Overall Review of Pendleton Health & Rehabilitation Center
caveat4 reviews mention this
Staffing and call response are mixed
Some residents report delayed help when call alarms run for long periods.
A recurring negative theme is staffing levels and the speed of assistance. Several reviewers describe call buttons going unanswered for extended stretches, with alarms sounding but no one coming in, and physical therapy being missed or inconsistent when the schedule was busy. Some other reviewers do say care improved or that staffing was sufficient, but the timing and reliability concerns still show up in the feedback.
