Community Care of Rutherford

My mother-in-law is in Community Care of Rutherford. It is an older facility, but the care is top notch. The food is very good. She loves the food. The rooms are small and plain. They have activities, but I don't know what they are. They have a sitting area, a game room, and rehab. The staff is very caring, patient, and knowledgeable.

My father was in this facility for less than 2 months where I observed the following: the facility was somewhat clean, but not pristine. The rooms were from the 1950's and not handicap equipped for patients with mobility issues. The staff were allowed to excessively medicate the patients to reduce one on one care which was enforced by the staff physicians. When we objected to this practice, the facility terminated our affiliation by trying to have my father committed to a physiatric facility. We went to Vanderbilt where he was declared sane, and found that some of his modified medications could develop dementia. We moved him to an assisted living facility and he spent his last 4 months in a loving enviorment. This app forced a minimum of one star, I would personally rate less than .005 of one star.

My dad was in Community Care of Rutherford County for two weeks for rehab from the hospital. I think the staff is very good; they were very caring. What we found was that the rooms were a little gloomy. Overall, the food was fine. I like all the therapists. The speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy were all excellent, really helped a lot. It was clean, no problem with sanitation.
