Review of Powerback Rehabilitation Lakewood

I was at Powerback Lakewood for almost 2 weeks, departing mid December 2015. I had a Total hip replacement and live alone thus the need for inpatient rehab. I am very lucky as I had family and numerous friends to make sure I had what I needed. I was fully capable of requesting what I needed. Obtaining what I needed was, at times, impossible.

Friends……do not go to this facility unless you have no alternative. The food is inedible. The only way the food could be this bad is if a deliberate effort was made to prepare awful food. 1970's TV dinners would have been much better than the junk these folks put out. My pain meds were messed up 2 times leaving me in total agony. No worries they apologized. One time I caught a mistake in the medication I was given….a duplicate dose was offered. Numerous times nurses left narcotic pain killers with me without watching me take the medication. Not an issue with me. If I was a depressed person I could have OD'd on these meds. When frustrated with my requests they failed to answer the call button….I believe this is not legal. They do have some physical therapists who care and do a good job. Nonetheless this facility failed with basic care on a daily basis. In the end I did get some physical therapy that was helpful. I got nearly 2 weeks of time to heal before returning home. Other than that………the care was a huge disappointment. I suggest you avoid this facility.
