  Worst place ever. I pulled my Mom out of this filthy facility after 12 days of fighting with the Drs to have ANY kind of tests done and mainly Nurse DaSneezya about giving her wrong as well as harmful medications. They had only realized WHY she was there on the 9th day. Their floors were absolutely FILTHY even after it was ‘allegedly’ reported the floors were never cleaned. Their carpets in the hallways are filthy as well. That along with Nurse DaSneezya Godlike attitude is why I took my Mom out of this place. They would have surely killed her had I not intervened. I’ve reported it to their ‘quality’ controllers but the floors and attitudes are likely STILL just as nasty. ( I went and bought Swiffer to clean the ‘sanitized’ room. See photos)..additionally- EDIT: I spoke with the manager while she was there. No results; meds still wrong, DeSneezy still copped a hatful attitude towards me. The pictures are AFTER it was reported. I cleaned/disinfected the room myself.& the floors No one ‘reached out to me’ afterwards, except to send a number of bills - for a Dr who didn’t even know WHY she was there. (I had to corner him and explain it on 8th day) I also have copies of where they were adding and mismanaging her medicines.

  Update: The response from the facility is total BS. No one ever contacted me to discuss the issues we had leaving me to believe they really do not care one bit about improving. If you love your family member don't send them here. The employees act like they hate their jobs, don't want to be there and are doing you a favor if they actually do help.

  Don’t let the beautiful building and area of town fool you. I wouldn’t take my dog here. My mother was here for skilled nursing and rehab for 20 days. With the exception of a couple of nurses the care was awful. She was yelled at by staff to get up and go to bathroom with no assistance and some help was ugly to her which I did address but I was very disappointed at the lack of care, bad attitudes and not enough nurses. Oh and when I brought her home I found a very bad bruise on her upper arm from being grabbed and pulled on in the bed.

  If no stars was an option I would have opted for that. The Birmingham location is horrible. The nursing staff don’t care about patients. The director of clinical services doesn’t care what the nursing staff do. They don’t like to be asked questions. They don’t answer the phone. They don’t know that a fall risk patient shouldn’t be left unattended. They lie and say they provide assistance for ADL’s and don’t. If you act like you care about your loved ones therapy care plan they make sure to do therapy when you are not around. If you can’t stay 24/7 with your loved one I wouldn’t waste time sending my them here trusting the will care for a patient. Not clean. Diet restrictions they don’t care. Just piss poor attitude and it show in the quality of care.
