I am researching Acute Rehabilitation Centers and am wondering if anyone has recent experiences, good or bad, with Adventist Rehab in Rockville or Silver Spring; George Washington Hospital, Medstar National Rehab Center or Virginia Hospital Center. Thank you. |
Not those facilities, but look at the ratings on Medicare.gov and somewhat discount the more subjective measures like about being at expected level when discharged. I made a spreadsheet when I had to compare facilities for a relative in another location. Staffing level is important. I think there's also a website where you can look up sanctions from Medicare. |
Years ago I heard negative reviews on Adventist but they may have improved. |
Two years ago I spent 10 days at Adventist Shady Grove. The care was excellent: When you called for help, someone arrived promptly, and the PT's were very good.
BUT all the rooms were doubles, and there were televisions for all with no headphones. I almost left on day 3 because of that, but they kindly transferred me to a different room with a non tv-watching roommate. |
I think Adventist White Oak might have private rooms. Both facilities have a good reputation. They are covid-cautious, do ask if your loved one will be required to mask.
NRH is supposed to be good, too. Do t know anything about the others. |
My spouse was at Mount Vernon for a month. Wonderful care. Tip- if patient has a CPAP machine, they get a single room! |
