Marvin & Betty Danto Family Health Care Center

I would not recommended this place to my worst enemy. was only allowed in a wheel chair never allowed to transition to a walker. Left out in the Hallway for hours with nothing to do. Missed scheduled shower due to staff shortage. Catheter bad not emptied and spilled several times. Bed sheets dirty and not changed even after asking for days. I cant image the care someone gets who doesn't have family being their advocate

It has been a little more than 1 year since my mother in law (MIL) stayed here. When we first arrived, it was not where she wanted to be. I read through the reviews and see that most people who post, do so to complain. Being my first experience with this step in life, my advice to all is, DO NOT EXPECT the care to be that of a hospital. Things move a bit slower as you should expect. This is an OUTSTANDING rehab center with the same goals that we have. Get the patient back home. My MIL ended up being here close to 3 months. In this time, I had the pleasure of being by her side a lot. The staff became her friends. There are many that stick out in my head but all deserve a huge praise because they are a team. It really does take a special breed of people to offer this kind of care and I can't thank Danto's enough. Sure, I could complain about the food, or the fact that it took too long to get assistance to get my MIL to the restroom or.... These are all part of the situation. It is rehab where the staff to patient ratio is not that of a hospital. My MIL was on a Renal diet, that is pretty much YUK food to anyone. Be the support your loved one needs. Not the complainer that stresses your loved one out. I would choose Danto's again and will definitely recommend them all the same. GOD Bless the Danto's staff

In December 2016 I came into the facility with 2 broken knees from a ladder fall. They were very courteous and nice to me and helped my family to get acclimated to my condition. They did a great job on my physical and occupational therapy, and the staff continued to be very hospitable. I remained there approximately 2 months and was discharged home after I could again ambulate. I have no negative comments, and the only concern is the diet; it is a Jewish facility that adheres to orthodox dietary customs, so you have to be prepared to have a very limited diet. However, they did accommodate my family bringing me food and I actually lost weight and felt better on the restricted diet.

We found this place to be by far one of the cleanest and nicest nursing homes we looked into for my father in law. we were very happy with the attention and care he received here. The rehab program is excellent and got him walking again after a stroke. He raved about the food there. I think that was his favorite thing about his stay. We were eventually able to bring him to live with us.

The facility is old, outdated, and provide 2 per room. The food is fair but the place stinks along with the staff. I should know because I was a patient. This place should be remodeled but that probably won't get rid of the smell. They should rebuild from scratch.

They assessed my father-in-law at the hospital, were fully apprised of his condition, and told us the facility was right for him. He was supposed to be there for 100 days, until we found a permanent place for him. We toured the place and, except for their rooms containing outdated furniture and being handed a bunch of mismatched broken clotheshangers for storing his clothes, all seemed well. By the end of the first week, before he had even had a chance to settle in, they started complaining that they couldn't do anything for him. They reported that he was violent and self destructive. The truth was, they refused to work with him. They promised they would help him regain his baseline, but all they did was babysit him at the nurse's station. Day after day, they sat him in a wheelchair out there and ignored him. He has dementia, but he can play chess, he can play his harmonica, he can talk, he can understand what is read to him. But they treated him like he was a vegetable. They did no rehab with him, so he grew weaker and weaker and never regained his ability to walk. They continuously pressured us to get him out, which, after seeing that they refused to care for him, we were eager to do, as well. Remember... They were the ones who told us he was right for the place! We still don't understand why they turned on him. They also treated my mother-in-law with disdain and evasion. Finally, my husband was forced to make an unplanned trip back to MI to sort out this mess. When he got there, he found his father emaciated, like a prison camp victim, looking miserable and hopeless. The social worker, who was the only competent person there, helped us find a decent, caring facility. Now that my father-in-law is in proper care in a different facility, he is talking, regaining his strength, smiling, playing chess and harmonica. He has had no violent or self destructive episodes. In short, Danto is an awful, awful place. If you love your relative, please do not leave him or her there!

I would not recommend this place. The lady at the front desk seems to be bothered and annoyed when she has to answer the phone or let you in. She moves as slow as possible. When I toured they made the place seem amazing. As soon as my dad arrived it was clear it was quite the opposite. They do not respond to the call button. They are not very goood or understanding about giving medicines and things like that. My dad needs assistance to go to the bathroom and had to wait for hours before anyone came in his room to see why he has pushed his call light. Overall it has been very disappointing.

my mother was at the Marvin & Betty Danto facility, December 2015 thru January 2016, approximately 2 months. she is now petrified of going to any rehab facility. The attending care including most of staff were very unprofessional and mean spirited, whereas, in most cases, it took them 15 minuted up to half hour to attend her need. Also, the food was horrible. However, with all fairness, the actual physical therapy was good. In any event, attending care is most essential for the elderly and disabled, Bar none!
