Review

St. Margaret's at Mercy, a nursing home and rehabilitation center, has received mixed reviews from individuals who have had experiences with the facility. Overall, there seems to be a positive sentiment regarding the staff and safety measures in place, although there are concerns about certain aspects such as television access and friendliness of staff.

One reviewer shared their great experience at St. Margaret's and mentioned that their mother loved the staff and the food. They also highlighted the exceptional therapy team and felt reassured about their mother's safety during the height of the pandemic. However, they pointed out that one drawback was the lack of free television.

On the other hand, another individual expressed disappointment in St. Margaret's service, particularly regarding communication and staff competence. They claimed that their mother had to be rushed to the hospital due to inadequate care at the facility. They criticized administration for poor communication with family members and labeled nursing staff and aides as completely incompetent.

A contrasting review provided a more balanced perspective. The resident undergoing rehab program at St. Margaret's commended the good care they received, noting that the unit was pleasant, clean, and well-maintained by helpful staff members. While they mentioned that there was no menu catering to personal preferences for meals or access to newspapers, they still found the food decent and were able to enjoy activities in a common room with a TV.

Another reviewer spoke highly of St. Margaret's based on their experience with their mother staying there for rehabilitation. The staff was described as helpful and positive, while the room was considered nice. Although not exceptional, the food quality was acceptable to them.

Similarly, someone shared that their grandmother had a positive experience overall at St. Margaret's during her three-week stay for rehabilitation post-hospitalization. Despite concerns about insufficient food portions resembling hospital meals, they praised the amazing staff who took great care of their grandmother whenever she needed assistance.

In summary, opinions about St. Margaret's at Mercy vary among reviewers. Positive aspects include the caring staff, pleasant ambiance, and satisfactory care provided during rehabilitation. However, some negative reviews highlight issues with communication, staff competence, and certain amenities like television access and personalized menu options. It is important for individuals considering St. Margaret's to weigh these varying experiences to make an informed decision about their loved one's care.
