Overall Review of South Place Rehabilitation And Skilled Nursing

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Odor and soiling concerns recur

Some residents and families report urine or feces odors and episodes of soiled care.

Several reviewers describe a strong urine odor and mention feces or soiled items, with complaints ranging from hours-long neglect to overwhelming smell. A few others also describe the facility as filthy or that rooms and shared areas were not kept clean. Other reviews say the facility smelled pleasant and visits felt clean, suggesting experiences vary by unit or shift.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy timing varies

Families describe both meaningful therapy progress and also long gaps in therapy attention.

Some families say rehab helped their loved ones improve and they received therapy while staying for inpatient rehab. In contrast, other reviewers report very limited therapy time during a stay and describe serious health deterioration they believed was missed or delayed. Taken together, residents’ rehab experiences appear inconsistent across visits.

Activities and courtyard time matter

Residents get regular engagement, including courtyard time and group activities.

Multiple reviewers point to activities as a reason their loved one seemed engaged, including outings to the courtyard and a sense that the days stay filled. The community also offers scheduled daily activities and planned day trips, along with resident-run and community-sponsored activity options. Some reviewers specifically thank the activity staff, reinforcing that engagement is a visible part of daily life here.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Medication and call response can falter

Some families report missed medication needs or delayed help when alarms were triggered.

A couple of reviewers describe problems such as forgotten medications and situations where help did not arrive promptly despite alarms or requests. These comments align with concerns about reliability during certain stays, including weekends or when families were not present full-time. Other reviews describe staff as communicating well with families, but these reports show that response quality is not uniform.
