First.
The Nurses, Physicians, Nurses' Assistants, and Physical/Occupational Therapy people are wonderful!
They are caring and dedicated individuals.
Shout out to Paul, Melea, Fiorella, Michelle, and Mikkias in PT.
This one star review is directed to the unbelievable poor quality of the food.
If you like little packets of mayonaise, relish, and ketchup that contain 2 mysterious preservatives and high fructose corn syrup, this is the place for you.
At least, they are nearly impossible to open.
It's best to avoid them and learn to endure bland food.
Do you like plain Greek Yogurt?
Ask for it. Good luck!
Day after day, you'll get loaded-with-sugar flavored YAMI Yogurt.
Do you want poached eggs?
You'll receive eggs that are either hard boiled or barely cooked.
Oh yay! Fish and Chips is on the menu. It's mostly breading with a tiny piece of some mystery fish buried inside.
The "chips" are under-baked soggy frozen fries. Don't bother with the poison ketchup packets.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Yummoh!
You'll receive a soggy sandwich with one thin slice of processed cheese...a sad sandwich that was never near a grill.
Remember when you were in Elementary School and they foisted something named a Sloppy Joe on you...and you gagged just looking at it?
You'll get another opportunity to refuse one at Richmond Beach Rehab.
Chicken Caeser Salad is on the menu tonight. Yay!
You'll receive a plate of wilted, and black around the edges, lettuce...topped with cubes of cubes of bland chicken breast from a can. That's it...except for the little container of loaded-with-high fructose corn syrup Italian Dressing.
Your first Caesar Salad without croutons, Parmesan, nor Caesar Salad dressing.
"Way to go, Chef!"
It's not even close to a Caesar Salad.
Are you a vegetarian?
Your single choice for each day of the week is going to be the exact same dish. I'm not kidding!
For example, you get to enjoy Eggplant Parmesan everyday. A dream come true, right!
It's an under-baked eggplant cut in half with some plain tomato sauce (not Marinara) smeared on top and a miniscule sprinkling of Parmesan.
That is NOT how Eggplant Parmesan is made...and who would want it everyday? No one!
Blatant discrimination against Vegetarians!
One evening, in desparation, I ordered a tuna fish sandwich with toasted whole wheat bread...with their lettuce, tomato, and swiss cheese additions.
Who could botch that?
I received a toasted tuna sandwich on white bread!?! They fried the whole sandwich.
It was hot tuna!.
No tomato, no lettuce, no cheese, etc.
Unbelievable!
If you want toast for breakfast, you'll be delighted with your single piece of almost toasted bread.
They will offer you "butter". It's emulsified soybean oil. Not butter.
The jam is one flavor of unsweetened (strawberry) Smucker's in a packet with who-knows-what for sweetener?
A taco? You'll receive a folded soggy tortilla with their canned cubed chicken inside, a pile of black beans, and a pile corn. That is what passes for a taco.
No seasoning.
Ask for salsa and the response is..."We don't have it.".
(They have never heard of it!)
You can have something called "Taco Sauce" in a packet with the requisite high fructose corn syrup and the 2 preservatives.
However, you must know to ask for it by the "Taco Sauce" code name.
I was there for 3 long weeks and lost 14 pounds.
My cousin ordered Kate's Farm protein drinks and Aloha protein bars from Amazon...or, I would have starved.
When I was finally released, I was so iron deficient, I had to call 911 and go to the Emergency Room at Swedish Edmonds.
I was seriously anemic!
At Swedish Edmonds ER, I received 3 blood transfusions.
The "food" at Richmond Beach Rehab is criminal!!!
The people administering the facility only care about their little rules, the numbers, and getting a pat on the back for coming in under budget.
The excuses they give are worn-out clichés like..."We're doing the best we can with what we have".
That means absoluetly NOTHING!
Here's an idea...OWN THE PROBLEMS AND FIX THEM!!! read more
