Overall Review of Salem Health & Rehabilitation

common 45 reviews mention this

Staff are consistently kind

Residents and visitors repeatedly describe the staff as kind and attentive.

Many reviewers say the staff is friendly, polite, and caring, whether they are nurses, CNAs, reception, or therapy team members. Several people also mention specific staff members taking extra time to help during visits or care moments. A few negative reviews criticize professionalism or responsiveness, but even those accounts often acknowledge individual staff members trying to help.

Cleanliness and odors draw concerns

Cleanliness and odor issues come up often in the negative reviews.

Some reviewers report persistent cleanliness problems, including dirty rooms or hallways and trash or debris left behind. Multiple comments mention strong odors, including urine smell, and note insects like cockroaches or ants. There are also a few positive cleanliness remarks, but the negative accounts describe the issue as affecting the patient experience rather than a one-time oversight.

Activities and outings stand out

Activities are a frequent bright spot in residents’ day-to-day experiences.

Reviewers describe regular events and activity programming, including resident activities and community-sponsored events like the chili cook-off. Several people mention that residents seem engaged and enjoy the time spent with others. A number of reviews also note outings, with some describing transportation to get residents out for shopping or other activities.

differentiator 7 reviews mention this

Therapy support helps recovery

Physical and occupational therapy is repeatedly described as helpful for rehab progress.

Several reviewers credit the therapy team—especially PT/OT—with helping them regain strength, stamina, or mobility during rehab. People describe therapists as professional, kind, and focused on preparing for discharge. While a few critical reviews mention care problems, the recurring positive theme is that therapy work made a real difference in recovery for the individuals who wrote about it.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Dining is mixed

Dining feedback ranges from tasty meals to complaints about meal quality.

Some reviewers say the meals are very tasty and that staff bring snacks. Others describe food quality as mediocre or poor, and one reviewer says dietary needs were not accommodated. The community offers restaurant-style dining and supports special dietary restrictions in meal service and meal prep, which aligns with why dining becomes a point of contrast in reviews.
