Hebrew Center for Health & Rehabilitation

My experience with Hebrew Rehabilitation was heartbreaking and disappointing. As my mother’s conservator and advocate, I expected compassion, communication, and dignity for my mother who has advanced Dementia. I once unexpectedly visited and found my mother lying in bed wearing only a Johnny gown with her underwear exposed. Her dinner tray was still covered and sitting by her bedside.I had to help get my mother dressed in the clothing I provided and asked staff to warm her meal. Seeing her in that condition was devastating. My mother was later transferred to the CT Behavioral Health Center due to concerns about her being “aggressive” and refusing medications. I expressed my concerns that she may have felt unsafe and that her behaviors needed to be understood. When I shared this with Joseline, the unit nurse for the rehab and memory care units, I felt dismissed and that the response was argumentative rather than compassionate. I was also told that after 14 days in the geriatric psych unit, my mother would be able to return to her previous unit. Later, I was told Hebrew would not take her back because there was no available bed, which I later learned was not accurate. Families trusting a facility with their loved ones deserve honesty, respect, and compassionate care.Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling that my mother’s dignity and needs were not prioritized.

This is my second time visiting my friend at this facility. The staff is friendly and very patience. The facility & grounds looks good & well kept. I asked the receptionist for suggestions for places to eat. She was welcoming and went above her duties by suggesting a couple of places near by for dinner (addresses and menu included). My father in-law (92 yrs of age) enjoyed the food. Chinese restaurant even allowed our pet seat outside w us in the patio. Next stop.... ice cream🍦.

My experience is always beautiful visiting my mom at the Hebrew home. She tells me she’s always well taken care of and not to worry about her. She know I’m busy working at Maple View Manor, which is your sister‘s home so I know she’s under the best care, thank you guys-so much. For the loving care that you give to all the residents always grateful Adrienne Lauray
