My brother needs injectable insulin, and so he had to be in a facility like Driftwood Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. They take care of him, and they keep him clean and what have you. I'm content with him being right there right now because he's been there for about a year now. The staff is familiar with him. Finally, I found a place where they can deal with him because he has dementia. As far as what his needs are, they keep me up-to-date on it. It's a clean facility. The staff is very profe…

There are 3 per room, not very roomy and uncomfortable. Staff is not well informed of visit changes, especially with covid. Wil give out incorrect information. There are no activities for patients and they are in bed all day long. It does not offer anything positive that will help the quality of life for patients.

I have a loved one in this facility, it is nice and clean and some of the staff is very nice and friendly. The only thing about this place is that they don't answer the phone and when they finally do they leave you on hold for a long period of time.

My mother was there for 23 days. In that time she developed pneumonia because of their lack of communication by their staff. She was left sitting on the edge of her bed for 3 hrs waiting to be changed after sitting in a soaked sweaty gown. A week later she was almost given someone else's medication. Thank God my mom was with it because they were going to give her blood pressure medication which she doesn't take and Levaquin which she is highly allergic to. Mind you the nurse never came back after my mom i…

My dad was in Driftwood Healthcare Center for rehab in the past. Everything there was pretty good. It was the first time we really had any dealing with a rehab community and everything was fine. The staff was very good, our needs were met, and the people got back to me about different things. They didn't have as many activities as the other place we visited, but then again it's a smaller place. They did have activities like cards, bingo, dominoes, they had social time or social hours, and that was basical…

Driftwood was kind of a depressing place, and I didn’t like the thought of her being in there. They took care of her while they could; comparing how many patients they had, they were very busy. We mainly had to let her go there for rehab, to help her walk. The staff we met, the nutrition, and the physical therapist were all really great and were very nice and able to work with us. She was in a room with two other people. The food was OK, but it wasn’t the best food. There were quite a bit of interaction, and they e…
