My dad is currently there for rehab after breaking his leg. ( he does have a bunch of other health issues) Hes only there because thats the one his insurance would cover. has been there for weeks. We have had nothing but trouble since from day one. Things like over medication. Refusing him medication he has taken for years because they said he is allergic to it. It took 4 days to get them to give it to him. Then their doctor not his. Theirs cut his dose in half. Never scheduling him to see an orthopaedist and when they finally did. They messed up getting him seen TWICE. Left him in a broken bed for 3 days because maintenance doesnt work weekends. On a daily basis they are Extremely slow to answer his bell for assistance ( well over an hour) to the point Ive had to go hunt somebody down only to be told oh alot of people are on lunch and blown off. Eventually i looked up the number and called the front desk and they got somebody in there. Now his therapy progress report is totally wrong so his insurance wont pay anymore. It says he can stand with help. He hasnt stood or been allowed to put weight on his leg since hes been there! IT IS BROKEN! In a splint and broken clean through both bones right above his ankle. I cant think of anyone who would be standing in that condition. Theyve gotten meals wrong and fed him things hes allergic to. Hes had a cd player. Phone and electric razor go missing. Which coincidentally were the only things hes had there that were remotely close to worth stealing. I will admit i have seen about a handful of the staff that treats the patients like they know them personally. But the rest treat it like an old person wharehouse. When you talk to the administration all you get is run around. They say all the right things but nothing changes. I WOULD SERIOUSLY AVOID SENDING YOUR FAMILY THERE IF ITS AT ALL POSSIBLE. Its hard knowing you have no choice but to have your loved ones in a place that you wouldnt let take care of your dog. The one star i gave is light years more than they deserve but it made me give one..... First lets get something straight. Its not we have had its WE ARE HAVING! second you have been talked to about it no less than once a week since hes been there. And NOTHING has gotten better. Thats not an exaggeration. Literally nothing! Then you come on here and give that reply so it looks like you care to people reading these reviews. I have to say. Thats kind of insulting when like i said before you say all the right things just to shut the families up follow through on NOTHING

This place is the bottom of the barrel, and quite frankly, dangerous to patients. My Mom was there only for a brief spell in 2003, and in a matter of a few weeks, the nurses at Manorcare overdosed her so severely on Haldol, that she suffered permanent brain damage: diagnosed as drug-induced Parkinsons. Mina went from walking, talking/conversing , dancing ,singing, self-grooming, laughing, writing, etc., to: comatose 23 hours a day, bedridden, and literally dying of dehydration. She had even lost the ability to swallow, and was being fed by G-tube. My brother had no idea what those nurses were doing. I had to fly out from California to rescue her. Or what was left of her. I found out later that all the locals know that being sent there is a death sentence. People die of neglect or worse there, inside of a year. I have now had my Mom for almost 6 years here in CA. I have made some progress improving her swallow reflex, and awakened her from her induced coma - in fact, when UCLA just re-hydrated her, she woke up. But the damage was done. Mom lost walking, talking, and just about everything else. Those nurses robbed Mom of her quality of life. I tried to complain, but no one would listen - no one cares about old people, they assume their lives are over. NO STARS - I only picked one since otherwise this website would not accept this posting. This place should be shut down. Anyone who wishes to, can contact me at: highamplitude(at)gmail(dot)com.

RUN! FAR WAY FROM THIS DEATH SENTENCE FOR YOUR LOVED ONE! I worked for them, and i know for a fact, that the nurses are trained for days, not weeks, not a month or two, but days. Their nurses come right out of school, some of them just 1 year of training as an LPN, and right into your loved ones rooms, with absolutely no experience whatsoever. I have personally seen a nurse feed a patient that not only was on a feeding tube, but the sign above her said NPO (nothing by mouth). She gave her a spoon of liquids and the patient nearly choked to death. They forget meds, leaving them in the draw wilting away in applesauce and the next shift just throws it out, never knowing who didnt get their vital medication the shift before. I heard nurses say during report, "do you think hell die on my shift, damn thats alot of paperwork". Run far away, hopefully the state will shut them down, the one in Easton, PA is pure hell, just a waiting place to die.

It should be called Manor Dont Care. What a horrible place. Think twice before you admit your loved one into their care. From the first day they made it perfectly clear that my father was not welcome there. The place is short staffed and they kept my father sedated. They called me multiple times a day to complain about my fathers behavior. Shame on the entire staff, Shame on the administrator and shame on Megan the case worker for the horrible treatment. They made up a story to get rid of my father and took him to Easton Hospital. They said he was welcome back but eventually they had him re-evaluated and they had Eason Hospital call me to tell me he was not welcome back. Surprise Surprise!!

The aids verbally mocked my husbands roommate, who, by the way has a PhD. Short staffed. I spoke with the head of this Manor Care on more than one occasion. She downplayed every instance I told her about. She got noticable upset when I told her they were short staffed, denying it, and wouldnt discuss it any ufrhter. In my opinion, they are a lost cause, with no inspiration to improve.

Called them this afternoon because my nana was crying because she wasnt up and out of bed this place went above and beyond to get my nana up and out of bed. I appreciate it and being that my nana got a new chair we were able to find out that the new chair will be evaluated by rehab. Tommorow thank you

Some of nurses can be very nasty.. Seems like they care more about the money then the patients care.. If you dont like your job i suggest that you find a diffrent career.
