What a stroke of luck that I found this place and there was a vacancy. University Care Center is like a well oiled machine. There is very little turnover with the staff so it is very well run and they are all just wonderful people. In my 4 week stay I felt like part of a family and feel I have made friends for life. The building itself is older, but very well maintained. The physical and occupational therapy staff who I worked with every day, is first rate. The staffs for nursing, social services, activities, administrati... read more
I feel very lucky to have chosen this place. I spent 3 weeks there after a bi-lateral knee replacement and a 3 day stay at a "Dump". My wife could not get me transferred before I had lost 30 degrees in my range of motion. Thank UCC Admissions for assisting Kelly in the transfer. First, I have to thank the Physical (& Occupational) Therapy department. Everyone of you did something for me. Your teamwork and camaraderie made me envious, wishing I was in the family. Great leadership. Special thanks to Dan and Eric. You ... read more
This facility was my home for 6 days as I recovered from a full knee replacement. The staff was friendly and caring. I had a room to myself and it had a nice view of the courtyard and grounds. The PT team was professional and loved their clients. I felt I made great strides in my recovery by staying here.
This place needs to be shut down. This is the worse most disgusting skilled nursing facility I have ever visited.
Do not bring people you care about to this place. I don't know how they are able to maintain their license. The building is old and dirty. One could write one's name in the dust. The nursing staff is questionable. The meals are not healthy and nutritious. I'm adding photos of the typical dinner. This is the place where nightmares are created. My heart breaks each time I visit my loved one. Currently looking for another place. Please shop around for a place that is clean, safe, and comfortable for humans. This place is runni... read more
Oh my gosh! My husband was given this as an option after a short hospital stay to complete his recovery, and as it was a Friday and we had little time to "shop around" we picked the one with the best ratings. I'm not sure who wrote the reviews but they were far from our experience. This place is like something you'd see on a hidden camera expose, that you couldn't believe was true. From the minute we were shown to what would be his room, until we left without even registering I felt there was no way I'd leave even someone I ... read more
The patients don't get the medication on time. They're always in pain.The nurses don't follow instructions
The worst place ever!! My mom was there for a short while and almost died from neglect! Lots of lip service from the nurses, but no one follows through. A complaint to the State is pending!
The reviews posted are a smoke screen cover for a dismal experience with a poorly run institution. Rarely will you see an RN or LPN (except if they do not "overlook" your medications) in the room, and never an actual doctor. The CNAs are heroically doing their best, and the PT department is top notch. But the rest of the staff prefaces their duties with "we don't", "we don't haves," "we can't", "you have to talk to," excuses. Help and care is consistently passed to someone else who never shows up. There must be much bett... read more
