Overall Review of Buckeye Terrace Rehabilitation And Nursing Center
caveat20 reviews mention this
Cleanliness and odors draw strong complaints
Multiple residents and families describe serious cleanliness and odor issues.
Many reviewers say the building smelled strongly of urine or feces and that rooms and common areas were not cleaned properly. Several also mention pest problems like roaches, and some describe dirty bedding, missed tray service, or unclean bathroom and bedpan issues. While a few other reviews say the facility felt clean and improved under newer leadership, the negative cleanliness feedback is recurring.
caveat18 reviews mention this
Care responsiveness and safety concerns
Residents describe delays in getting help and breakdowns in basic care routines.
A recurring concern in the reviews is that help was not provided when called—some people describe call lights going unanswered, staff members not showing up, or residents left waiting. Others mention missed needs such as showering, meals, or getting to medical appointments, and several raise broader safety issues including medication handling and supervision. A smaller set of reviews contrasts this by praising better communication and more attentive nursing, but the majority of the critical experiences focus on reliability.
differentiator8 reviews mention this
Therapy and nursing get praise
Therapy and nursing care are specifically called out as a positive.
Some reviews highlight therapy as an area where they saw real improvement, with multiple mentions of excellent therapy experiences. In those same accounts, nursing support is described as attentive, with staff helping promptly when concerns came up. A few residents also mention social workers or individual staff members by name as part of what made care feel supportive.
common9 reviews mention this
Social workers and staff compassion stand out
Several reviews describe caring, professional support from individual staff members.
A number of positive reviews focus on compassionate interactions—especially from social workers—describing staff as understanding and professional. Some reviewers say they felt treated like family and that staff helped them feel more comfortable or better supported during transitions. At the same time, other reviews dispute this overall impression, so compassion appears uneven across experiences rather than universally reported.
caveat4 reviews mention this
Dining expectations are mixed
Dining quality is a frequent point of disagreement among reviewers.
Some reviewers describe meals as poor, microwaved or unappetizing, and a few mention cases where food trays were missing or residents went hungry. Other reviews offer a more favorable view, saying food was better and meals met expectations. The community offers restaurant-style dining per its listed services, but the reviews do not align consistently on quality.
caveat3 reviews mention this
Activities are present, but outings vary
Residents report scheduled activities, but outdoor time is limited.
The community is described as having planned daily activities and resident-focused programming, and some families mention positive experiences tied to staff and the building. However, other reviewers say residents are not allowed outside for fresh air at all or only briefly, framing it as a limitation rather than a preference. This leaves residents with different experiences depending on staffing and rules at the time of their stay.
