    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of Augusta Rehabilitation and Wellness Center show a mix of experiences. Some visitors and patients have praised the center for its excellent care, particularly after orthopedic surgery, noting the helpfulness of the physical, occupational, and speech therapies in aiding recovery. The staff has been described as supportive, attentive, and treating patients with the care they would give their own family members. Improvements and positive changes in recent months have been acknowledged, and the center is commended for its cleanliness, friendly workers, and the comfort it provides to its residents.

    On the other hand, there are significant concerns raised about the facility's condition and staff behavior. Some reviews describe the center as outdated, with a noticeable unpleasant odor, and mention issues with pests such as silverfish. There are alarming reports of neglect and rude behavior from some nursing staff, including an instance of a nurse being physically abusive towards a resident. The management's attitude and response to these issues have also been criticized.

    Despite these mixed reviews, many have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, especially to visitors. The holiday spirit and decorations have been highlighted as positive aspects, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. However, some visitors have encountered problems with staff over enforcement of mask policies, describing interactions as unnecessarily confrontational.

    In summary, while there are numerous accounts of positive experiences and commendations for the care provided, there are also serious concerns about the facility's condition and some staff members' behavior that potential residents and their families may want to consider.
