I spent 19 days at Montowese following a hospital stay. Despite the fact that they were short staffed, the staff that was there was attentive and caring. I had a problem with a nurse on the first day I was there, and it was taken care of immediately by the head of the nursing staff. The PT and OT departments were excellent, And both social work and psychology staff were available to speed the healing process. The food was actually quite good especially the eggplant parm! I came home feeling strengthened both emotionally and physically. I gave a four rating rather than a five because I found that

This rehab place is a joke. My husband was sent there from the hospital and did not get any better. Now they are kicking him out due to insurance issues. Instead of working with his insurance or trying to get some additional help because he's not ready to come home. They are just throwing him out. They don't care about their patients or their health only about money. This is the worst place I've ever came to.

Would give zero stars if possible. Quality of care and quality of services were poor. Food was inedible. Laundry lost more than once. Response of staff non-existent. Residents need a patient advocate to be watchful over their care to prevent medical errors. No communication with family members during stay, no help upon discharge. Staff minimal. Hour wait for bathroom or medications.Would not recommend.

Therapy department is amazing, they really go all out to help you get better, and there so supportive. The nurses are great they even remind you when your next med time is. The administor helped me understand things better, and has been helping me since day one. The kitchen does their utmost to make sure your stay is comfortable, and your experience is great. Keep it up everyone.

I just want to give a special thank you to the 3 to 11 crew my uncle was very pleased with his care. He would like me to thank all AIDS and NURSES on 2nd floor. A special thank you to clarence for all the walks and for pushing my uncle to get better.
