Severe Medical Neglect, Unsanitary Conditions, and Unsafe Staffing Ratios—Do Not Send Your Loved Ones Here If you care about the safety and dignity of your family member, avoid this facility at all costs. Our family experienced catastrophic neglect that resulted in an emergency hospitalization and life-threatening conditions for my aunt. Here are the specific, documented issues encountered during her stay: Severe Medical Neglect & Infection: My aunt developed an unaddressed Stage 3 bed sore that became severely infected. Despite showing clear signs of distress and blood in her stool, facility staff failed to respond or intervene. Emergency Response Failure: During a family visit, my aunt was crying out in agony with zero assistance from staff. The facility failed to call emergency services. Family had to call 911 directly. Upon admission to the ER, she had a 100.5°F fever, a heart rate of 180, abnormal lab work, and was evaluated for sepsis directly linked to her infected pressure wound, along with heart failure complications. Lack of Basic Hygiene & Care: Staff forced my aunt to wear diapers rather than assisting her to the restroom because it was "easier." She was routinely left sitting in soiled diapers for hours until family members had to step in and change her themselves. Ignored Call Lights: Staff members explicitly admitted to us that they have too many patients to manage, resulting in call buttons being completely ignored when pressed. Safety & Falls: She fell out of bed while under their care, and staff brushed it off as non-consequential. Unsanitary Environment: Food service is deeply concerning—we have photographic evidence of insects on her lunch tray. This facility is actively failing its duty of care. Her hospital transfer was the direct result of systemic negligence. Please look elsewhere for long-term or rehabilitative care.

Hello. After 4 years of my visits to this rehab center this center still remains to me extremely great and pristine and wonderful in their care and understanding. Start with my nurses Shannon-Beatrice and Gabriel they are top notch. Aides like Ann John-Sandra- and my dear Jeanette ♥️ let's not forget Paula. For my therapist. Theo (who is relentless) i am still working with him. The entire staff- kudos to all. Evan and Ellen top notch. Please continue to do what you all do best. Thanks.
Donetta, CNA is a very good aid who takes great care of my needs and I have a lot she does a fantastic job of keeping me clean and is on point with everything I need oh what a pleasant person she is in making us feel better with that smile she has. Great job to her. Dawn is the conceirge who helped me find my missing clothes that were missing for three weeks. Shannen, RN is very diligent and very attentive. I appreciate her coming up to check up to me almost every hour because not many people do that. Whenever I request something, she keeps her promises and delivers right away. She has a very nice personality and has the brightest smile. Theo, OT is wonderful in his practice. He has helped to rehabilitate me from not being able to get up on my own and using a lift to get out of bed to being able to walk with a walker. He has a very pleasant attitude and motivates me to do my best even when I don't believe in myself. Jon, PT is very knowledgeable and is a dream team with Theo. Marie D., CNA was very helpful in assisting me to go to the bathroom. That is something that I usually struggle in, but she made it easy for me! Jeanette, CNA attends to my needs. I often call for help and she comes right away. She has a very positive attitude and I love chatting with her. Shout-out to Gail.
Priya (social worker) there, has been absolutely amazing from the day my mom was brought there last year ! I also had to bring another family member there in April, and again, Priya was on top of her game! She is patient, thoughtful and caring. She is responsive to questions and makes herself totally available. Livingston Post Acute is very lucky to have her on staff. Thank you, Priya, for all you do! We also want to thank the following people for their care and service: -Nurse Beatrice helping my step mom recover on the 2nd floor. She is warm and caring and concerned for her patients. -CNA Sandra and Ana for the same warm care and service. The staff at LPA is attentive and helpful. They really try to be supportive and help push their patients in a good way to improve. - Roxanna for putting together the lunches for those on the 3rd floor and always being loving to her patients. Roxanna has been a fabulous addition and has helped the patients with more engagement. -Evan for amazing OT ! So supportive and caring! -Sakina for running the 3rd floor. She is always available and attentive and caring. Sakina makes sure my mom is taken care of and always communicates with me when needed. Communication is key, and Sakina is on point. -Nicole and Fredlyne for taking care of my mom on the 3rd floor. Mom always seems happy and cared for and her room always looks clean and well maintained. Thanks to all of you!! Oh…. I can’t forget the front desk with wonderful Shanda!! She is just the best— warm, friendly and pleasant to work with!
My mom has been receiving amazing physical rehabilitation with the PT/OT team here. Between therapists Evan and Victor, she has been making great progress. She is excited to have a team who is invested in improving her mobility with every session, and she is confident that she will return to her previous level of functioning with their support. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation for the attention and care provided by two nursing support staff team members, Sandra and Jamill. They are BY FAR two of the most attentive, patient, and responsive nursing support staff that my mom has had care for her throughout all of her healthcare encounters at various facilities. It is my sincere hope that they are recognized and revered for being the phenomenal caregivers that they are.
