    My Mother was here for a long time and was loved by the staff. Many of the staff took really good…read morecare of her, while others where only there for the pay check and did as little as possible to make her stay a safe/healthy one. For people on vent care it's a lovely place. Parking is difficult as almost all visitor spots are taken by employees including the handicapped spot by an employee who is not handicapped. I do appreciate the care the Doug provided and the outstanding housekeeper Melissa.

    I've been here for a little over a month. I had really looked forward to staying in such a…read morebeautiful, established, facility, but I really wish I hadn't stayed here. The most of the staff are very nice and helpful, but they are way understaffed, so It's hard to get efficient help when you use the call light. Also, meals are terrible. If they have any flavor at all, the are fried or full of grease or oil. Meals are not well thought out and cooked for elderly, or ill residents. I really expected and was told before I came here, that they had a full time cook and home made meals. You can tell that is not the case here. The one thing that really upsets me, I see they are building new offices (in a star shape) for upper staff members. For a facility that is so archaic and understaffed, that is ridiculous. If it wasn't for the residents, they wouldn't even have a facility. Why not take care of resident needs and staffing issues before spending so much money on offices. Such greed is all I see. Update the call lights to a system like the hospitals where staff can call down to the room when a light is on to see what is needed. That way the most urgent things can be attended to first, and what is needed can be taken straight to the rooms instead of having to make 2 trips. Also, provide radios or phones for ALL staff members so they can contact each other as needed, especially for emergencies. FIRST PRIORITY should be resident care and SECOND should be nursing/assistant staff. LAST should be providing new officies for upper staff. Needless to say, If I have to return to a nursing home, it won't be here. I LOVED Warwick when it was opened, I would have happily lived there. My doctors would like me to stay long term, but I'm glad to be leaving here.

    My mom has had way too many bad experiences while in this adult rehab center. She is only 74 years…read moreold, does not have dementia, and has all her wits about her and knows when she is being neglected. She went in for rehab on her hip and shoulder, currently in a wheeler chair and needs help getting in and out of it. She rings and rings, has to shout, and no one comes to help her to the toilet. Sadly she was forced to wet the bed 2x in the first 48 hours there. One of the nurses told my mother that "being it's the weekend we are short staffed and the head nurse is also on vacation..." and that why she was left to pee on the bed/floor!?! 3 days later I drove up and my mom and I talked to one of the Directors about both of these experiences. Just was hoping things would turn around for the better for my mom while she's there. One nurse told her she's a 2-3 person job being she's heavy set and that she'll have to wait until she could find another person to help. That's fine, but hold her bladder for an hour? When they do help her on the toilet she's then left for an hour before they return to help her off. This is sad and humiliating for her. Nothing has changed after 10 days. Now she tells me she's just not going to drink that much water!!! Last night she was left in the activity center and needed help to get back to her room. She also has an oxygen tank to carry so she needs help. She was left sitting for hours and had to resort to yelling for someone to help. Now she's worried they'll label her 'mean' for 'yelling'...but again, no one came. After an hour went by, and more screaming at the top of lungs, a nurse from the other side of the building heard her and came running to help. This nurse said "I had to rescue you the other day too, where are all the people on this side of the building?" Now this morning my mom tells me someone woke her up at 4 am to rub a cream on her groin?? They said she had a rash...my mom was like " it's 4 am!?!" Not sure what's happening but we're checking out of this place. Leadership at Metron simply has not hired enough of the right people and it seems training the staff is neglected at this adult care facility. I feel bad for the dementia patients there who can't communicate and let someone know what's happening.

    My sister was a patient here for a couple of days. The lack of care was disgraceful. She was…read moreforced to lie in bed for 5 hours upon her arrival from the hospital, with no pain meds and no help to get to the bathroom, which she couldn't do for herself. When they finally brought her a bedside lavatory, it was encrusted with old urine. When she would ring for help, no one came for a long time, and when they did they were surly and rude. My sister honestly felt that if she stayed there any length of time, she would have died. As a former registered nurse and director of nursing, my sister knows what she is talking about. She was supposed to be there for a few weeks of rehab for a hip injury, yet they left her lying in bed all day and only got her up once a day. She laid there crying in pain because they wouldn't or couldn't get her pain meds to her. Fortunately, she was able to arrange to be discharged after just a few days and is now doing much better having her rehab at home. Don't let any of your loved ones go to this place!
