As I’m writing this review, I’ve been on “hold” for 49 minutes waiting to speak with a nursing supervisor. My mother in law was picked up on Friday, with the intent of bringing her home for REAL nursing care. To my amazement, she was NEVER afforded the ability to even use a bedside commode to eliminate her bowels. SEVEN WEEKS of minimal bowel elimination, REALLY EARLWOOD?!?! Seems that the basic needs (Maslow’s theory) was NOT met! Bedsore on her heel, to which only betadine was used, again REALLY??!! Food served c…

This place is absolutely awful. They only care about money. The only staff member that is wonderful is Brenda. Brenda deserves five stars for herself. This place deserves absolutely no stars. They would not release what medications they were giving her unless they were threatened to be reported. When they gave us the medication list they had given her medication she was highly allergic to for two weeks, and she had gone into anaphylactic shock more than once. They are awful and the doctor on staff is highly incompe…

I work in the health care industry and have seldom been so comprehensively appalled by the operations of a presumptive skilled nursing facility. Communications with patients and responsible parties are nearly non-existent, staff take absolutely no responsibility for any actions, and senior nursing sta…

I liked The Earlwood, and they were really nice to my mom. They were great, the people and the visiting doctors are really nice, and the nurses would come right away. But it was expensive.

My wife has been in good care at The Earlwood Care Center, and the people there have been very caring and loving and treating her well. She has been there for four months now, and she is quite happy. I've been there at mealtime quite often, and she eats well. The food is satisfactory. They do have some activities, and the doctor comes to the facility once a week.
