Giving a 1 star only because O isn’t an option. After a fall helping a friend, my Grandmother needed a couple of weeks to rehabilitate before coming home. Since she lives in Clewiston, this facility was ideal as it was convenient to family and friends. The level of care is great with some of the evening staff, friendly and helpful. However, during the day it’s a different atmosphere. We witnessed my grandmother in clearly visible medical distress and when we brought this to their attention, the head nurse asked what her BP was and accused us of trying to tell her how to do her job. She was very unprofessional and had an “I don’t care” attitude. We then stated that we would call an ambulance and she accused us of threatening her, acting very agitated and told her nurse to just call to have her transported across the street to evaluate her breathing. She told us to “calm her down” and that she was just upset because she knew we would leave. We’ll, of course she did, she was only there for rehabilitation and knew exactly what the situation was. Anyway, after 30 min the EMTs arrived and we’re as horrified as we were at her physical distress. They suspected she was going through a stroke that whole time. After reading these reviews, I can’t believe this place is still in business. I know my Grandma loves her town and wanted to be close and we thought having constant unexpected visitors would ensure a better level of care. These employees have seemingly taken on the attitude that Hitlers concentration camp regime had. They infect each other with their horrible bedside demeanor and god complex. The Supervisory Nurse during the day is not a care giver. She wants a paycheck. She is unprofessional and unskilled. She doesn’t even have the knowledge of common routine medication protocol and manages her people from a computer screen. We were there for 2 days and saw enough. We witnessed neglected residence and the facility itself is neglected and unkempt. The corporation who owns this facility is obviously not involved. This place should be shut down. Please never send your loved one here. Call buttons do not work, they have bugs, the food is horrible and cheap (canned EVERYTHING). Nutrition is clearly not a priority. Fact is, elderly need a certain level of attention and care and if a major event such as heart attack or stroke was happening they had the attitude of “oh well, just one less we have to clean up after.” This medical facility is not monitored or managed. As a HR professional in the medical field, I will be brining this to every major South Florida health care system’s attention in hopes they NEVER recommend Clewiston Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Two days we were there… only two days and it was shocking to see how detached these health care workers were from human compassion. They have infected each other with their lack of humanity. I’m sure an environment only Dr. Mengele of Auschwitz would approve.
