This establishment is far from suitable for placing your loved ones. The management seems indifferent to the mistreatment of clients, and the employees lack the necessary knowledge and skills to provide proper service. It simply is a matter of taking money for services that will not be provided and knowing that there is nowhere else in this area that is not a sistered establishment that has a vacancy available. They will fill the bed and nothing else will be done to correct this ongoing disregard for the safety and care of the patients.
I am in Frontier Rehab because I have a bad knee. The entire staff is super. The food is so good a great variety. I can't walk right now but I am receiving great care. 7/3/2025 The staff does their best but this place is under staffed. I have had to wait up to three hours to get pain medications. It is BAD!
My mother was admitted here after two weeks in the hospital with various issues (COPD flare up, a broken arm from a fall, pneumonia all at the same time) - as I and other family live quite far to provide care. We thought this would be a much better alternative to the hospital, unfortunately that isn’t the case. My mom has been texting me how awful the care has been, she’s already been neglected, not being given pain medications (she has broken bones, seriously?) and she sits in agony yelling for help. Totally ignored. This was so heartbreaking to hear, I had hoped this place would have helped my mother heal. I wouldn’t recommend putting your loved one here.
We found the nurses and CNAs very responsive. Care was good, especially given the outbreak of Covid. The food was adequate but not good. No flavor and bland. We were not pleased that Dr. Randal did not show up until the day of discharge. Henry was there for 12 days, and we met the doctor the afternoon of discharge. This is unacceptable. If he has too many patients, we would suggest he utilize his assistant to a greater degree. We specifically asked that meds we already had not be filled. They were filled anyway. Again, care from the nurses and CNAs was great. Also therapy and the social worker. They were great.
I’ve had a few family members stay in the frontier. The staff was very friendly and courteous and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who asks. Thank you Frontier Rehab for taking such good care of both of my Aunts. You guys rock!!!
