This place was the worst. It is understaffed, dirty and no one takes responsibility for anything. My father moved in on a Friday afternoon at 2pm right before shift change. They didn't brlng him dinner, or breakfast the next morning. I went and got him breakfast. When I went to nurses station , to ask if they could check and make sure he'd get lunch onwards, the male staff person said it was up to admitting to take care if it. Well, admitting screwed up, do you expect my dad to have no meal until Monday?

Horrible care

If I could give a 0 that would be my rating. The staff is the most incompetent personnel I have ever had to deal with. The majority of the CNAs are rude and lazy. Staff ignores call light buttons(especially the night shift). It is almost impossible to get water. If you do you have to wait for over an hour for a response. They leave you in the bathroom for over an hour at a time. The food is the worse I have ever had. Family had to bring food to me every day, which was the case for many of the patients in this faci…

Please heed these reviews. My mom was in Garden Gate for rehab after a broken hip. The facility is filthy, food is unrecognizable. She fell twice with in 48 hours, trying to get to the bathroom. She kept complaining of arm pain after the second fall. 2 days after I moved her out of there to another rehab, found out she had broken her arm in the second fall. I truly believe she would have died in there if I hadn't gotten her out.

Absolutely filthy. The facility needs a thorough cleaning. This place should be closed down. I do not drink coffee so I ordered hot tea. My water for tea was stone cold. I had to get out of there.

Run as fast as you can away from this place. The worst experience of my life I checked myself out ama which means against medical advice. My entire butt is all bed sores bc they wouldn't answer call button. I have a rescue inhaler which they kept and when I screamed please help me I need my inhaler they just walked by. I was ready to call an ambulance to get me out of there. This facility needs to be thoroughly investigated and I'm very tempted to call the news to relay my experience to them. They fed me …

My mother is in there right now. It is awful and just smells. When you go to the desk where she is for a question the staff is on their phones and looks at you like you have 2 heads. No one knows nothing. I went up there at lunch time my mother didn’t have a tray I asked they said she refused it. Well maybe she did but the visitor next to her said they didn’t even come in here. So I asked for a tray it came!!! No cover everything was ice cold like it was someone else’s leftovers. Awful. It’s not their mother it’s m…
