Walnut Cove Health and Rehabilitation Center

Friendly and hard working staff that made my stay away from home feel as though I had a second family.

UPDATED June 2020:
Please pardon my Jan. 11 2020 review. My husband was dying, I felt I failed him and tonight, looking at the date, I must have done that review literally minutes before they called that he had passed.

The 2010 stands, but that is ancient history as far as staff, ownership, employees...a different era.

But this pandemic and the fact my 95-year old motber sounds so GOOD when we talk, is but one testament to this new batch: heroes...all I specifically want to mention that to date, this SNF has had ZERO (0) cases of COVID!! That includes staff AND patients! I tell them I brag about this on all my SM, and it is true. If anyone ever has or had any worry that this place isn’t performing above the call of duty for our loved ones, worry no more. They are patient with us harried family members - intuitively knowing not being able to visit our loved ones is making us crazy! My only wish is that during this pandemic, there could be some better way for us to talk to patients-specifically those deaf, poor eyesight, where making facetime calls or via iPads is beyond patients’ abilities-like my mother. But this is just more collateral damage this pandemic is causing. So I have updated the stars to 5. Our families are safe. Whatever tbey have been doing to keep COVID out, it is working! So I applaude and salute to every superhero keeping themselves & our loved ones safe. God Bless

————— excerpt from original review —————

Here is my experience in 2009-2010 and as recent as of 1/11/2020:

My dad was there in 2009 to Jan 2010. He had a wound on his heel (had non-diabetic neuropathy) that was neglected. He went septic & died just 3 days before he was to come home after finally getting his power chair from VA. The staff was inadequate then, EXCEPT for Joe-the PT guy. The only one to care & have compassion....

rest is deleted now. I apologize for emotiona of 10 years ago. I really loved my daddy. Just some advice to the families: Don’t do reviews they very day your loved one passes. Doesn’t di anyone any good. Then, or finding one a decade old. The pain is what comes out.

As a new employee here myself, I have to say this is a great place with a great staff who strive to treat and provide the residents with the upmost care and make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible!
