Overall Review of Presbyterian Center For Cont Care

common 18 reviews mention this

Staff care is a clear theme

Many reviews describe staff who are attentive and caring during urgent medical stays.

Across multiple reviews, residents and families emphasize how staff communication and bedside attention helped them get through stressful moments. Several reviewers specifically call out nurses and doctors as compassionate, thorough, and responsive to questions, including during surgery and post-op recovery. A few comments also mention feeling reassured because caregivers explained what was happening and took comfort seriously.

caveat 17 reviews mention this

Emergency care can feel slow

A recurring complaint is long emergency-room wait times and patients placed in hallways.

Many reviews describe extended waits after check-in, including cases where people report sitting for hours before being seen. Several reviewers also mention being placed in hallways or less private spaces due to room availability. While some reviews describe fast triage and efficient care, the wait-time issue is prominent enough that it drives a number of negative experiences.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and room conditions vary

Some reviews criticize cleanliness, including dirty rooms and unsanitary shared areas.

A handful of reviews mention visibly dirty conditions, such as trash or soiled linens, and describe mess that staff did not address quickly. Others describe uncomfortable room setups that feel cramped or isolating. The mix of comments suggests cleanliness and upkeep aren’t consistently described the same way across visits.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Communication and coordination can break down

Reviews frequently mention problems with getting answers, updates, or help in time.

Several reviewers report delays or gaps in follow-through, including difficulty getting timely information, missing paperwork, or unclear next steps. Others describe situations where call bells or requested assistance were not handled promptly. Taken together, residents and families sometimes feel they need to advocate actively to get the level of responsiveness they expected.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Medication and call-bell responsiveness

Some reviews describe limited access to help, including call-bell issues and delayed attention.

Two reviews specifically point to situations where patients lacked an easy way to call for assistance or where attention to urgent needs came late. In one account, a patient describes not having a call bell available during a traumatic post-op period. Another review mentions that call bells were not being answered as expected.
