    From the moment we stepped into the front lobby of University Care Center, we were warmly greeted by Maria. The facility has made an excellent choice in hiring her as the front-line representative. Despite the facility’s busy nature, especially during peak hours, Maria maintains her composure and a warm smile throughout the day. Her friendly, polite, and helpful demeanor makes her an invaluable asset to the team. She communicates effectively with patients regarding their appointments, ensuring that they feel comfortable and informed. You can count on her! The nursing staff and medical team have all been nothing but friendly and accommodating. I’m glad my brother chose University Care for his spine surgery rehab. A special shoutout to the physical therapy team, social services, and housekeeping. Expect this facility to be bustling with activity. The hallways are filled with staff members, each with a specific job to do. There’s never a dull moment at UCC! As for the meals, my brother didn’t eat much, but he was spoiled by his friends and family who brought him food from shops and restaurants when they visited. I must give the meals some credit because each meal was prepared fresh, neatly presented, and covered. Again, my brother made the best choice with University Care. The 17-mile and 20-minute drive was worth it me....my brother was worth the visit. University Care provided excellent care and support to my brother. UCC, you all made a big difference in my brother's life and helped him stay on a positive path. His recovery journey continues with chemotherapy. Thank you, UCC! You da the best 👍🏼

    PLEASE BELIEVE THE 1 STAR REVIEWS!!! My mother recently fell and needed additional physical therapy after her hospital stay. Her case manager recommended this place and she was transported by ambulance. As soon as we walked in we could smell the stench of dust and must mixed in with patients "accidents". The fake plants and the front lobby are filled with dust and right away we could see this place does not keep up with their maintenance. The room she was given has old very worn down furniture, holes in the walls and dark spots that look like mold. Right away we decided our mother was not going to spend one night there and we took her out immediately! The charge nurse was nice but what she was stating about the facility and how great it was does not reflect what we saw and experienced. As we were walking down the hall the staff had a male patient right outside his room in a wheelchair and seemed to be completely naked and was getting changed. We kept walking and tried not to look but we were embarrassed for him. It feels this place is where people are "dumped" at that have no other choice or family to care for them. It really sadden us just thinking about all the patients there and how they must feel and absolutely no way in hell we were leaving our mother there. The nurse mentioned it is a 5 star facility and I am not trying to be mean but our experience was anything but the 5 star that she mentioned. I honestly think the 5 star reviews are made up. But dont just take my word for it, if your loved one is needing to go to this type of facility PLEASE PLEASE go do a tour for yourself and you will see the negative reviews are not made up.

  • The CNA’s, nurses and physical therapists are all very nice and good people. My only issue with this place was the Case Worker named Audrey. I stayed at this facility twice. The first time she tried to push me out three days before my insurance said I had to leave. The second time I stayed, she kicked me out because a resident that is schizophrenic said I threatened him. I told her she should never take the word of a schizophrenic. She didn’t care. I told her that my roommate was complaining about the schizophrenic guy hollering, which she did every day even though he has a cold button just like everyone else called for a nurse. Schizo would wake us up every morning at 5 o’clock hollering for a nurse. Even late at night he would do the same thing. It got to the point to where the CNA‘s would have to ignore him because they already knew that he wanted pills that they couldn’t give him yet.. I simply went over there told him that my roommate asked him to be quiet. Then the schizo guy asked me to get a CNA to put tea in his hot water, which I did. I seriously suggest that Griffin, who is the guy that runs the place has a talk with her about being so quick and harsh about things.

    Everyone treated me with the utmost respect Once the Dr.s figured out the right combination of medicine that would work the best for me,it was fine. The food could be a little better on some aspects but overall it was fine

    Besides the OT/PT staff everything else is unpleasant about this facility. It is very run down. Pictures DONT match what it currently looks like. Staff doesn’t come when patient presses button for help. Very loud and noisy during the day but staff doesn’t check on patients often. Everyone that works here seems uninterested or burnt out. Highly suggest you tour before bringing your loved ones here.
