Review

Christian Care Center of Memphis has received mixed reviews from families who have had their loved ones stay at the facility for rehabilitation. While the facility is clean and spacious, it seems to suffer from understaffing issues, which have led to a lack of proper care and communication problems.

One family member expressed their gratitude when their mother was finally discharged after being in the facility during Covid-19 restrictions. They understood the no-visitor policy initially but felt concerned about the lack of staff and overworked CNAs. The CNAs were described as pleasant but unable to provide adequate care due to being stretched too thinly. The nurses were friendly but lacked effective communication skills, often avoiding phone calls and not returning them. This family member advised against placing a loved one in this facility unless they are independent or can be visited daily to ensure proper care.

Another family member shared a devastating experience involving their grandmother who suffered a stroke and was transferred to Christian Care Center for rehabilitation. Unfortunately, she contracted multiple infections, including Covid-19, while staying there. Her overall health declined rapidly, leaving her unable to sit up or engage in any activities. The lack of communication from the facility made it difficult for the family to get updates on their grandmother's condition. Upon her return home, they discovered that her dentures, wheelchair, and glasses were missing with no efforts made by the staff to replace them.

However, not all reviews are negative. One individual mentioned that their aunt had a pleasant experience at Christian Care Center. The rooms were described as pleasant and above average for care centers, and the staff treated her like family. The courtyard and salon were particularly enjoyable for her aunt. This positive review offered some hope amidst the other concerning feedback.

Unfortunately, another reviewer expressed frustration with the lack of responsiveness from management regarding essential needs of residents. The resident was bed or wheel-chair bound and went without television for five days due to technical difficulties that went unresolved despite multiple requests. This disregard for a resident's well-being was seen as unconscionable, especially considering the significant costs involved.

Lastly, a family member recounted a difficult billing experience with the facility. They were initially assured that everything would be covered by insurance for up to 100 days, but later received a $10,000 balance bill. Additionally, their mother experienced falls while at the facility due to being dropped by staff members. The lack of full-time workers and an apparent lack of accountability further worsened the experience. Theft of personal belongings was also mentioned, with no resolution or return of the stolen items.

Overall, Christian Care Center of Memphis appears to have some concerning issues such as understaffing, poor communication, questionable billing practices, and instances of neglect in terms of resident care and safety. The positive aspects mentioned by some reviewers provide a ray of hope but seem overshadowed by these larger concerns. Families should carefully consider these reviews when making decisions about placing their loved ones in this facility.
