Decatur Rehabilitation and Health Care Center

Our beloved parent has been a resident at Decatur Rehab for quite some time now. During our time with Decatur Rehab we have witnessed administrative changes, nursing and healthcare assistant changes, dietary and laundry aid changes and CHANGE in care philosophy for the better. However, having said this - we still find the care delivery with Decatur Rehab to be subpar in that staff do not have the resources available to provide the care needed. My parent seldom has oral care performed and like other residents is often left in a wet depend until someone is available to provide incontinent care. Resources limit staff in meeting the most basic care needs and the residents suffer. During our routine visits, staff demonstrate a genuine care and concern for the residents but like many LTC Facilities lack the necessary resources to provide the much needed up-to-date interventions to promote longevity and quality of life care. The facility itself is somewhat out-dated and we have concerns regarding the overall safety of the structure. In regards to facility cleanliness, laundry care, resident room and restroom cleanliness - we again find these things to be lacking in creating a positive living environment. For some - this is the last stop on their journey and the overall environment does not meet resident or even staff needs. My siblings and I do not have HCPOA and we are unable to relocate our loved one. Decatur Rehab is not the facility we would have chosen. I would strongly encourage those reading to look elsewhere for long-term care.
