they stopped that without informing us, and later they just found out that it would not do him any good. They probably need to improve on response time and communication.

My mother feels like Blumenthal Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation is her home. She has one of the larger rooms there. I think the staff is doing an excellent job because she was in her mid-nineties when she went in because she had fallen and she went in for rehab. After she got there, she never once said anything about going back to her apartment, and she loves it over there. I think that they actually had extended her life the way that they take care of her. I don't think she would be alive today if she was living on her own. We love it. It is not that close to me, and it would be nice if she was closer. One of the things they could improve on is the housekeeping in the bathroom area, but other than that they keep the place very clean. Overall, I think that they are doing an excellent job, and she is in one of the better places around. It is not the cheapest, but I think they have extended her life.

Blumenthal Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation had a reputation for being one of the better ones in the area. I don't have anything but good things to say about them. I have no problem with the care that was given. My father was there for three months, and I felt like they looked after him. It was a nice clean place, they had decent food and decent activities, and he was well cared for. It is a good place. He was in a single room with a view outside and a nice courtyard outside. If you have to be in a nursing facility, this is a good one.

This facility is definitely one of the best in the area. The physical therapy department is incredible and our family member showed significant progress during their stay here. The new Administrator has made many positive changes to both the staff and the level of care, and I truly believe my father is in good hands. The nurses are knowledgeable, attentive, and the express the level of care you want your loved ones to be provided with.

I wish we had known not to put our family member in this place.He was left sitting for long periods of time in a wheelchair after coming out of hospital and still very sick.After being there for 3 days we insisted he be taken back to hospital on an ambulance.I think he would have died if we had left him there.
