Prattville Health and Rehabilitation, LLC

My experience here was absolutely great! I had a relative here not long ago and I believe Angel Owens deserves a shoutout. She went above and beyond and always seemed to keep a smile and a pleasant and sweet personality. Overall the place was great. Would recommend to any of my family and friends.

Prattville nursing home on Jasmine Trail: I’ve heard numerous people talk about how bad that nursing home is. The workers, or caretakers, who help the patients are very uncaring, not very concerned about the patients, make the patients feel horrible emotionally, the folks that work there, the caretakers, sit around a lot and visit around the desk. I know one patient who does not feel well being there, and she’s scared to use the bathroom, which she has to wear a diaper, she’s afraid to use bathroom in her diaper because it burns. And when she tried to eat, one of the caretakers was feeding her and made her rush eating her lunch, which she did not finish because the caretaker was in such a hurry. And also. The patient accidentally spilled a drink on her bedsheets, so instead of the caretaker, changing out her bedsheets, the caretaker decided to put a pillow between the patient and the bedsheets. And the caretaker rolled her eyes and said she had just changed the bedsheets. I don’t know what kind of system is going on there, but it sounds like you got a bunch of non-caring caretakers that do not care about those helpless patients. Something needs to be done. That nursing home needs to be looked into. And they need to hire caretakers who give a darn. Those patients certainly don’t wish to be in a nursing home. And they certainly don’t need that kind of abuse. If you’re going to work in a nursing home, you better have the patience, understanding, a lot of care when dealing with the patients. If you don’t like the job working in the nursing home, go find another job. If you’re not a people person, don’t work in a nursing home. If you don’t like helping out others, don’t work in a nursing home.

Rod Watkins is an outstanding administrator who truly cares. Instead of simply relying on staff updates, he personally checks on my father to make sure he’s doing well. That kind of compassion and hands-on leadership means so much to our family. Thank you, Rod, for always going the extra mile!
