Overall Review of Wentworth Rehab & Health Care Center

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Staffing and oversight concerns

Several residents were described as not being watched over consistently.

Many reviewers complain about insufficient staffing or inadequate follow-through, describing situations where residents were left unattended, call systems did not seem to work promptly, or care felt like it was handled only after being pushed for. Some accounts also describe issues with basic supervision and follow-up, including being moved without adequate attention to immediate needs. A smaller number of reviews take the opposite view, saying staff kept families informed and responded when problems came up.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Falls and elopement incidents

Multiple reviews describe serious safety incidents involving supervision.

Several reviewers report incidents tied to inadequate monitoring, including falls and residents wandering off. One account describes a resident being left unattended outside and later being declared missing. Other reviews describe being sent out unsupervised and then missing for days, with families saying they received limited communication during the time the resident was away.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and pest complaints

Pest and cleanliness concerns come up repeatedly in reviews.

Multiple reviewers mention seeing roaches or other pests, including reports of roaches in hallways. Others describe the facility smelling or feeling dirty during visits. A few reviews also say the environment was clean and tidy, but the pest and odor concerns appear often enough to remain a consistent negative theme.

common 5 reviews mention this

Some residents get strong care

Some families report professional, attentive day-to-day care.

A subset of reviewers describe the staff as professional and friendly, and say communication improved when something needed attention. These reviews also mention clean, tidy conditions and that residents received what they needed, including help arranging hospital visits when required. While these accounts exist, they contrast with other reviews that describe neglect or poor responsiveness.
