This is a HORRIBLE PLACE. RUN don't go there with your loved ones. I wouldn't even send my worse enemy there. My Mom was there for only 3 weeks with a wound vac. That they said they could take care of. DON'T BELIEVE THEM. On her visit to the doctor he said it now has MRSA. Sent her right to the ER and had to operate to save her leg. When I visited almost every other day she was not taken care. Once they put her in a wheelchair facing out of her room. She could not see the TV or ring if she needed help. IT WAS AWFUL AND THE WORST PART THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MONEY FOR HER CARE!! I SHOULD BE SUING THEM! She died less than 2 months later.

DO NOT TAKE ANYONE here if they are loved one. If you are trying to subject them to poor service, dirty dingy outdated very poorly cared for facility this is the place. Don't be fooled by the first conversation where they seem very nice organized and accommodating. You are left in the dark with zero info and when you get it is incorrect. We were told at discharge scripts would be called in to Walgreens in Pburg which I questioned and was assured there was one. 2 days later we have not received the call re meds and now have run around that it was called in to Clinton when I live no where near there. DO NOT SEND ANYONE THERE

The rooms are very small, with a foot or two in between the bed of roommate. One nurse's aide is very nice and shows compassion for my loved one. The fact that I can site kindness in only one employee reflects the sad environment here. My family and I need to request a shower and shampoo for our loved one, and feel lucky when that request is fulfilled once a week. When my relative needs help from staff it takes hours for a response. I can't recommend this facility and wish the family had resources to move her elsewhere. my advice, stay away.

HORRIBLE FACILITY!! My husband was there for what I thought was rehab and when he returned home, had the most horrendous bed sores that I was never informed about!! He had also lost much weight, probably due to the staff not having any patience to try and feed him! Plus, the staff knew that family members where not allowed in so what did they care? I work for a well-known doctor in the area and when patients ask me about the facility, I tell them about my experience and advise them to look into other facilities!! Do not send your loved ones here--no wonder they are always looking for help!!

Food is fair to poor. Long term staff are great. Weekend staff changes constantly and dont really care about residents. Residents aren't changed often enough and personal items like teeth, glasses, and hearing aids go missing and no one seems to know anything about it.

This place is horrible, understaffed, dirty and most of the time very smelly. Nurses were nice but couldn't keep up with the patients needs. Very depressing as it was in the basement. My Mom was there for two days and I moved her out! If your loved one goes there be prepared to bring your own tiolet paper, soap and tissues because they don't have any supplies!
