The staff was very rude, and didnt seem motivated to take my aunt to the bathroom, the shift nurse offered excuses, but I insisted and then she had a nurse put her in the bed pan. The reception people on he first floor were very professional, the staff on the 5th floor was very Unprofessional! I hit the wrong key I meant to rate them a 2!! I will be back soon and I hope that I see some improvement

My experience wasnt as pleasant as some of these comments. I must agree the physical therapy team was very attentive, caring and helpful. However, I believe the nursing staff needs adequate training. My father was a resident at Fort Tryon. One night he became very ill in my presence. He complained he wasnt feeling well then he started screaming but didnt make any sense, he was very confused. I called the nurse on duty & she quickly examined him. She said his chart showed his sugar had been very high which is probably why he was confused. She said he was already given insulin and

Truly disappointed with the service from staff members in this facility. It is difficult to get a hold of any of the nurses and you will get transferred many times or hung up on. The physical therapy team are the only decent ones. It takes hours to give your loved one any meals you drop off for them and they will leave them sitting in their filth almost all day before someone comes to clean them. Management needs to look into these issues and the growth of patients!

I've been to the facility many times prior to COVID-19. Prior to COVID 19 I recall walking into the lobby and everyone being so kind and greeting me. I love the staff there. They truly care for their residents. There is two kind of people in this world, the ones that go to work to get a check and the ones that actually care. Workers there actually care. They treat the resident's like they're supposed to be treated; like humans not diseases.
Wherever Fort Tryon goes I will always be a supporter of the facility.

Fort Tryon Rehab is a great place to bring your family members to. I've had several family members stay short term and they were pleased. Staff members are great. Yes of course there might be a day someone is having a bad day but that's in any place you go to. Reading some of the reviews left here I came to the conclusion that some people just want to do what they want. If your family is not medically ready to go home the doctors are going to disagree. Is not because they want your family member to stay but medically is UNSAFE. Everyday there is someone that needs a bed in a nursing home so I highly
