Lexington Premier Nursing and Rehab

Tammy

My mother stayed at Lexington Premier and Rehab for 97 days following a diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. When she was admitted, she could not walk, she couldn't use her hands, had difficulty talking and many other issues. The therapy team along with the nursing staff showed patience, love and care for her during her stay. I was absolutely amazed at the progress that she made while she was there. She had a complete turn around and was able to walk out of the nursing home with full capabilities to live on her own again. Due to the expertise of the therapy team and the constant care that she was given by the staff, my mother got her life back. They did something that I did not think was possible. If you have a loved one in need of care, I wouldn't hesitate to take them to this facility. I couldn't be happier with them and their services.

My brother seems very happy at Lexington Premier Nursing and Rehab. He has a private room there and he's getting physical therapy every day. He's just improving by leaps and bounds. He was just laying in the bed at the other facility, dying, because they wouldn't help them do anything, but everything about Lexington Premier Nursing and Rehab is good. He's been well taken care of. The food's decent and again, he's getting a lot of physical and occupational therapy, and he's doing well there. It's clean and all the people that work there are nice and willing to help you with everything. They have little areas that you can sit around, like a conversation area with a cell phone, a TV, and stuff like that, if you want to get out of your room. I don't think they have any planned activities, but I've seen people in a certain area. One of the ladies had a birthday and she had balloons tied to her wheelchair, and people were out there with her during that. My brother's a picky eater, but I've seen the food when they bring it to him and stuff and I don't think it's bad. The facility is very nice. The room is big and it's got a dresser in there and a TV. It's like a bedroom.

Lexington premier needs to shut down. The people there are rude, rough on the patients and like leave them sit in poop for hours. Rooms are extremely cold, they lose your clothing, don't get your medicine when it is time. People that work there spends a lot of time outside smoking. Usually 10 people outside smoking instead of being with patients. Then they lie about insurance covering the stay. Nothing works. Bed had no railing, restroom toilet didn't flush right. No toilet paper, no blankets. No one bothered to give baths to patients or even clean the rooms

I like that Lexington Premier Nursing and Rehab is not overly expensive. It's reasonably priced. They've got rehab and nursing facilities there. The people seem to know what they're doing and they're friendly. It's not a fancy place, but it's clean, well-kept, and it's close. It's only about six miles from where I live. My mom is in a shared room. There are little curtains that you can pull around your bed if you want more privacy. There's a nice bathroom with the usual thing you can press if you have trouble, and each bed comes with a button that you can press. They've got an activities room and I've seen a little side room that has some tables in it. Each calendar month, they put it up on the wall that tells you what's going on each day. They have a lot of activities and just about anything you want. They play a lot of bingo, there are cards, board games, a main TV viewing area plus each room has its own TV. They have very, very nice people.

First off this review is for the Rehab part of Premier but I do have some insight from the nursing home as well. My grandmother was recently placed in Lex Premier's care for a 2 week stay while she continued antibiotics to fight off an infection and to gain strength. We were excited to find that the room she was in was clean and felt like she was in good hands. Going in she was still sick but able to walk around with a walker and generally was in good spirits. Over the next 5 days I saw a HUGE decline in her health, I would constantly ask staff what was going on and they told me she was weak from the hospital. My grandmother started talking out of her head like she had dementia, I mentioned this to staff and they told me this might be her new reality. I was very concerned for her but at each step I was being told to "trust the process." Fast forward to her final day at Lexington Premier, she is completely non verbal and bed bound. Her skin is greying and she is obviously in really bad shape and had her in diapers. I went to staff and asked how long she had been like this and they told me she was fine earlier (i don't know what earlier was but it was past lunch and she had no food in the room). I told them to immediately call 911 and get her back to the hospital, they treated me like I was overreacting but I insisted. Paramedics came and staff tells them the same, she was fine earlier. She was not, i doubt anyone even checked on her that day. I waited to leave this review to see how she fared after the hospital and now I am glad to report that she is fine. She told me that staff would come into her room and remove her call button in the night, she only remembers doing rehab once in 6 days, they didn't care if she ate or not. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU HERE. Staff just gossip in the halls or text on their phone. If you don't believe me, try going through the front door. It has a lock that doesn't work correctly and get ready to wait 10 minutes before an annoyed nurse decides to let you in. And when they do they just walk off, not interested in helping you. If you are looking for a good place to die, this is it. If you need rehab go ANYWHERE else, go home even, you'll be in much better shape. I know that this seems sensationalist but trust me, there's to much bad to leave in this review. This place doesn't deserve the single star I had to give it. DO NOT LET YOUR LOVED ONES STAY HERE!! I REPEAT, DO NOT LET YOUR LOVED ONES STAY HERE!! Decline if you get sent here and choose another place, the staff is only wasting time until they can go out back and smoke another cigarette.

Richmond Place Rehabilitation And Health Center was a nice place. My sister's room there was just like a hospital room with a hospital bed, she had a private bathroom. It was fine for what she needed. The staff built her a little custom walker that she could use. The service there was really good, like if you needed something they would work hard to get it. The community was fine.
