Overall Review of Elderwood At Waverly

common 10 reviews mention this

Therapy and care get mixed

Residents describe both strong therapy help and serious care gaps during rehab.

Several reviewers say staff and therapy teams helped them improve, including praise for pain support and “back on my feet” progress. Others report problems during rehab, including being pushed out after insurance ended and feeling they were left without needed support. A few accounts also point to therapy services like speech, physical, and occupational therapy being provided, while others describe neglect or an inability to meet specific care needs. Overall, the rehab experience reads as inconsistent from one stay to the next.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Communication is a major issue

Reviewers frequently mention communication problems around quick changes in condition.

One family member describes not getting calls during a rapid decline and needing to keep checking in repeatedly for updates. Another reviewer says they were told about quarantine timing, but then communication about why the patient was brought back in wasn’t clear. On the positive side, one reviewer says the facility kept them informed during COVID and made virtual check-ins easier. Taken together, communication appears uneven across experiences.

common 5 reviews mention this

Dining satisfaction varies

Dining reviews swing between “food was good” and reports of very poor meals.

Some residents and families report good food, including specific menu items and praise for meals during rehab. Others describe severe dissatisfaction, including complaints about being left in unsanitary conditions and calling out food as “horrendous.” One reviewer also says the kitchen would make whatever they wanted to eat. With restaurant-style dining listed among the community’s features, the reviews still suggest results vary by stay.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is praised, but disputed

Cleanliness shows up as both a comfort and a recurring concern.

Several reviews describe the building as clean and the environment as well kept. At the same time, some accounts include serious complaints about being left in filthy conditions for hours and concerns tied to skin breakdown. One reviewer also calls out understaffing while describing a difficult experience in a body-storage-like setting. Overall, cleanliness is a frequent point of agreement on the positive side, but the negative reviews are strong enough to make it a clear caveat.
