Alderson Convalescent Hospital

Caring family

The care is not great. A few of the staff are kind and compassionate but on the whole most seem rather dismissive to the patients, at times blatantly rude. The physical therapy department is a joke. They are not encouraging at all and if patient is difficult they do not want to work with them at all. The foot is overcooked and tasteless the trays are often delivered when the food is cold. Most of the “care conferences “ are just to serve a requirement of the state regulations, not an avenue to seek proper treatment modalities. It seems like this place is only a money making venue not a patient care facility. I would highly recommend seeking care elsewhere for a loved one if you can.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I was yelled at by the staff when asked about turning on the air conditioner because it was 85° inside and eventually I was told the person with the key to the thermostat box had already gone home for the day. The nurses assistant in charge raised his voice at me. He is clearly unstable and bitter and angry to work there. This place has no business being open and absolute disgrace. Do not ever consider coming here. Or sending your loved one here for that matter.!

My father was at Alderson Convalescent Hospital. They were very good for what he needed at the time. I can't complain about them. I have other extended family members who've been there before and are still there. My brother-in-law has been there for quite a while. It's a lot larger facility. They're about a 135- or 140-bed facility. They do memory care. It's more of a clinical setting and they do have hospice and long-term care as well. It's very expensive. He was there for two months. It's an older facility, but it was clean. They had pretty good food there. My father was pretty ill at the time, so he didn't eat a whole lot, but when he did get his appetite back, he liked it.

I would rate this facility with minus stars if I could. The CNAs are rough and rude to the residents. The food is disgusting including the watered-down Kool Aid that they pass off as juice. The facility is a maze of dark and depressing hallways lined with sad residents parked in wheelchairs. To call it a convalescent facility is a joke - nobody could get better here.

Have an aunt living at Alderson's. I've been in MANY care homes across CA and Oregon. Alderson's is by far the best I've experienced. All the employees are qualified, cheerful and attentive. Residents get the kindest treatment from everyone on staff. We were there, unannounced, for 3 days - at various times. We met the workers on every shift. A physically fit woman with dementia, my 87 yr old aunt is very active (literally running in the halls in her walker chair) and the staff are so wonderful as they keep up with her antics. She is very happy, and contented. They keep her - and every resident - extremely clean and well cared for. I wouldn't mind living there myself someday.

Hello, This is my experience with the visitation of Aldersons Convalescent Hospital. When i visted this place, it smelt terrible, and the lighting was very dim, i almost fell from how dark the facility was. Also, i noticed that the staff was not very nice to some of the people living there. It seemed as if they just did not care at all for the people when they asked for assistance to get up, or have things handed to them, which in my opinion is completely rude because they are being paid to help these people with their problems. Also, They place smelt extremely terrible, it smelt like feces, and the staff was just chatting with eachother, not really doing their jobs. It was a terrible experience i had on the way to fill out an application, and i felt terrible for the people that had to stay there.
