Hebrew Home Of Greater Washington

My uncle has been at the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington since November 2026, and we are displeased with the level of care he is receiving. A few specific issues: * He is supposed to receive "rehabilitation" (physical therapy) every weekday. As best we can tell, and from what he reports, it rarely happens. We're going to look into billings to see if they're charging for services not rendered. * We get the runaround whenever we ask about his care. For example, when I ask about him getting "rehabilitation" services I get different responses from different people at different times. Most recently I was told by the charge nurse that it's not her domain so she doesn't know anything about it, that I could talk to the people in that department if I see them, but she doesn't know how I can contact them. She doesn't know a phone number and she doesn't know if they have email. * His prescription glasses have been missing for the past two weeks. The empty case is still in his room. No one on staff knows anything about this. I was told that they don't touch his glasses, only he touches his glasses, they're not even allowed to touch his glasses at all. He's bedridden, so I'm not sure how they could've left the room if only he touched them. * He is never dressed. Every time we visit, no matter what time of day, no matter what day of the week, he is wearing just an undershirt and a diaper. We've bought all new clothes for him, so he has pants, shorts, sweatpants, and sweat-shorts all hanging in his closet. They've gone untouched. * Staff isn't taking him to the bathroom. He has two urinals hanging from his bed. These spill, so the room always smells of urine. Yesterday was the worst it has been. It appears he had to empty a urinal into the trash can next to his bed. *Whenever I suggest contacting staff (to help him to the bathroom, to empty a urinal, to help him make a phone call, to help him turn on or off the TV, etc.) he is very opposed to doing so. He implores me to N

My mother was a patient here for rehabilitation from a fall suffered at home in October/November 2024 on the recommendation of a hospital social worker and research on government websites. Their staff were consistently unhelpful and their psychiatrist pumped her full of psychiatric drugs to keep her docile at the facility. She not only suffered adverse effects from these drugs, but also contracted pneumonia from the facility for which she needed to be transferred to another hospital. She subsequently refused to eat or cooperate with hospital staff and was never the same. She died in an assisted living facility within a month. Hebrew Home’s administrative staff were more concerned with getting her transitioned to their elder care facility at substantial cost rather than treating her medical problems during her time there and I will never forgive them for that. Their medical facility is a mess and the staff is clueless. Please avoid getting your loved ones care here. I will never stop regretting the choice I made when my mother needed care the most.

My husband Jean is working with Lana, OT and Sukhi, PT and are so caring, funny and so motivating. They truly care about my husband recovery. They are two amazing ladies and the Jews Home is so lucky to have them.
