Keepingup With Z
I wouldn't recommend sending any of my loved ones here even if was the last place on earth. They use old batteries on the machine lifts and the wrong colored batteries on the lifts. Many residents has either fallen from these machines due to lack of batteries or even stuck in the air for 30+minutes. There have been many infestations of bed bugs on 3east on numerous of separate occasions. They wouldn't do much to the rooms but spray bug spray and continue on with there day. Half of the staff is always high on the job but the supervisors don't care cause they are very short of staff and the need the bodies so they'll put the residents last and take who they can get. Food from the kitchen sometimes is raw and when you take it to the kitchen so the can remake the food it's always met with an attitude. The people that they hire could care less about the job all the employees are only there for one thing which is a paycheck. There were a few residents that turned up with mysterious bruises and no one knew what happened, no proper investigations were done and no faced consequences. The whole facility is a joke. I wouldn't trust these people with a piece of paper.

DO NOT send your loved one here.I have seen mice and bed bugs. Bad bug infastations in rehab residence and no one says anything. People need to check on their loved ones for bites about the hair line, legs and ankles. The buildings have bad infestations, and the problem can not be cured by bug spray. Please look into this ASAP!! They depend on the dementia of the patient to forget about such things, and then they don't have to worry about them. It's a gigantic cover-up. Instead of them helping to rehab your loved one, they do less and less. You can press your emergency pendant as a resident, and the alarm will not be responded to during the shift change. Clearly, your loved one is not a priority when someone wants to leave for the day.Your loved one will be walking in, and in very little time will be completely wheelchair ridden. No one to keep them in activities. The front desk rarely is updated on where activities are held. Some of the employees reek of Marijuana. The poor receptionist is basically left to wing it because there is no communication to help them guide the resident. I have seen the reception supervisor(Samantha)demean her staff and holler at the residents like they are her children to sign in and out with such disrespect , it is disgusting. She speaks to others such as staff and residents, with such an air of grandiosity, making them feel inferior, manipulating them with her sense of entitlement. If you truly value your loved ones, you will find a different place for them to reside!
