    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    West Hill Rehab and Health and Rehab facilities have received a mix of reviews from residents, their families, and staff. Many reviews highlight the facilities as warm, inviting, and family-oriented, providing a loving atmosphere where residents feel at home. The staff is commended for going above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of both residents and their families, with a particular emphasis on maintaining open lines of communication, especially during critical times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

    However, there are also serious concerns raised in some reviews. Complaints include allegations of mistreatment, lack of proper care leading to severe health issues, and a high staff turnover attributed to poor management and working conditions. Specific issues mentioned include untrained staff leading to emergency situations, verbal abuse from administrators, and a lack of basic supplies such as clean linens.

    While some reviews praise the facility for its cleanliness, nutritious meals, and the significant improvement in residents' health and mobility, others describe it as the worst in the area, advising people to avoid placing their loved ones there. There are also claims of staff being encouraged to leave positive reviews to counteract the negative feedback.

    In summary, while West Hill Rehab and Health and Rehab have been lauded for their caring environment and the positive impact on some residents, there are also grave concerns about the quality of care and management practices that potential residents and their families should consider.
