    Review

    Experiences at this facility run the full spectrum, from alarming lapses in care to glowing tributes about the rehabilitation program. On the third floor, a family's worst-nightmare scenario is described in stark detail: with only one CNA and one nurse on duty, a mother's diaper remained dirty all night, leaving instead with exposed waste that crept through the diaper and into the chux. Photos allegedly captured the severity of the situation, and the family urged more frequent Department of Health checks at the facility. A nurse supervisor named Gloria was specifically named for not engaging after a message was left, with promises to come talk that never materialized. These points paint a picture of insufficient staffing and slow responsiveness in a situation where a loved one should be receiving steady, compassionate care.

    Several related concerns compound that first snapshot. The family reports a surprising early bath for their mother, witnessed at 8 a.m. by CNA Marci, which disrupted the usual schedule that had the patient washed around 10:30. Marci's blunt reaction when asked to help - "you want to do it!" - was interpreted as inappropriate, suggesting a lack of teamwork and sensitivity to family involvement. The reason for the early cleaning was said to be tied to wound care nursing arriving that day, implying a scheduling pressure that potentially overshadowed the patient's routine and comfort. In another incident, Dorothy, identified as a CNA, reportedly used the same gloves to take out the garbage and then return to care tasks, raising sanitation concerns. A late-night CNA who did not introduce herself allegedly entered a patient room, rifled through drawers, and left without acknowledgement when asked what she was looking for, underscoring a perceived breach of basic courtesy and professional protocol.

    Against these criticisms, there is a different, more uplifting thread that emerges from the same facility - especially in the rehab-focused phase of care. In a second, separate experience described as five-star rehabilitation, the writer singles out a cadre of therapists and staff who seemingly restored faith in the program. The therapists Pascale Carre and Sibert are highlighted for their skill, encouragement, and ability to push the patient toward goals, while a recreation staff member named Nathaly is praised for looking out for the patient's well-being. The writer repeatedly expresses heartfelt gratitude for the care team, noting that the therapists and assistants created an atmosphere of motivation and progress, to the point of claiming they could write a book about the positive interactions and outcomes achieved during rehab.

    Another extended portion of the praise centers on a broad list of CNAs and nurses who made a meaningful impact. Names such as Manuela Andoh, Rommel Gratil, Marcela Quezada, Berta Brito, Dorothy Hinton, and many others are celebrated for their kindness and dedication. The writer even reaffirms a strong sense of personal connection, calling Manuela Andoh a "second mother," and thanking Walter the nurse for attentive care of a mother-in-law, and Rene, Andrea, Maxine Wiles, Tara, and many more for their consistent support. This section conveys a robust, almost familial appreciation for the staff, with the sense that the rehab environment is a thriving, positive community where patients feel genuinely cared for and connected to individual caregivers.

    There are also explicit acknowledgments of the people who held things together on the administrative and logistical side. The administrator Jori is singled out for doing an "amazing job" in managing the place, with special note of the 3rd floor staff and the overall professionalism of the team. The 3rd floor, in particular, is described as amazing, with the care and atmosphere on that unit standing out against other experiences at the facility. Cleanliness, warmth, and a respectful ambiance are repeatedly praised, with several testimonials about the building being beautiful and the staff being friendly, welcoming, and professional. The surgical-like precision of administration appears to complement the compassionate care demonstrated by the direct care providers.

    Yet the narrative does not ignore friction and operational hiccups. Another thread of commentary describes disorganization and inconsistent processes, particularly around discharge planning. One account notes three different discharge times, family members arriving by ambulance in inappropriate clothing, and the ambulance service appearing virtually indifferent - like they were delivering someone's pizza. Dementia adds another layer of vulnerability, with a caregiver insisting on their own awareness of what's appropriate for a patient who may not recognize the implications. Elevators, a frequent logistical bottleneck, are described as slow, and the staff who collect food trays are described as rude for delaying elevator traffic. Food quality and temperature come up too, with criticism that meals could be cold and that this required families to heat trays to improve the experience.

    Despite these organizational critiques, the prevailing sentiment across multiple voices is that this facility has the potential to be excellent, especially in rehabilitative care. The rehab program receives strong endorsements, anchored by the praise for specific therapists and the overall supportive atmosphere they cultivate. The stories of individual caregivers - Isabela, Z, Tasha, Andrea, Theresa, Dorothy, Bertha, Rene, Sandy, and many others - paint a portrait of a community where patients feel seen and valued. The 3rd floor's atmosphere is repeatedly highlighted as a model for how care should feel: respectful, responsive, and capable of delivering tangible progress. In the end, the facility seems to be a place of both serious concerns about staffing and safety, and equally serious belief in the dedication and warmth of the rehab and nursing teams that work there.
