My mother is currently in Carriage Hill Health and Rehab Center.They're pretty good. The layout's good, they have different areas for different conditions of people. The room seems to be fine, and the cleanliness is fine. The problem is the people. The food is terrible, according to my mother, and because she's supposed to be on a very low-fat diet, but they don't keep track of any of that. She has to do it herself. They bring her food, and she just can't eat it. So I have to take her food now and then. The staffing people, some are very good and some are not good. They argue, they talk back, they yell, and they get mad if things aren't done their way. If you ring a bell for help, they have that light flashing in the hallway, and it could take forever for someone to show up because I think they're understaffed. And I don't think some of the people working there have the proper temperament. There was one girl working there, and my mother's roommate was trying to teach her how to read, and I'm like, "How can you get a job somewhere where you can't read and you have to know?" Well, I guess she wasn't a nurse, so she didn't have to worry about medicine or other stuff, but she could help with other things. It is very hard to find someone, especially in the early evenings to come help or do anything. They'll say they'll be there and then they don't show up. My mother wants a shower because the hot water feels good, and they get lazy and they just want to give her a bed bath. And even though she was scheduled for a shower, she wasn't getting that for a while. I had to complain to the director about one of the nurses. My mother could not remember her name. She has a problem with names and dates. She called me at 11:00 pm in tears one day, I had seen her and my son and his family also came, and I left around 430. My mother is very tired after a visit from all of us. They had put her in a wheelchair so we could go out of her room to all visit. I specifically asked the nurse, could you please put her back in bed? She needs to rest. She cannot sit in a wheelchair for too long because she tends to accumulate fluid, and then she can't breathe if it accumulates around her lungs, or in her heart. She has congestive heart failure. She didn't get into bed till 11:00 pm. Someone came in to give her dinner around 5:30 and she mentioned again when she finished, can she please get in bed? And they still didn't come to put her in bed. It's hard to get the job done there, nothing's consistent. And we've had problems because we all know that she was gaining water- weight. Her legs got so swollen, that they could barely fit in her pants, and they were keeping her up in the wheelchair way too long and she needed to have her feet propped up. And I kept saying, this is what her weight is supposed to be, because every day before she moved there for an entire year and a half, she'd have to weigh herself. They make excuses, of how her weight could vary because of this or that. And they kept saying, "oh, she's fine." And we're like, "no, she's going to the hospital." By the time she got to the hospital (we insisted she go), she was gaining 14 lbs of water- weight that they had to try and take off of her and get away from her lungs, and stick the needle in and try to aspirate everything out because the Lasix and everything weren't working enough. They have two or three activities scheduled every day. The problem is where they have the list signed up, in my mother's room she can't read them, and none of the staff tell her to go. So she's stuck a lot of times.

My Mom was here for a rehab stay during COVID. She was not cared for properly and relied on phone calls to me to handle various problems with the administrators. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit her in her room during the pandemic to observe what was going on. She was left lying in her bed most of the day until I suggested she sit in a wheelchair to move her muscles btwn physical therapy appointments which were infrequent. On top of various problems with her physical therapy, medications, inadequate meals, her laundry was mishandled and some of her clothes missing. If the case manager at MWHC recommends this place again after another hospital stay, I will demand that she rehab at home. I DO NOT recommend this facility.

My husband was in Carriage Hill Health and Rehab Center after a stroke. At that point he just wanted to come home, and he didn't really say anything. I went there every day and they gave him good care and good therapy, and the meals were very good. They treated him very well there. The staff was great. They were very good, very professional, and caring. I was happy with them. They had a lot of patients per nurse, and it would be nice if they had more nurses or CNAs available.

Rooms set up is not good. One person has to sleep by window. Snakes come in from out back if you sleep near out back door. Some resident have new tv and some have old. Cleaners leave room floor dirty under bed or under sink in room. Sometimes room stink into hallway. Some staff nice and will work hard. Some lazy and sly. Residents have a lot of activity but if they don't go no one go to room to see if they want to go. If resident don't go to meal they get cold food and no one worry if they don't eat or don't eat. Food might taste good but maybe not health for some people on different diet plan because of health. Our uncle was in same clothes for two days and no one care. His clothes in closet have other resident name and no one care. Some of his clothes missing and no one care. Some medicine given is not needed. A lot of resident die at this place I think. Chec for self.

This place is horrific! The only time my Dad got attention is when he got very agitated or we visited. He never had clean clothes on and we could never find clean clothes in his closet. He was unable to feed himself but they didn't help him eat. We're counting the seconds until we get him moved.

My mother-in-law was in Carriage Hill Health and Rehab, and they did everything fine. The nursing was great, and they were very supportive and attentive. Everything there was nice and clean. She mainly did rehab. They have very clean facilities and honest people.

I’ve had a tour of Carriage Hill Health and Rehab Center, and met some of the staff. We’re very happy with what we saw and actually my husband is on a waiting list there. I would feel comfortable putting him in long-term care there. The room size is adequate. It’s a brighter, more welcoming facility than some of them. I only met a limited number of staff members and had a tour, but it’s enough that we do definitely feel comfortable having him on a waiting list there. I saw a calendar of activities posted but it was just a walk through tour, so I don’t really know. There definitely were activities. They had a very large room in the center of the wing with oversized, comfortable-looking couches and chairs and a big-screen TV. I know there was a bookshelf in that area, and a separate dining area, which was very nice. It was bright and cheerful and appeared to be more than adequate, but I only was on a walking tour.
