My friend was admitted to Iliff for rehabilitation after developing cellulitus on his foot and…read moreneeding physical therapy to help him walk again. I visited him three to four times a week, and each time, I found him almost unresponsive, I could not wake him up, which was extremely unusual for him. The wound care he received was the exact opposite of what his doctor had instructed, which was alarming. Additionally, despite his inability to walk, the staff's approach was disturbingly passive. When I asked about his physical therapy, a nurse told me, "If he doesn't want to walk, we won't force him." Rehabilitation is about encouragement and support, not neglect. One particularly troubling incident occurred when my friend repeatedly pressed his call button for help, but no one responded. He then called the nursing station, but still, no one answered. In desperation, he called me, and I had to physically go to Iliff to inform the staff that he needed assistance. This level of neglect was unacceptable. Concerned for his well-being, I immediately contacted his family and urged them to get him out of that facility before it was too late. Meaning, I told his family he might die there, in my opinion if they did not get him out. Thankfully, the family listened to me and they moved him out. He is now receiving proper care at home--he is no longer overmedicated (again my opinion), his wound is being treated according to his doctor's orders, and he is making significant progress with physical therapy. If I could give zero stars, I would. Quality care should never be optional, and basic responsiveness, proper medical treatment, and patient support should be the standard--not the exception. This was not a safe environment.

Skilled nursing centers with Rehab need to be closely scrutinized and we selected this location for my mom after her stroke due to the fantastic Gym for intense rehab, the dynamic therapists, and the location near our home so we could visit often. After five weeks there, she came home stronger and confident, but there were some issues here and there that made the experience somewhat traumatic. The new administration arrived when we did, and when we returned four months later with mom's Congestive Heart Failure, it was like a a Tsunami touched on every area of deficit we had seen prior. The Administrators held themselves accountable for the concerns that we had, and in the eight days we were there in August, I can highly recommend this location. Nothing is perfect in the area of need for elderly or those recovering, but the site was very clean, the nurses were top notch and positively invested above and beyond in their patients. The therapists and the gym maintain their five star review throughout both experiences (especially the manager and PT "Jim Morales" , but a special thanks to our nurse "Taylor", who felt like part of our family when our visit over.

She needed full…read moretime assistance initially for poor balance, then increasingly for dementia, presenting different challenges to the aides. The staff always provided excellent 24-hour personal care, whatever was needed. They were always good about consulting with me about care decisions. She previously lived at a corporate assisted living facility, where she received terrible care compared to Home Eldercare. The facility is a single family home with pleasant yard and deck, large living room, and private bedrooms. Every meal is prepared in the kitchen, including special dietary needs. All of the routine needs (periodic checkups, podiatry, blood tests, etc.) are coordinated by Home Eldercare, with a visiting physician, so I did not need to manage any doctor appointments etc. The management and aides are always patient with clients with dementia or other issues. They are very careful to avoid egress, control medications, avoid contagions, etc. I heartily recommend Home Eldercare on Orchard Street for anyone needing full-time, long-term care. Sincerely, Steve J.

Though the facility…read moreis listed as "Assisted Living" they did much more than that - their care was superior to the care my mother received at a large, well-known chain facility's memory care floor. Bali and the team of caregivers were always so kind to my mom (and she was definitely a challenge). As my mother became more and more debilitated, they stepped up the care to meet her needs. Medication management was included in the basic cost and never increased, even as medications were added. Home Eldercare has my unreserved recommendation. The place is not fancy, but the care is wonderful!

DISCLAIMER: My apologies in advance for this lengthy review. I wanted to document the horrible…read morecustomer service my wife and I experienced from the INOVA FAIRFAX HOSPITAL NICU during a 3.5 month span. The best part of this review is that my wife and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Due to her being a preemie, she stayed in the hospital for an extended period where we experienced first hand the broken healthcare system and instances of malpractice within the NICU. Regarding the care of our daughter, it was a frustrating experience from the beginning! There was a great communication barrier between us and the hospital staff, to include front desk personnel, nurses, doctors, supervisors and upper level hospital management. To make a long story short, this hospital failed us, often picking and choosing what protocols they should follow, and not providing key information to us that they promised to deliver. In our initial complaint, we spoke to the supervisor to explain the discrepancy in communication, and all they could do is apologize, and attempted to justify the behavior of their staff. There is also a disparity in the amount of minority (African American) nurses at the unit. The few black nurses that provided care for our daughter expressed concerns with how the unit was being handled. Specifically, one of our daughter's nurses explained her reasoning to transition from full-time to part-time due to her inability to do what she studied and practiced for years regarding taking care of babies. Instead, she explained that at INOVA Fairfax, the nurses are simply tasked with following the doctor's orders even if it is contrary to what the child needs. Although the nurses are the primary care-givers for the children, their feedback is not really valued and that presents a major disservice to the families. In addition, we noticed a big disservice that the nurses were providing. Many nurses were on their phones, reading books and having leisure conversations outside of the infants rooms while alerts were going off that required immediate attention for their assigned babies. There was also a clear incompetence displayed by the night-time staff and nurses compared to the dayshift. Calling at night-time for updates was a nuisance due to the ignorant staff saying that they did not know the answers to basic questions. We would often be advised to just check with the day shift. Doctors and nurses alike agreed that the night-time staff doesn't really know anything and verified that the care at night is often not up to par! Therefore, the night-time staff doesn't really do anything to advance the child. There is also a disparity in the amount of minority (African-American) nurses at the unit.

Although the nurses are the primary care-givers for the children, their feedback is not really valued and that presents a major disservice to the families. As it relates to the doctors, it was frustrating due to the many doctors we would see on a week to week basis, all had differing opinions regarding our daughter's care. In most instances, it seemed as if no action was their best course of action instituted. As a result, every milestone that our daughter accomplished was initiated by us. With such a slow trajectory regarding our daughter's care, it inspired us to look into how her development could be expedited to get her home as quickly and safely as possible. Every suggestion that we made was implemented, and our daughter never had to go backwards. That presents a major quandary on behalf of the hospital because the doctor's get paid to make the decisions. Consequently, in this case, we were proposing all the decisions, and they would just say, "ok, then, let's try it." There is plenty more that transpired, but due to limitations I cannot share. However, if you are a minority and are having a baby, you may want to reconsider contrary to INOVA Fairfax.

My father was sent to Manor Care Fair Oaks for rehab following a fall that resulted in a serious…read morehead injury (from which he was quite confused and agitated) and a lengthy hospital stay. He came out with two stage 2 pressure sores, which the ER staff at the nearest hospital discovered after one of his 3 falls in 2 weeks. They found the sores while cleaning old, crusted excrement off of his buttocks because the staff at the "rehab" facility couldn't be bothered to help him to the bathroom. They just put him in a diaper and then refused to change or clean him. When I brought this to the director's attention she said the ER nurse was lying. Then she yelled at me, saying my father wasn't an appropriate patient for the facility. Somehow this didn't stop her from accepting him as a patient and cashing his Medicare checks, but whatever. Another time I visited, my father smelled like feces, which nobody did anything about until I asked multiple times. When it was all over, the room still reeked because they left sh*t smeared on the wall (see pictures). When I alerted the staff to the problem, they shrugged and didn't do anything for 30+ minutes, so I ended up cleaning it myself. Another time I came to visit, my father almost fell, but I managed to catch him and lower him gently to the ground because I'm not strong enough to deadlift a 175-lb human. When nobody came to see what happened (this wasn't a quiet situation), I peeked around the corner to the nurse's desk and nobody was there. I called for help for 10 minutes before someone showed up, and they acted annoyed that I was yelling while my father was lying on the cold, hard, dirty floor. The doctor who supposedly oversees care for the patients in the facility, without examining him or doing any tests, diagnosed my father with diabetes, which he didn't have. He was taking a medication commonly prescribed for diabetes, but he was taking it for heart failure. I hope she doesn't actually treat patients. Finally, when I sprung my father from that hellhole, I was presented with a garbage bag full of laundry, which they had told me they were sending out to be washed. Everything was soaked in urine, and there were solid pieces of feces in the bag. I suspect this might have been because I complained about how my father was neglected. My father died in hospice at a better-staffed and -managed place 2 weeks after I got him out of this abusive, corrupt excuse for a health care facility. He probably would've died around then anyway, but it haunts me that he spent some of the last weeks of his life in that horrible place where he was ignored and neglected while he was confused and scared.
