    Review

    Since the COVID outbreak in March, there has been a lack of communication to family members regarding the specifics of residents in a certain healthcare and rehab center. Family members have expressed concern over the limited information provided during care conferences, which are held approximately every three months. These conferences have become infrequent, leaving loved ones with vague updates on their family members' well-being. The restrictions imposed due to COVID prevent family members from entering the facility, creating an additional layer of worry about the quality of care being provided.

    One concerned family member shared their frustration at not being able to speak with the administrator despite repeated attempts. This lack of responsiveness has left them feeling even more anxious and uncertain about their loved one's situation. They strongly emphasize the need for consistent communication in order to ensure that their family member is not suffering from neglect or inadequate care. Unfortunately, staff members often claim that they cannot share information, further exacerbating the problem.

    Another individual shares their experience trying to contact the nursing station for two hours without success. This inability to reach out for updates on their brother's condition adds to their concerns. They had previously found the facility to be satisfactory during a visit but noted that their brother's cellphone had been stolen, raising questions about security measures in place.

    Yet another reviewer expresses disappointment and distress over their great grandmother's mistreatment at this particular healthcare and rehab center. They allege that her belongings were stolen, she was abused, and not cleaned properly. Based on these experiences, they strongly advise others against entrusting their loved ones' care to this facility.

    In contrast to these negative reviews, there is one positive review from a satisfied family member who commends Renaissance Healthcare and Rehab. They mention that their father has been there for two weeks and is pleased with the staff and services provided. The cleanliness of the facility and bright rooms contribute to his overall satisfaction with his stay so far.

    In conclusion, these reviews highlight issues surrounding communication, security, and quality of care at a specific healthcare and rehab center. Family members express frustration over the lack of information regarding their loved ones' well-being, particularly since the COVID outbreak. The inability to reach staff members for updates or concerns is a common complaint. Additionally, allegations of theft, abuse, and improper cleaning raise serious concerns about the welfare and safety of residents. However, amidst these negative experiences, there is one positive review that recognizes the satisfactory services provided by Renaissance Healthcare and Rehab.
