My sister-in-law is at The Guilford House. I've been there many times, it's a very nice place. They're very caring and it's convenient to Route 1. The place is very nice, they take good care of her, and we are very pleased. The staff is very, very caring and they like my sister-in-law. Everybody is very attentive to her so we're very happy about that. The food is very good and their chefs are good. It's an older facility but it's very clean, it's just a little tired-looking a…

The Guilford House was lovely. The nursing care was very good. Everything was very good. My dad ate three meals a day, and for him to say the food was good is pretty good, because he's picky. He had therapy every day, even on the weekend and he went home in very good shape.

I visited this facility

This is absolutely the most awful rehabilitation facility. My mother was injured there, caregivers are rude snd rough. My mother came out after long term rehabilitation worse than when she went in. In addition she was not given her prescribed medication and her PCP was never informed. You do what you want but If you have a loved one go to Guilford House you should worry.

The facility is seriously understaffed, which taxed both patient and the few attendants enormous hardship, one of which was having only one shower a week for the entire month of her recovery; and the bed was so old and dilapidated, that the duration of our mother's hip recovery was fraught with discomfort. It definitely is not a facility that we will use again.

My father was a patient there in 2019. He received ZERO therapy. At the time I thought he had 90 days via Medicare. They kept telling me my Dad was not ready for therapy. Finally , they informed me that Medicare pays only 21 days. I felt blindsided. My Dad was released and he couldn't walk or stand and when I got my Dad home, I had to call the FD to assist me in getting him into the house. My Dad suffered a intestinal rupture because he was constipated due to lack of movement and he died shortly thereafter.

My Grandmother has only been at the Guilford House for 24hrs. She was hysterical this morning saying she is treated like a leper and they aren’t doing anything, she has just been sitting there. At 11:20 all that had happened was they gave her eggs and had her move her legs a bit with the therapist. I called nurses station right after and they confirmed nurses were behind and there were no vitals or anything written in her chart for the day so far. My gram also said she was given eggs with no beverage of any kind. W…
