Swanton Valley Care and Rehabilitation Center

Do not leave your loved ones in this facility!! I wish my family had been warned. My grandmother was here for less than a week. The staff was incompetent, she was not cared for properly. My family's experience with Swanton Valley was truly a nightmare. If I can prevent anyone else from being hurt by these people, I hope this will help. They were very convincing that they had a great "5 star" facility, but we stayed with her as much as possible as we could see as soon as she was in there, it was not what they promised - Not even close! Unfortunately, we couldn't be there every minute. They gave her the wrong prescriptions, or didn't even have what she was prescribed to give her. The staff disregarded all of our concerns and questions, and treated us like we were overreacting when we were concerned about things that were or were not being done. If you care about your loved one's well being, find another facility, or better yet, look into home health care. Do NOT leave them at Swanton Valley!

Swanton Valley Center was an older nursing home. They had mostly semi-private rooms that were just separated by a curtain. If your loved one was in very advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and basically didn’t know where they were, they have a very secure locked-down unit, but it was a very tiered nursing home. The lady who took me around was very nice, and I met very few other staff. I didn’t see evidence of a lot of activities -- limited activities and limited amenities.
