Review of Norriton Square Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

1 Star User Review

PowerBack does not handle the physical rehabilitation needs of those with dementia or alzheimers. These people need more one on one care …… PowerBack does not offer that. The physical re-conditioning may consist of one half hour twice a day. The remainder of the day (other than meal times) the patient is left sitting in a wheel chair by the nurses station. This benefits the nurses so that they can continue their desk duties and still keep an eye on patients who may be at risk for falls. Remaining in the wheelchair, however, does nothing for the physical re-conditioning portion. Eventually, when it appears that the medical insurance will no longer cover the patient, PowerBack declares that the patient is ready to be discharged. The irony is that the patient may be physically weaker than ever, due to sitting too long in a wheelchair. The only one who has benefited (financially) is PowerBack. The insurance carrier gets charged as well as the patient for any unpaid monies. Do your homework before going to PowerBack or placing a loved one in PowerBack. If PowerBack was honest up front they would admit that they do not have the staff to accommodate patients with mental impairments.
