    Highly rated rehab facility according to Medicare.gov. For the most part, folks are pretty nice here. They are, however, tightly staffed. (They do spent quite a bit of effort writing each other up for things. Perhaps that explains the high rating.) Our family requested a different skilled nursing facility when the opportunity arose. I was concerned my Dad's health was deteriorating and it was not being noticed. (My gut was correct. Stony Brook admitted him immediately for surgery when I requested a visit to the ER.) I worry what might have happened if I had not been sitting bedside. I would say this place is clean. The front staff really tries to help. The visiting space is nice. The activity/dining room large and brightly lit. They can forget to lower a bed to the lowest setting for high fall risk patients. They can forget to place gym mats next to the bed. Wifi network: Guest Username and password: bhguest If you're looking for a rehab facility just be aware tours are done during the calmest hours of the days. Never during a shift change or meal. The doors are locked firmly. If you're inside security will need to be summoned to let you out. (I suspect visiting a loved one during the night/early morning would be next to impossible. The front door did not open until 1 minute after the start of business. Here's the one experience I'll never forget: My Dad insisting he wanted to use the restroom. During a shift change. After waiting 20 something minutes to go he was ready. Chair alarm or not. Despite being situated right outside the nursing station - and the special dementia observation area - I was not able to find an aide to assist. Faced with the dilemma I helped my father to the bathroom. (A few days later I was chastised for doing this. Oook.) When there was a need to change his personal gown/garments I sought assistance again. Much - much later - the departing nurse thrust a clean gown as he sprinted off the floor. I cleaned up, changed, etc. And helped my Dad to bed. Eventually a maintenance man arrived to mop the floor. Afterwards it took effort to free myself from the facility. My elderly mother and aunt were standing outside in the cold waiting for me. This isn't my first choice for a parent, loved one, or myself.

    My sister and her brilliant CNA. The care is consistently this professional and adoring with grace and dignity.

    Both of my parents did rehab at Island Nursing. I would not recommend this facility…read more When a facility is unable to have sufficient staffing levels, it is impossible to provide care in a timely manner. (On one weekend all the aides called out for the overnight shift, so an aide was pulled from another unit to help. With 40 beds in Mom's rehab area, it was tough.) Aides should not have to hunt for supplies when preparing to change a patient. Large sized briefs, barrier cream and garbage bags should not be in short supply in a nursing facility. 95% of the employees here are good souls. Their heart are in the right place, they care about their patients and attempt to do the impossible. The kitchen team is incredible. They offer so many options to patients, produce delicious food and are incredibly responsive to requests. As someone who stayed with their loved one - leaving only to shower and briefly nap - I have the following recommendation to caregivers. - Keep a careful eye on prescribed medications - Visit frequently - Check skin integrity frequently - Engage with the dietician and ensure personnel delivering/recovering food are aware of current meal plan protocols. Dietician does not reach out to patient/family to inform them how things are supposed to work. You will need to ask. - The PT program is not a rigid structured time setup. It is effectively first come first serve. Which may result in the therapist who is familiar case being unavailable when the patient is available. - lack of visibility into prescribed medication as well as report of medications actually dispensed, needs significant improvements. Key personnel administering medication have experienced significant unexplained turnover, which is somewhat in step with facilities personnel charges at all positions. When Mom was last released from a hospital, our family opted to bring her directly home instead of risking another experience like the one at Island Nursing.

    I am reporting this place to the Dept of Health. My family member was here for a couple of weeks…read moreand I was so happy when they left. Calling for a nurse in this place is almost impossible. After many many attempts to get medicine on time it becomes an impossibility to find out why they don't respond. One nurse tried giving my family member the wrong medicine. Thank God they would ask about what they were being given. Their own nurse attended to wounds once every 3-4 days when their wound was to be taken care of 2x a day. This place is terrible and if you need rehab or nursing care, DO NOT GO HERE.

The conditions and treatment my mother was subjected to under your "subacute" care were not only negligent but, in my view, bordered on medical malpractice and predatory financial manipulation. I. Administrative Misrepresentation and Insurance Coercion Upon admission, I was pressured into transitioning my mother from her established UnitedHealthcare Dual Complete coverage to straight Medicare. I was assured this was a "procedural necessity" and that Chana from Thryve65 would seamlessly restore her original coverage. I now recognize this for what it is: a tactical maneuver to prioritize the facility's payment security over the patient's continuity of care. As of April 6, the promised restoration of her plan was denied, leaving us with an unauthorized AARP Medicare plan. This bait-and-switch regarding a vulnerable senior's insurance is legally and ethically reprehensible. II. Gross Negligence and Safety Violations Despite my mother being a documented high fall risk with dementia, the facility failed to provide the most basic safety equipment. Upon arrival, there were: * No bed alarms; * No guard rails; * No walker (denied under the guise of "waiting for assessment"). The suggestion that the facility's solution for a fall-risk patient was to "put a mattress on the floor" is a staggering admission of a lack of professional standards and a failure to provide a safe environment. III. Chemical Restraint and Medication Mismanagement Most disturbing was the unauthorized and aggressive sedation of my mother. In response to her "sundowning," the staff administered a cocktail of Ativan, a Haldol shot, and an additional 50 mg of Seroquel the following morning--the latter of which was not prescribed by her primary physician. I arrived to find my mother slumped over in a wheelchair, incapacitated by what can only be described as chemical restraint. Over-medicating a dementia patient to simplify staffing duties is a violation of patient rights and basic medical ethics. IV. Deplorable Sanitary Conditions and Staff Incompetence The facility is antiquated, filthy, and staffed by individuals who appear wholly untrained. I was forced to personally bathe my mother because the assigned aide was "new" and clearly inexperienced. My mother was left naked in a cold shower room with barely lukewarm water--an experience that was both humiliating and physically dangerous for a senior. Conclusion Medford MultiCare is a facility that masks its lack of care with administrative pressure and medical mismanagement. I wouldn't entrust the care of a dog to this institution, let alone a parent. Be advised that I am documenting these failures for a formal report to the New York State Department of Health and the Better Business Bureau. Your "care" is a joke; your staff is clueless; and your facility is a liability
