My mother was at this facility 9 years ago for 2 1/2 months.
From working there 2 years at orchard cove and then moving down to the hospital I can officially say. Do not send your loved ones here. All the aides are underpaid and the management is attrocious. It's grimy and dirty and when I walked through the halls it smelled of death on every floor. You're not going to find good food as they are trying to cut back on the cost of it and the aids are so understaffed that your loved one will not get the attention they need.
If you have a family member needing a LTAC facility DO A ON SITE VISIT before you are stuck there. South Davis could have changed for the better in the last 9 years but they would have to tear the building down and rebuild before I would put another family member there again.
First off, the aides and nurses ( of course not all) are very unsanitary, careless of the residents needs. The aides and nurses are neglectful, and would rather chat about there lives. Nurses are extremely over paid and aides underpaid. They drive the best aides out, and call them back when they are short, then drive them out again. The RT's roll there eyes every time the have to get off the chair. If people had the guts to speak up, they would have sexual harassment charges due to a "higher up"
At the time we were extremely appalled by what they deemed patient care and rehabilitation. My mother was on a vent but fully cognizant. She could not speak due to the vent. When pushing the call help button most of the time would go unanswered. They expected her to just lay in a bed with absolutely no physical therapy. She lost 15 pounds in one week due to the horrendous excuse for nutritional meals. There were dirty dishes everywhere all the time at every visit. Other patients freely walked in and out of my mothers room and one patient physically assaulted my mom. I was not told of this until my mom could write it down for me. When confronted by it the administration blew me off. The administration acted like my mother was going to be there the rest of her life. It looked and felt like a warehouse not a hospital to get people better.
A great place with a wonderful staff.
I am writing this now because my mother is in a different LTAC facility and there is a night and day difference. The current facility in Boise is clean, quiet, physical therapy as well as respiratory therapy to get off the vent are a huge part of the care. Meals are full as well as appropriate for her. They have communications devices for my mom so that she can tell them and her family her needs and wants.
Extremely dirty hospital, not a place I'd recommend working or keeping a family member. A lot of the CNAs who work here are teenagers and act like such. They'll be talking in the hallways before answering a call light for a patient. The LTAC unit however is absolutely amazing which is why I give it 2 stars Instead of one, the staff are attentive and on top of everything.
