Staff woke me up at 130 am to sign papers. When I to the nursing station no one had a mask on in the lock down. A piece of a machinery was so loud I could not sleep! A big mistake going there !
I had to spend a month here after 2 weeks in the hospital for an infection in my leg. The staff was amazing. The therapist are amazing and show so much care for you as well as the nurses and the nurses aids.
Think twice. One good person in the whole place.
It bothers me I have to even pick one star. My mom ended up going here because it was the only place out of my “rehab choices” that had a bed. Never again will this place be on my list.If you love someone don’t send them here.
Quite honestly I am very surprised to read the negative reviews. In my experience, the staff was completely professional, I never wanted for anything. I will be going there again on Saturday for short course of rehab for a hip replacement so that I can get into my home.When the woman next to me went home to hospice, I watched the workers clean her spot. There can’t have possibly been one germ left they were so incredibly thorough.I would never have picked Long Ridge Post Acute Care AGAIN if I thought it were lacking in any way.Good luck and blessings.Deborah
The staff is horrendous and their attitude is completely unacceptable. The staff takes 15 minutes to react/acknowledge the call button. I was there visiting my grandmother today and one of the staff members was incredibly rude to her, and myself. I can get into detail but I’d be here writing for hours. Everything you’d expect when you think of that typical nursing home stereotype. Will be transferring soon. Shut this place down.
My mother was a patient under your care and was visually impaired along with other medical needs. She required a special diet and they adjusted the menu as no other facilities had. From housekeeping, food services, social services, and the nursing staff all provided excellent care. They treated my mother as if she was one of the own with respect. I commend your staff. The Evans Family.
Uncompassionate staff, that allow their residents to become disheveled and unkept.My most recent experience while visiting my grandmother was deplorable. I've asked numerous times to have my grandmother moved back to a bed with a window, as nature stiumlates her, after months of requesting, my plea has been ignored. I've asked for a simple haircut to be given to my grandmother and again nothing has been done for months. When I walked into my grandmother's room, I could hardly recognise her, this whole experience has broken my heart. The photo I posted is not to embrasse or humiliate my darling grandmother, it speaks for itself a volume of words.Kathy the weekend supervisor from my personal experience is heartless and violates HIPPA by talking about residents and their health conditions with both of the office doors open so the entire lobby area can hear. I have filed a complaint with that state regarding this matter.As per the facility the rooms look as if they haven't been updated since the 90's. Residents scattered in the hallway seem to be confused and staff/nurses ingnor them.Over all Long Ridge Care is all smoke and mirrors, big promises when residents first arrive and then the reality of neglagance appears after a few weeks of being there. I do not recommend this facility.
This place NEEDS to be SHUT DOWN! Not only do they steal patients belongings but because of their negligence my father ended up in ICU. A man who served his country and our city for nearly 50 years did NOT deserve the disgraceful, disrespectful treatment he received at this so called facility.
Excellent care from all staff. Marion Najamy (the administrator) has assembled a top-notch team. Master chefs, first rate rehab, A recreation team that thinks out-of-the-box and a director of nurses who carefully monitors everything. Social workers who really care. The list goes on. The building is very well-run, clean and is a place I like to call home for my mom.Thank you Ms. Najamy!
I had my mom moved from another skilled nursing home to Long Ridge Skilled Nursing due to the first place was unable to help my mom.THANK GOD for this move.I can not say enough good things about Long Ridge Skilled Nursing.Carolyne Whallon who managed the floor my mom was on, always a pleasure to work with gave me so much information on the care of my mom to assist me as when she came home I would be the sole caregiver.Any concerns I had she would elevate them to the proper person to a speedy resolve.I was scared about my mom coming home as I had no idea what was needed. But thanks to everyone who cared for my mom they also cared for me. They gave me the knowledge I would need to make this happen.By the time my mom was scheduled to be released I felt so in power with all the new knowledge I had received the only thoughts I had were of joy of her coming home.My mom's progress was nothing short of miraculous. Making her care for me so much easier.The physical and occupational therapists did an outstanding job. Never giving up inspiring my 96 year old mother to keep progressing and to return to the best she could be.Sean and Kelly worked so will together my mom really had the best care ever. I can truly say they treated us like family and the care that was given you could not put a price on. Also they took the time to help me know what I could do at home to continue the process.The nurse practisioner (so sorry I can't recall name shame on me ) was over and above involved with my mom's care. Her professional recommendations really changed my mom's life. Her care of my mom was right on target not to mention the follow-ups checking on my mom through out her stay.The personal care the aids Mary and Marie took in keeping my mom clean and well feed, learning my mom's tastes and taking a special interest in all levels of care.When she came to Long Ridge she had a rash from the previous nursing home it was GONE in less than 3 days.As I visited her every day at different times I was always pleased to see how clean and well kept she was.No matter how small the issue it was resolvedwith a smile and a willingness to help.The man working as maintenance, who swapped out moms TV to make sure she could see better, to the man who helped me turn on the big TV in the dinning hall.My mother was not an easy patient but some how they all made it work.My mom Ann Sorese and I thank you for all your excellent care.
My mom went to Long Ridge Healthcare after an injury at home that required rehab. This place is terrible, dirty, sub-par nursing, indifferent aides, she never saw a doctor during her stay, the nurse practitioner should have her license taken away. After staying at Long Ridge for 8 days she was transferred to Stamford Hosp with pneumonia, dehydration, renal failure, low blood sugar and low blood pressure. She was transferred because I noticed she seemed ill, the staff there thought she was fine. I wouldn't let my dogs stay there.
