Overall Review of St Matthews Care Center

common 12 reviews mention this

Staff kindness comes up often

Residents and families frequently describe the staff as kind and caring.

Many reviews mention experiences with staff being friendly, helpful, and attentive, including caregivers treating patients well during rehab and beyond. Several reviewers also highlight comfort and support for family members during difficult circumstances. A few reviews are more critical about care quality, but the overall tone of staff-focused comments is strongly positive.

common 6 reviews mention this

Therapy and rehab are a highlight

Rehab and therapy experiences are a recurring point of praise and discussion.

Several residents and family members talk about rehab care positively, including “excellent” rehab results and dedicated therapy staff. One resident who has lived at the facility for years specifically calls out the therapy department and the activity director as favorites. Not every review is favorable, with some describing gaps in medical attention or problems receiving medication during the rehab transition period.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Dining quality is mixed

Dining experiences vary, with both positive mentions and complaints.

Some residents describe food as good and say the menu has variety, with the ability to make special requests. Others report dining-related problems, including complaints about food being “nasty” and repeated issues with insulin while meals were provided. Overall, dining comes through as inconsistent rather than uniformly positive.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Phones and call responsiveness

Communication problems show up in multiple reviews, especially around phone access.

Some reviewers say they couldn’t reach the facility when they tried, including no one answering phones on weekends. There are also accounts of having to call repeatedly to speak with a resident, with delays and excuses described in the experience. One review does describe a call button being answered in a timely manner, but the recurring concern is that families struggle to get responses quickly.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Pests are a serious concern

Pest issues are repeatedly mentioned, including mice and roaches.

Multiple reviews describe mice in rooms or walls, with one reviewer connecting the problem to a safety issue involving food. Other accounts mention roaches, water bugs, or a roach infestation. These reports are framed as ongoing upkeep problems that were not resolved quickly enough, making this one of the most serious recurring complaints.
