Capitol Hill Healthcare Center

I went to visit a friend in Capitol Hill Healthcare Center. It was a good experience. The staff was very friendly. When they were handling my friend and doing things for her, they were very gentle, and they seemed very patient and fun. She was there for rehabilitation for maybe three months after a surgery. She actually enjoyed her time there, and she liked the people. The facility was clean visually, but it smelled. Being closed in, you could smell the food cooking from the kitchen, and it smelled of cleaning products, so it was unpleasant to me. I got used to it after being there a little while, but it smelled. There were two wings shaped like a U, and there was a courtyard in the middle where the people could go. The building was older, but it was very well maintained and clean, and the people had the option of watching TV, playing games, or having tea on the courtyard, so it was nice.

My husband is in Capitol Hill. It's clean and he's clean, and I haven't had any problems. The people I came in contact with who work with him do a good job. There's a nursing shortage, but I'm pleased with the care and the service. He is on a pureed diet, and they're trying to get physical therapy with him even though some days he will and some days he won't. They have religious services, and they take him to those and have group activities, too. He hasn't tried to get out of bed and walk by himself. They're always there working with him to the fullest and will let me know right away if anything happens. I'm pleased with their work.
