Please avoid this facility, it will be one of your biggest regrets if you allow a family member to stay for even one day there. They will not be taken care of and will suffer emotional abuse due to a lazy, non-caring staff. I recently completed a three day internship at Winder Rehab and I cannot describe how disturbed I was at the treatment that these elderly angels are receiving. I saw developed bed sores, neglected call lights, rude answering of call lights, and a general blind eye to any requests the patients were trying to express. Most of the patients have given up expressing themselves, and seriously just sit all day. I did not see one patient taken for a walk (for exercise) outside, or even down the hall. Under-staffing may have been an issue, but I saw more than one CNA sitting, watching TV, and making personal phone calls while I knew for a fact that there were residents who were in pain or whose call lights were on. The smell of urine, feces, and body odor is overwhelming. There was no fresh air, only old air conditioner units with dust inside them. All the windows are locked shut and air fresheners are sprayed into the air every so often. Every single bathroom reeked like it'd never been cleaned. I could go on, but I feel that it's important that to be honest when situations like the one at Winder Rehab are discovered. Thank you for taking the time to read this and having the courage to face an uncomfortable reality.
