Overall Review of Tanglewood Nursing & Rehabilitation

differentiator 3 reviews mention this

Therapy progress comes through

Residents and families describe meaningful gains from therapy during rehab.

Several reviews mention physical, occupational, or speech therapy helping with day-to-day improvement, including getting stronger and walking again. One reviewer also points to overall quality of care improving over time, specifically noting progress in therapy. A separate positive review says therapy staff helped them feel safer and more secure again.

Staff communication and attention varies

Reviews frequently question whether calls are answered promptly and consistently.

A recurring complaint is that phones or call lights are not answered right away, including situations described during the night. Some reviews also describe residents waiting for help, with one account saying staff took a long time to respond after a call light was pressed. On the other hand, other reviews describe staff being welcoming, friendly, and quick to reassure visitors.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a mixed story

Residents and visitors describe both clean, pleasant spaces and severe hygiene problems.

Some reviews say the building smelled clean, looked organized, and felt pleasant on arrival. Other reviews sharply contrast that by describing strong urine odors, dirty rooms, and unsanitary conditions. A few accounts also connect the hygiene issues to basic care not happening as expected during the stay.

Reviews call out problems with food quality, diet options, and medication handling.
