Overall Review of Abington Crest Health Care and Rehabilitation Center

common 15 reviews mention this

Staff care gets repeated praise

Multiple residents and families describe staff who care about residents.

A recurring theme is that residents are treated with care, with praise spanning nursing, housekeeping, dietary, and overall departments. Some reviewers also single out the rehab team, activities support, and leadership as being attentive to residents’ needs. A few reviews add that the director of nursing is responsive and kind, and one family says the nurses became “like family.”

Call response and medical follow-through

Several reviews raise concerns about delayed help when called.

While some reviewers are satisfied with care, others describe delayed responses after using the nurse call button, including one report of waiting well over half an hour. A few families also describe unmet needs, such as not receiving baths and not seeing a doctor for an extended period. One physical rehab review says responses could take an hour or more, reinforcing concerns about consistency in day-to-day responsiveness.

common 6 reviews mention this

Therapy and activities stand out

Residents frequently mention therapy and activities they can join.

Residents and families commonly point to therapy and organized activities as strengths. Several reviews mention participation like bingo or art, along with a day-to-day routine that keeps residents engaged. At the same time, one physical rehab review criticizes the rehab as minimal, which suggests experiences may vary by situation.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and facility condition vary

Reviews are split on cleanliness and overall condition.

Some reviewers describe a clean, professional atmosphere and say residents are kept clean. Others paint a much worse picture, citing issues like mold, water damage, and bedbugs, and calling the facility disgusting. Taken together, the cleanliness picture appears inconsistent across resident experiences.
