What did you like least about your stay? What could we improve?
Food

Nov 25, 2020Family Member

Do you have any comments, suggestions or concerns you'd like to tell me?
The food. The taste is bland. Either burnt rolls or flattened out toast. It is the preparation and the taste which really lacks.

Nov 19, 2020Family Member

Do you have any comments, suggestions or concerns you'd like to tell me?
I do not have electronic devices, so they have to call me on the telephone. I don't always know the most recent things that are going on. I have nobody to speak to directly in there. When I get somebody, they're very good about giving me some information eventually, but it's clearly not part of their usual job.

Oct 27, 2020Patient

What did you like best about your stay? What did we do well?
The nurses and CNA's that treated me were about the best. Your food that should have been hot would have been much better if it were.

Oct 21, 2020Patient

What did you like best about your stay? What did we do well?
My mom's rehab at Harrington Court was OK. The staff was good but my mom could not advocate herself and was after left alone in her room. There were times she wanted Kleenex, a soda or water and I worried she was not able to get what she needed. I received no day to day reports, just weekly.

What did you like best about your stay? What did we do well?
My therapists were very understanding

Oct 16, 2020Family Member

Do you have any comments, suggestions or concerns you'd like to tell me?
I think that they've been doing excellent. Considering that they've kept the CoVid out of home for quite a while and they did a great job. They were concern with us. so they kept us safe as well. And when it was safe, they allowed my husband and I to go and visit my Mother.

Oct 16, 2020Family Member

Do you have any comments, suggestions or concerns you'd like to tell me?
My mother is difficult to get along with, so the thing is she is becoming sweeter and friendlier than when she was first in there. She didn't want to be there, but now she's comfortable.

Aug 03, 2020Patient

What did you like best about your stay? What did we do well?
The responsiveness of the evening and night nursing staff and assistants when I needed help. This was less existent with the day staff. The majority of staff and therapists were friendly, courteous and helpful. It would've been helpful to be told that each person was only allowed the walk in one's room only.

Sep 04, 2019Patient

What did you like best about your stay? What did we do well?
I was thrilled that I chose Harrington Court for Rehab. Almost everyone had a smile. The Nursing staff and CNA'S are wonderful! The Housecleaning staff were awesome. Thank you all so much. The physical therapy department was exceptional. When I left I knew what to do to help myself. When the home visiting agency came in I didn't need the OT part. PT will come more when I can attempt the stairs. So a special thank you to all the great staff in PT. I could not be where I am today without your help.
