I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My son is in a nursing home and rehab called The Rehabilitation Center of Independence. I like the two people that are doing rehab on him very well. They're very concerned and they don't give up on him, and he likes them. My son's room is kept clean. He is down at the end of the hall by himself, and that's even better. He has his mail furnished, and his medication is given to him. They check his blood sugar three times a day, so they do all that. I've had some issues with them, I have addre…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My family member was given the wrong medications before. (given someone else's medications) I have also visited her and taken her to the bathroom and found that she had on two pull-up diapers.

The nurse call buttons are POINTLESS to have here because the nursing staff is usually too busy looking at their phones to help residents.

I visited this facility

This was one of the few places I toured that did not have a foul odor while walking around. Staff was pleasant and helpful. I was told this facility was under new management and they were informative on the changes they were making to improve!

The furniture in the facility is very basic and obsolete. The televisions are an old monitor type without a remote control. The televisions cannot be turned up loud enough for even a person with normal hearing. The residents have to wait extended periods of time when they use the call buttons because the nursing staff is not adequate for the number of beds they have to serve. The meals are worse than a nightmare grade school lunch. There are a lot of meals that the residents cannot eat and the food is just thrown a…
