Overall Review of Vernon Health & Rehabilitation

common 13 reviews mention this

Care and compassion draw praise

Many residents and families describe staff as caring and devoted.

A large share of reviewers talk about feeling cared for by the nursing staff, CNAs, and administration, describing love for residents and consistent attention. Several comments also highlight individual caregivers being kind, helpful, and accessible, including when families are new or visiting regularly. A few reviewers are the opposite and say care wasn’t responsive or respectful, so experiences vary by staff and shift.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is mixed but central

Some reviewers say the facility is clean, while others report serious housekeeping problems.

One review praises cleanliness and says the place doesn’t smell, with residents looking well cared for. Another review complains of filthy rooms, including dirty linens and residents left in urine-soaked bedding, describing a breakdown in housekeeping. Taken together, cleanliness appears inconsistent across residents and times.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Communication and responsiveness vary

Reviews describe uneven responsiveness when families ask for updates or help.

Some reviewers say they were not contacted as promised, including a family member waiting for daily progress updates and follow-up results. Others describe staff ignoring questions or taking longer than expected to assist with a toileting need. On the other hand, at least a couple of reviews say staff are helpful and easy to reach for answers, and others describe staff taking time to get to know clients.
