Overall Review of Van Buren Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center

common 20 reviews mention this

Staff care comes through

Multiple residents and families say the staff provides attentive care.

Many reviews describe nurses, CNAs, and therapists as caring, friendly, and responsive, with residents mentioning help with rehab and comfort during their stay. Other reviews are far less positive, including complaints about rude behavior, missed pain medication, and residents being left without help. Even with that spread in experiences, several families specifically point to day-to-day support from frontline staff.

Cleanliness and odors are a fight

A notable number of reviews raise cleanliness and odor concerns.

Some reviewers report the facility is clean and tidy, and a few specifically mention things looking improved after a remodel or that it smells better on certain days. Others describe the building as worn down, dirty, and unpleasant, including hair and a strong odor. There are also reports of items found in resident areas, as well as concerns about hygiene and infection risk.

common 3 reviews mention this

Physical therapy helped residents move

Residents highlight physical therapy as a key part of recovery.

Several reviews credit the physical therapy program with progress, including helping someone start walking again and praising therapists as knowledgeable and professional. One review also notes an oxygen need during physical therapy that they felt wasn’t getting attention. Overall, rehab-focused experiences center heavily on therapy support.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Dining experiences range from tasty to below average.

One set of reviews says meals were tasty and healthy, while another describes the overall food as below average and purchased through low-cost suppliers. A separate review says meals could be better even though other aspects of care were seen positively. Together, reviews suggest dining satisfaction depends on the specific experience.

Several reviewers describe administrative handling that felt untrustworthy or unresponsive, including disputes over medication records and a goal of keeping someone in long-term care instead of returning home. Others complain about billing after discharge, not receiving promised money, or being unable to get updates when trying to reach the facility. There are also claims of missing personal items and not having them deducted from a bill.
