7/21/21: My grandmother was transferred here from the hospital after an injury. I got some great reviews about this place, and she's been here before. So, I was comfortable about signing the paperwork for her rehab.
The first few times I came to visit, the front desk staff was extremely friendly & helpful. A few of the nurses were unprofessional & seemed to be more concerned about personal conversations, but I let that go. It wasn't until this evening that I really started having second thoughts.
I showed up around 6:30 pm to bring my grandmother some food & was met by this NASTY, RUDE switchboard operator/receptionist. Rude from the start, I TRIED to remain polite. She was short and her tone was negative & as if I was bothering her. I wanted to put the food in my grandmother's hands MYSELF! I don't know her or anyone else, so why would I trust them to handle her food?? I calmly explained how far I had driven to get there & asked how to get an exception to this 6 pm visiting hour timeframe. She abruptly told me to call her social worker. ???? She didn't even tell me who that was. She just kept doing what she was doing in between calling whoever she called to come pick the food up off the table she told me to leave it on. I just didn't like her attitude. People like this shouldn't be on the front line in customer service. Put her in the back somewhere where she doesn't have to be seen. This 1 interaction just changed the way I see this place. I was excited for my grandmother to be here for rehab. Now, not so much. I'm sure this is NOT her first complaint. People like her always get complained on, but she doesn't change because her job doesn't require her to. I tried HARD not to be rude in return, but I couldn't help it after awhile & told her a few things about herself. People like that make it impossible for a family to trust that their loved ones are safe away from them. My granny's cellphone doesn't have reception in this place nor does her room phone talk volume go up. It is extremely LOW, we can't hear each other, & there is no other way to communicate with her. It makes me feel like she's in a JAIL & not a rehab facility. I've left messages for everyone I could about this. If I don't hear back tomorrow, I'm looking to have her moved. I won't be prevented from seeing/speaking to her especially when their own admission documents state that visiting hours are 9 am - 9 pm. She could've allowed me to see her for a minute. Her nasty self just prevented it because she could. Let's hope we don't have to interact again. I won't be as nice next time.
Think twice about coming here if you value your freedom or expect professionalism. You will be disappointed.
7/22/21 Update: The owner & the boss of the nasty receptionist (Cassandra) called me today. They are trying to rectify the issues I had as well as reprimand her (I guess). The social worker, Kara, still hasn't called me back about the so-called special hours exemption, so I can't give them over 3 stars at this time. I appreciate these 2 gentleman immediately responding to my concerns though. I went to visit my granny this evening around 5:05 pm & the evil woman was there with another lady at the desk. She has a completely different attitude. Lol. I wonder why. Anyway, once I get all of my issues addressed, I will edit my review. Right now I'm changing my rating from 2 stars to 3. read more
