Burlington Woods

This place is a nightmare for elders. My grandfather was brought to Burlington Woods after he had fallen out of bed and needed physical therapy following his stay at the hospital. We visited him everyday, and we were consistently met by rude and clueless staff. After having him there for about a week, he had to return to the hospital after his condition had drastically changed. He entered this place being able to speak, eat, and be aware of his surroundings. He left this place disoriented, unable to chew or swallow, and unable to speak. His roommate claimed that one night he had called for help for hours, and no one ever came to check on him. The staff seemed completely unaware of his condition, proving this place is understaffed not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of competency. We quickly brought him back to the hospital where they discovered bed sores and a list of other problems. He died within a few days, despite the hospital's efforts to save him. If you want your loved ones to receive care, don't bring them here. They might not survive it.

If housing your loved one in a barn is okay with you, then Burlington Woods is the place for you! Your loved one will be treated maybe one step above stray pets at the animal shelter. The administration has no concern at all for the patients and the nursing staff is not much better. They make you feel as if they are "put upon" for attending to a patient's needs. The place itself is drab, smelly, and unsanitary; no place for a recuperating human being. The food service is appalling; sometimes they deliver meals to patients without even providing utensils! Be advised to avoid this facility if at all possible!

It’s a horrible place my sister lived there for seven years and ended up going in the hospital had kidney failure septis she died she had beds sores that were so bad the doctor took pictures as soon as she arrived at the hospital when she got there She had a cut on her foot that the doctor could see her ligament we stop by after her death to get her for social security number for the funeral home financial girl pat never even came out from her office told the receptionist that she cant give us her number but never came out and gave her condolences DO not put your loved one there and less you watch them every day

My mom was at Burlington Woods for rehab, so I know that she is going to be fine there. Last time I visited was about a week ago. They have dialysis and arts and crafts. The staff was wonderful. I don't think they would do anything to hurt her. The place was clean.

Its just the worse place it smells terrible the hospital staff said many patients come here because of being neglected. My father was rushed to the hospital from B Woods and died hrs later. I hate this place. I pray for others that are stuck there.

This facility is the lowest of lows. I was unfortunately put there as a short term patient receiving physical therapy. The wing for short term/sub acute patients is closed causing the patients to be with long-term care and special medical needs patients. The facility is completely understaffed. Staff to patient ratio is definitely over the limit. Management/administration are barely present. Patients needs are sacrificed on a daily basis about 2-4 hours per shift. Management expects CNA staff to do the job of a kitchen/dietary staff. Nutritional standards are not even close to being met, they serve Kool-Aid with meals, use imitation products and serve insufficient amounts of food for patients. Patients are not even given a choice of what to eat. All this facility cares about is getting bodies in the building. If you truly care for your Family you will avoid this place at all costs.

From the moment you walk in the door you smell urine, feces and just plain funk. Hallways have big stains in the carpet . It is unfair that while I did encounter 1 nurse and 1 aide that was actually decient the rest were horrible. While the patients were waiting for their meals, the aide would stand up at the serving cart eating the patients food!! IF they are doing that with family present then GOD only knows what they are doing when no one is around. Unfortunately my father had to return to the hospital for something they neglected....he didn't return there !!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE THERE !!!
