My father was in the rehab section at Wingate for almost 2 months and we are lucky that he got out alive! He was discharged last week with a HORRIBLE rash that according to the VNA must have been there for at least a week. Multiple people must have seen the infection and ignored it for days! It has now spread all over his body and we still don't know what it is. We visited every day and he still received this treatment. I fear for the safety of those whose loved ones are not present. While he was there I made excuses for the minimal care that the patients received, blaming it on their being under-staffed, but this level of neglect is horrific!

My friend was in Wingate at Silver Lake for rehab. The staff members were really good, they're nice, and she got along nicely will all of them. They have a dining area and they have very pretty grounds, we were able to take her out to the patio. It's more like a hospital setting than assisted living type thing. She often had new roommates, so she wasn't happy about losing a friend that she just made. I didn't eat there but I saw some of the food that was going out to everybody, and a lot of them there don't like the food. A lot of people there had left food on their plates, so that was the only drawback there. They had all kinds of things, they had music, painting, storytelling, and trivia questions. And they were getting the residents very much involved, which I thought was a good thing. The staff members were awesome.

First of all, this is a review of the SNF, which was not an option to choose. As of now, my review is very negative. My grandmother has been there a week and the communication is AWFUL! Also, the questions my mom asked prior to choosing this facility were met with untruths. For example, we asked if they had 5 day per week speech therapy and were told yes,but this is not true. Also, we asked if communication with nursing and family was constant and told yes, however in a week we have not been able to speak with a nurse (UNREAL) and even unit nurse managers have not responded to multiple voicemails. I would say SKIP this facility, or at least take what your typical screening questions are with a grain of salt. Clearly we were told mis truths or at least HALF truths, so don’t waste your precious loved ones time ❤️

My friend was at Wingate At Silver Lake. I thought that they also did a good job, the staff was professional and patient. She seemed to be doing a lot of activities and making friends by interacting with a lot of the other seniors and stuff. I haven't heard her complaint about the food although she's not really one to complain. It may have just been the timing, but the staff was not that quick in getting the residents up and around and ready to start their day.

We have selected Wingate at Silver Lake. What we liked about it was it’s a continuum care facility. My mother is in the assisted living, but if she needs more high-skill assistance, it is there. The staff is very caring. She has a one-bedroom with a kitchen, a separate bedroom, separate bathroom, and a living area. The food is very good. They have sit-down exercise, Wii bowling, bingo, singing events, big band night, and socials for family. So there are a lot of things that they have available. She’s only been there for a month.
