3.6 · 32 reviewsI just want to share that currently my Mom is under Olive Branch care… it’s been almost two weeks and they are amazing!!!
Not impressed at the moment! Some rude staff! Looks nice from a viewing standpoint. Do not get transports scheduled to have other appointments patients need at other facilities. Missed preop appointment 100% not OK. Needs improvement on details making and cleaning beds, shaving, general hygiene routine assisted needs of patients in rehabilitation. Food apparently is ok.
I will start by saying that it looks like a nice facility and the rooms are nice. Some of the people are nice. But that's where it stops. My dad has been in this facility for 3 weeks and we have had issues with the food and the staff. The kitchen staff like to make fun of the patients when they think they aren't paying attention. Why ask what what the patient wants to eat if you aren't going to serve them that? My dad shouldn't have to hunt down the nurse for meds. And when he does, he comes in like the Energizer bunny and barely has time for the patient. This place is definitely not looking…

This place is definitely not looking out for the patients, just their bottom line and what they can get away with. We've never gotten any tests results back, even when we've asked. I can't wait to get my dad out of here in a few days.

I had a rough start because I had a knee replacement surgery and in pain. But this place is wonderful. I am treated so wonderfully and everyone has been so supportive and kind and caring for me. I will go back to this facility in the future if needed. It is so clean and beautiful.
The people are really nice and the facility is clean. They called an ambulance for Mom this morning as she was needing Medical attention. I totally get that they probably needed to release her room, but no one called to tell me. No courtesy call to ask if I wanted to come pick up my Mom's personal belongings. I went to get her hearing aid charger this evening and her room was completely cleared out. They had thrown all Mom's things into a large clear bag and placed in storage. Common courtesy would dictate a phone call to ask if I would like to come get her stuff. I felt this was very unprofessional, and if she has to go back to a rehab, it will not be this one.
They didn't even have a foot rest for my left broken hip.And they asked me to hold it up , since they didn't have a foot rest and I said , I can't , I broke my hip. Then they told me I would get a bath when I got here and no bath and change my diaper, 6 hours later, then the assistance told me I had continents, not incontinence, and I said, I've been a nurse for 35 years and all my neurologists have said, I have incontinents, bows and bladder. And they said , the neurologist don't know what they're talking about and disk me what an ignorant insult
I wouldn't send my dog there. There was a select few CNA's that was good. But the night staff...ooh that night shift.... I would give this place a lower rate but can't just off the night shift. The nurse was horrible. Meds wasn't given correctly This place need up to date training on everything patient interacting, care, meds,etc. Avoid at all cost!!!!
Don't ever send your loved one to a rehab center. I'm sure they're all alike. She was in there for 3 weeks. I took her out 3 weeks later. She passed away. They were not compassionate towards her needs
