Overall Review of Alice Manor Convalescent Hospital

common 25 reviews mention this

Staff care comes through clearly

Residents and families most often describe attentive, professional staff and nurses.

Many reviewers describe nurses and CNAs as kind, caring, and respectful, with professionalism showing up in day-to-day interactions. Several comments credit named staff members for helping with rehabilitation and making residents feel welcome and safe. A smaller set of reviewers take the opposite view, but the overall tone across reviews repeatedly centers on how the staff treats residents.

common 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a mixed picture

Some reviewers mention cleanliness improvements, while others report serious cleanliness problems.

Positive reviews mention a cleaner, more welcoming environment, including upgrades since new ownership and better cleanliness than before. In contrast, multiple critical reviews describe very dirty conditions, and one mentions items being stolen during a stay. Taken together, cleanliness appears to be an area where experiences vary widely between residents or time periods.

common 2 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy support stands out

Therapy and rehab are specifically called out as part of the recovery experience.

Two reviewers directly connect progress to therapy, describing improvement and crediting the rehab team. One comment highlights physical and occupational therapy staff as friendly, motivated, and focused on helping patients work toward their goals. This theme is less dominant than staff overall, but it shows up consistently in the reviews that mention rehabilitation.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Care consistency concerns for some families

A recurring concern is gaps in care execution and communication on some shifts.

A few reviews describe problems with staffing performance, including concerns about some CNAs not doing their work and reports of inadequate attention during the night. Several critical comments also point to communication and training gaps, with one describing a chain of medical issues and another describing unmet physiological needs and medication-related concerns. These issues are not echoed by the majority of positive reviews, but they show up often enough to be a clear caveat for prospective families.
