Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews for Life Care Center of Blount County show a mixed range of experiences from past residents and their families. Some have praised the facility for its excellent care, particularly highlighting the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff, the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program, and the clean and well-decorated environment. Positive experiences include making life-long friends, receiving phenomenal physical and occupational therapy, and appreciating the facility's overall ambiance.
However, several reviews raise serious concerns about the level of care provided. Issues cited include neglect, with reports of residents being left unattended for long periods, ignored call buttons, and delayed assistance for basic needs. There are also complaints about medication mismanagement leading to adverse effects on residents' mental states, and a general lack of responsiveness from the staff to residents' needs. Some families have observed a noticeable decline in their loved ones' conditions during their stay, attributing this to inadequate therapy and care. Concerns about the facility being understaffed and management's attitude towards both staff and residents have also been mentioned, suggesting a potentially hostile environment.
Additionally, there are alarming reports of administrative oversights, such as failing to adhere to dietary restrictions leading to hospital readmissions, and a general lack of communication and follow-through on addressing families' concerns. Despite the facility's aesthetically pleasing exterior and recommendations from local hospitals, these reviews suggest that the quality of care and management practices may not meet expectations for all residents and their families.
In summary, while some have had positive rehabilitation experiences at Life Care Center of Blount County, a significant number of reviews highlight critical areas of concern, particularly regarding resident care, staff responsiveness, and management practices. Prospective residents and their families are advised to consider these reviews carefully and possibly seek firsthand experiences before making a decision.
