Overall Review of Atlantic Shores Rehabilitation & Health Center

differentiator 3 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy get praise

Physical and occupational therapy are described as hands-on and genuinely helpful.

Several residents and family members describe rehab as a turning point, with therapy that helps them build back strength and function. One reviewer specifically praises physical therapists for being hands-on and responsive, while another highlights that PT and OT sessions were very helpful. A different resident also credits therapy and programs for helping them “get” themselves together during their stay.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Food is hit or miss

Dining quality is inconsistent, with several residents calling it just okay.

While some reviewers mention meals positively, others say the food could be better. One resident notes the meals are nutritious but adds that the food could be a little better, even while calling the overall rehab stay very good. Another reviewer says the only complaint was that the food could have been better, and a separate critical review complains that meals are sub-standard.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Getting through by phone frustrates

Reaching the facility by phone and getting responses can be difficult.

At least a couple of reviewers describe trouble connecting with staff, including phone calls that are always busy and difficulty getting a human. One reviewer reports no one answers the phone, while another complains that administration does not return calls. These comments point to a communication gap that families notice when they need timely help.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Some care lapses are reported

Some residents are described as left unattended or not getting timely basics.

A recurring negative theme is delayed or inadequate follow-through on basic needs. Reviewers describe long waits for help and missed requests, including a resident waiting for aspirin for hours and another being left alone without proper hydration. Others also report patients going unattended for long periods and not being offered fluids, and one review attributes problems to being understaffed and leaving patients unattended, leading to dehydration and more hospital visits.
