Health Central Park

Concerned Daughter

Don't be mesmerized by the smoke and mirrors, i.e. bunnies, cats, turtles, etc. I regret putting my mother in Health Central Park. First, they wanted my mom to be put on a DNR. That is mine and my mom's decision to make, not theirs. I recommend the DNR only if the patient is terminal. Health Central Park wants all of the long term patients to be put on the DNR. I believe Health Central Park uses the DNR to give less care to the patient. If your loved one needs to go to the hospital while living there, make absolutely sure that they are taken. Do not let them tell you that your loved one does not need to go to the hospital. They try not to send anyone to the hospital. Next, whenever your loved one is diagnosed with something, ask for a second opinion from a medical professional that is not connected to the facility. Next, you must make sure that your loved one is treated for any infections that might occur. Such as a UTI(Urinary Tract Infection), or any other types of infections. A UTI infection can make a patient have personality changes. A real doctor will confirm this but the nursing home will not. The nursing home will chalk this up to dementia. Dementia is a catch all diagnosis that they throw around for everything and use for an excuse to not test and subsequently not treat the infections because it was not confirmed by a proper test. The facility is penalized if they have too many UTI's, bedsores, rashes, hospital trips, etc. I believe that the facility would rather the patient die than have too many hospitalizations, reports of infections, etc. Do not bother making a report to the facility if there are problems or complaints to be made. I believe that they just throw them away. Instead, call the police and make a report with an officer. I could go on forever about the neglect this place gets away with on a daily basis. They did not want to help her with her meals even after she was declared blind. She got fingernail fungus as a result of eating with her hands and my husband had to point this out to them. They were oblivious. They would not answer the call button, or they would claim you pressed the wrong button. I had to cut my mom's fingernails because they would not do it. I wonder about the other patients in the home because not everyone had visitors. One patient told me that she just chewed her nails when they became too long. Please help me make this place either shut down or reform.

This rehab us the best in the entire state. My husband has been in 3 during this past year. This one is fully staffed, day and night, with professional and very compassionate people. They treat patients like members of their own family. The food is better than most restaurants. They as also have 2 resident cats who love being petted. If I ever need a rehab myself, this is where I will go.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS FACILITY! Our experience has been just awful. These nurses do not come in the room when you push the button. If you push the button too much...they will unplug it. They will also make comments about what you are watching and they definitely don't like Trump. Lots of issues with getting the correct medication. Extremely unethical and unprofessional practice.

Definitely a five star facility!

My mother was there both for rehab and for long term care. This place is a place of love and caring. My mother eventually passed away. The care given both during her living there and during her death process was a blessing from God. I was there throughout the nights and watched the care and attention to the residents. It was terrific. The residents are constantly changed. Bedding is constantly renewed. The infirm are constantly moved and watched over . Many of the CNA's and Nurses love God and serve Him there. My wife and I now go and visit folks weekly and everyone is friendly and kind. There is no better place for a parent or loved one. We personally know the staff there and they truly care!

My friend was sent here for rehab after breaking her wrist. She so appreciated the wonderful care, friendly staff, clean and fresh smelling facility, food served in the dining room or in her room , beautiful grounds, daily activities, chance to watch the bunnies, or turtles in their outdoor habitats, and ice cream socials (delightful to share w visitors), that she chose to become a permanent resident after her break healed!! That was a year ago and she still loves it:)
