Overall Review of Crestfield Rehabilitation Center & Fenwood Manor

differentiator 5 reviews mention this

PT and OT support stands out

Residents describe PT and OT teams that help them regain mobility.

Several reviews highlight physical therapy and occupational therapy as a major reason families felt progress was possible. People mention PT/OT being helpful with specific rehab goals like walking again, strengthening after a hospital stay, and returning home. Some residents also describe consistent guidance and instructions that made recovery feel more manageable. At least one reviewer still reports poor PT outcomes, so results are not described as uniformly smooth.

common 10 reviews mention this

Staff compassion is a common theme

Many residents and families say the staff was caring and attentive.

Across multiple reviews, residents and families praise nurses, aides, therapists, and other staff members for being patient, empathetic, and supportive. Several reviewers also mention staff communicating with family and taking care seriously, including during medication and discharge planning. A few experiences differ, with some reviews criticizing neglect, rudeness, or unprofessional behavior, but positive accounts still appear frequently. Overall, the reviews suggest care depends heavily on the specific situation and unit.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Food receives strong mixed feedback

Dining quality is inconsistent in residents' accounts.

Some reviews say the food was good, delicious, and part of a better-than-expected stay. Others are far less positive, calling meals terrible or deplorable and describing hunger or poor diet support. A few reviewers tie food concerns to overall satisfaction, including how well residents were nourished during rehab. Because accounts vary widely, families may want to plan for how meals and special needs are handled day to day.

common 8 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised, condition varies

Some reviewers emphasize cleanliness, while others point to dated areas.

Several residents describe the facility as clean and neat, and some mention rooms looking nice or well kept. Others report problems with the building’s overall condition, including outdated areas, common-bathroom concerns, and unpleasant hallway or bathroom odors. One reviewer also points to comfort issues with beds, and another says facilities need updates even if care staff were strong. The reviews suggest cleanliness can be better in some areas, but physical condition is not consistently described the same way.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Call-bell and care response issues

Some residents describe delays and missed care needs.

A recurring negative theme is slow response and inconsistent follow-through when help is needed. Several reviews mention long waits for basic needs like bathroom assistance or pain medication, and some describe call bells going unanswered. There are also reports of inadequate feeding or discharge follow-through, along with complaints about staff behavior when concerns were raised. While other reviews describe staff as responsive and proactive, these negative accounts are prominent enough to be a clear caution for families.
