Get directionsI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I had a pretty good opinion of East Lake Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. My father was there for rehab after a fall, and the physical therapists, occupational therapists, and aides were very good. One of the aides actually took me into their Alzheimer's unit to see what it was like, and it was a very nice area. I'm talking about the private pay patients. The cleanliness and everything, we didn't have any concerns about that, but he didn't like the food. They did have some... read more
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident East Lake Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a very nice facility. My wife is getting good service over there. She can't stand and she can't walk, so she doesn't get involved in any of the activities, but they have a nice activities group and they take the residents to various places. They're bringing her down to see my place and to have lunch here. I eat lunch with her and the food is very good.
I am/was a resident of this facility My experience at this facility as a resident was mixed. One thing that was alarming to me was the med errors that happened to me within the first 3 weeks I was there. I always checked the meds I was given, as I know what they should look like and their purpose. Two times I was given medications I did not recognize. I refused them. Another time I was given a double dose of a medication. I accepted only one of the capsules. I reported these events to the Director of Nursing.. I don't know h... read more
I am a friend or relative of a resident I have had basically good experiences with this facilty, nothing is perfect. They are pretty much hands on and the patients dont wait too long for care. I have had experiences where as they say they will do something like go get the patient a bandaid for example and you never see them again, but these are the exceptions not the rule. the nurses for the most part seem caring, some treat it like a job and you can tell and others genuinely care. I would recommend the facility to others th... read more
I visited this facility Not enough staff with the number of seniors that were there when I visited. Took nurses awhile to respond to a senior that had their light on. Other than that place was clean, friendly atmosphere, good activities for the seniors. Did not see an activities board that allowed the seniors to plan ahead but I might of missed it?

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My mother has been there three days. Two of the days I get a call saying she fell trying to go to the bathroom by herself. I walk in and she is sitting in a walker without underwear or pants on. The call light was on for 20 minutes and no one came in to see if something was wrong. Floor was dirty every day that I visited. Patients are served on a styrofoam plate.
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I wouldn’t recommend East Lake; I wasn’t satisfied with the way things were there. I was there every day, and he was taken care of, but when he passed, they started sending me all kinds of bills from there that I don’t feel like we owe. They could be a little cleaner for one thing, and secondly when we took him in there, they didn’t clean. The first months we paid out of pocket because he has a little bit of money in the bank, and then after that Medicaid was supposed to p... read more
I am a friend or relative of resident My mom was admitted Feb 2013. The memory care unit and staff was great but....the forced physical therapy injured her to the point extra staff was needed to help her in and out of bed, so they required that she be moving to the nursing home side. Ugh! This made matters worse. I took her for x-rays on her back and it showed back fractures, which she did not have prior. Thanks physical therapy! Also, my mom's complaints of non-attentiveness in the evening when she pressed the nurse button ... read more
