Overall Review of Hendrick Skilled Nursing Facility

Staff kindness and professionalism varies

Many reviewers describe nurses and other staff as kind, courteous, and professional, including praise for quick responses and attentive care during hospital stays. Several also say care teams helped make stressful situations feel more manageable, with specific mentions of nurses and aides on inpatient floors.

Long ER waits come up often

Multiple reviewers report extended waits in the ER without timely assessment.

A recurring theme is waiting in the ER for hours before being seen, with some reviewers describing people leaving or concerns about patients in severe pain being kept waiting. Several reviews mention delays related to imaging orders or not getting updates while waiting. A few accounts also describe reaching a point where families chose to go elsewhere or left the facility without being treated.

Pain control and medication handling

Reviewers disagree on whether pain was managed and medications were handled carefully.

Some residents and families report inadequate pain relief, including requests not being fulfilled or medications not taking the edge off. Others describe medication-related issues tied to discharge timing or what was provided during care. Still, a separate set of reviews includes positive experiences where staff helped residents get through difficult medical moments, suggesting results can depend on the specific situation and team.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Food quality is inconsistent

Residents mention both good hospital food and food that caused problems.

Some reviewers praise the food, saying it was among the best they’ve had in a hospital. Others report issues such as substandard meals or meals that arrived late or raised concerns about freshness. There are also complaints that food contributed to digestive problems for a loved one during the stay.

caveat 6 reviews mention this
