Review of Apple Rehab Saybrook

2 Star User Review

I had high hopes. Mom had been there twice before after hospital stays. She has a progressive dementia and in the past two months has lost her ability to stand. We had decided to place her there long term and they were very welcoming. I was very impressed with so many of the staff. She began in rehab and then was suddenly moved to a room in long term. Her roommate was not compatible - advanced Alzheimer's and rather noisy…poor soul. Apparently Mom began yelling back at night and the nursing home decided it was not the place for her. Although I asked for a simple room change which I think would have been very helpful. The social worker told me they were not equipped to handle dementia patients. ???? It seems to me they are very well equipped and have many of them - some much more advanced than Mom.

They will transfer her in two days. A good thing in one way because hopefully she will have a more compatible roommate. But I feel they were being dishonest with me about the reason for transferring her and this really bothers me.
