Overall Review of Pembroke Center

common 30 reviews mention this

Staff care is a mixed picture

Residents and families describe genuinely caring staff alongside serious service breakdowns.

Many reviews say staff members are friendly, attentive, and supportive, with some families highlighting specific people like admissions and social work. Other residents’ families report missed call light responses, poor communication, and moments when care felt unsafe or unprofessional. Even in negative reviews, a few commenters still separate out certain nurses, CNAs, or therapists as better than the overall experience.

common 18 reviews mention this

Cleanliness gets called out often

Reviews frequently mention cleanliness, with comments that are both positive and negative.

Several families describe the facility as very clean, pleasant-smelling, and well kept, including reports of clean floors and walls. Others say the building is dirty, mention odors and dirty linens returning from laundry, and even describe bugs or flies in rooms. Because both kinds of experiences show up in reviews, cleanliness seems to vary by stay and circumstance.

caveat 14 reviews mention this

Short staffing drives delays

A recurring complaint is staffing shortfalls that can delay help.

Some reviewers report being unable to get through on the phone, long waits for assistance, and call lights going unanswered. Others describe being short staffed with high turnover, which they say affects responsiveness and consistent care. One review also describes physical care problems that were attributed to having too many patients for the available staff.

common 6 reviews mention this

Activities and a garden matter

Residents and visitors mention activities, including time outdoors.

Reviews describe regular community-sponsored activity and social time, with at least one person referencing bingo before COVID-era disruptions. Families also note the facility has a garden and that staff bring residents into a more engaging day. For residents dealing with dementia, one reviewer specifically says staff helped the person feel comfortable even when behavior was challenging.

common 3 reviews mention this

Dining quality varies by review

Dining comments range from praise to frustration about cold or poor meals.

Some reviews directly praise food quality, including a compliment about pizza compared with other places. At the same time, other commenters mention cold meals when delivered and describe dissatisfaction with food quality. The only nutrition-related items consistently mentioned in the community’s offering are special dietary needs, including diabetes-related and restricted diets.
