Cheswick Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, LLC

Cheswick Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, LLC is OK, but I don't see a lot going on there for the residents. I would hate to think of myself as having to live there. It's just not acceptable to me as far as the atmosphere. My sister is in skilled nursing there. She had a stroke and she's wheelchair-bound. Her whole dominant side is paralyzed. The facility looks fine. The staff is really good. They take good care of her physically, but as far as anything to do, it's boring and depressing. Every time I go to visit, she takes one bite of her meal and leaves the rest, and makes faces like it's not too good. It is very clean. They only have one elevator though, which bothers me because she's on the third floor and she's in a wheelchair. If there was a fire, how are they going to get everybody from the third floor and the second floor out with one elevator? That concerned me. With one elevator in the whole place and if it's out of service, they're stuck. I didn't like that at all. If you can do the steps, that's fine, but if you're in a wheelchair or have mobility problems, you're gonna die. The rest of it is fine. They have one big dayroom as soon as you go in with TVs and all. They also have a TV in their room. They had a few activities. I've been there once on the holidays when they had Christmas carols and a guy playing the guitar and playing Christmas carols, but I don't think there's much to do.

We don’t like anything about Consulate Health Care. The only reason that she is there right now is because of her doctor who has been with her for a long time and knows all about her health history and we liked him. We just wanted to try to keep her with him. They treat her not very good at all. There are a few nice people who actually seemed to care, but for the most part it's basically just for their paycheck. She's gotten some really horrible care. I want nothing more than to get her out of there and get her to a better place. She has been there for 9 years.

Or risk to your family member. Although my family member was only there a short time the affect it had on them will last. This building is a model for how not to do things. They are not only short on staff but supplies as well. Constantly have to borrow from one patient to treat another. They would even run out on things like clean linen and the supposed clean linen that was there would smell disgusting, as if it hadn't been washed. Then there is the food. Barely edible due to being horribly over-cooked. Constantly cold and could barely qualify as food. Greasy too! It should not be fed to anyone, but especially senior citizens. My family will not be returning to this horrible place! I would give it NO STARS if I could.
