Family reviews

Here is my review on caring.com February 23, 2022 By caregiverformom1 I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I gave them one star out of five We brought Mom to the Rehab Center at Salemtowne and at first glance, the rooms were beautiful and staff were helpful. Within one day, we were complaining daily of lack of showers, lack of cleanliness of my Mom, long wait time for assistance, and our Christmas Holiday 2021 turned into our family nightmare! No MD visit for 4 days from admission. No daily PT as promised. Housekeeping found Mom unresponsive upside down face planted in bed. Ambulance to hospital ended her stay. If you care about your loved one, avoid this place at all costs.
