I was a patient at the UW Rehab Hospital for 7 days. I found the physical and occupational…read moretherapists there to be not only pleasant and helpful but game-changers in my life. They were extraordinarily knowledgeable about things I needed help with, some of which I didn't even realize I had problems with. I am in much better shape after seeing them than I would have been, Be aware though, it is 3 hours a day of sometimes hard work, and its 6 days a week. The nursing and support staff were with rare exceptions very good to excellent. I was a difficult patient, even so, they treated me with kindness and respect as they laid down the law. Over time it appeared to me that the nurses and support staff needed more help. I'm no expert and no one ever said anything remotely close to the floor needing more staff. I may be thinking incorrectly since I was on the bone marrow transplant floor at the UW Hospital where you are almost swarmed by nurses at times. I have had a lot of experience with hospital food lately. (I have been in either St. Mary's or UW Hospital for 2+ months recently. BTW, from my perspective the food at St. Mary's was very good.) The food at the Rehab Hospital, by my simple standards, was good to very good. They achieved this by having a very limited menu. Speaking of limited menus, while I was at the rehab hospital the TV menu of stations was like nothing I had seen before. Let's just say the big dogs in the world of station numbering got no respect. With no obvious logic to the TV menu, it was hard to find stations. Also, the menu was on plain paper and easy to destroy or lose. If you are a liberal this may bother you. While the selection of cable news networks included Fox News, it did not include MSNBC. I questioned how that could be and received no response. I did eventually learn that listening to TV's while walking the halls indicated that many people were watching FOX News, Finally, you should be aware that the UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital is owned in its entirety by, and its employees are employees of, Kindred Healthcare. Kindred is [from their wesite] "the largest diversified provider of post-acute care services in the world ... with more than 102000 employees." As I said above I was happy with the service that I received (even during a, not discussed, period of ruptured pipes). I hope this helps you to make your own decisions.

The contract says that Oakwood keeps the deposit for as long as it takes to sell the unit again. My family has been waiting more than a year for the return of the deposit.

If you know you will need this money to pay for nursing care following independent living, think twice about signing that contract. Even sleazy landlords are required to pay deposits within a reasonable amount of time and with interest.
