Royal Park of Matthews

Do not send your family to this facility. I read the reviews on this site and I was an uneasy when I read them but I still thought it would be OK to send my mother there. It was close and family members could go. Even with family members being there most of the time your family member will still be at risk!!!!!! Do not send your family members to this facility!!! There is nobody watching them, even after her fall the nurse practitioner did not order XRays. The PT had her walking on a broken le...

My parents were in Royal Park of Matthews nursing homes. You smell things. You heard things that you didn't want to hear, people crying for help, and stuff like that. And they seemed to take a long time to respond to calls. My parents had a lot of issues when they first started, and so they ended up going to the hospital several times from conditions that stemmed from things that they were having trouble with and didn't get corrected. And so they ended up sometimes going back and forth to the ho...

My husband was at Royal Park of Mathews for rehab. I didn't like it because there was a hallway that always smelled of pee. Maybe somebody peed on the floor, and nobody cleaned it. When they empty my husband's pee, they leave it on the sink and don't rinse it out. One day, I think it was for lunch or dinner, my husband got a salad. I felt so bad for my husband. Thank God I did my groceries before I went to see him that day. So, ever since that day, I've always brought extra food for him. The sta...

It has been 17 days after sumitting admission application for my sister. I have yet to get a response despite over 18 calls during the process that I was informed would take 2 days. I suspect this lack belies a deeper issue related to professionalism and the lack of proper care potential residents would encounter. I have reconsidered placing my family here. It will NOT happen!

My dad is a resident of Royal Park of Matthews Rehabilitation and Health Center. The long term is on one side, and the short term is on the other. Then there are two rows of short-term where the nurses are split off. Therapy-wise, it's been really good. They're a little short on staff some days, so the nurses feel like they're stretched thin with the work. As long as you have somebody there, you'll be okay. But if you can't have somebody to be there with you like your family, they may well not t...

My grandmother developed sepsis after an injection wound became infected at this facility. We asked for a month and a half for someone to care for the wound and no one did until just days before she was transferred to the ER. She is transitioning to hospice and will likely pass as a result of the negligence at this facility. Nursing staff would leave her in a soiled diaper for hours and would refuse to come help when she called. Do not send your loved one to this facility.

Royal Park of Matthews was the worst place to send your love one. My husband was sent there for rehab due to loosing his leg to blood clots from covid. He waited over an hour to get help to the bathroom. Some one finally came and just gave him a urinal and left. This was the first night straight from the hospital. Earlier that day, at the hospital, he was given some meds to make him use the bathroom. He was so scared and told my daughters he felt very uneasy there. That is not like him at all. T...

This has been a terrible experience for my mom, if it's not rehab it's the last and least of everything! This morning was the third time my mom had to sleep and sit in her own wast! All night till after 11:00 a.m had to call all upper management to no avail... Not even a return call mom had to call police for the third time. Neglect and Disrespect at it's highest!

Royal Park has gone through administration changes in the past. Currently, I have to share they are doing a great job. Yes they have been burdened with the dreaded COVID-19 at the facility but are doing the best they can possibly do. My mom is there and the precautions they are taking are impressive, the communication has been stellar, and what the staff are faced with everyday is excruciatingly stressful. Thank you for all you are doing.

I was not happy staying here.

I only picked 1 star because there wasnt an option foe ZERO!! At first glance, this facility is very nice. That was about it!! My mother was there for rehab. (4 weeks). I dont know where to begin. Food: my mom has an alergy to beans. This was told and noted with the staff. Probably 10 meals were brought to her with beans. They did not care and brought more the next day. One dinner consisted of "two" dried chicken wing! Cornbread was in a baggie that looked like someone stepped on it, nothing but...

I was a patient of Royal Park 3 years ago. My husband was a patient there in August 2019. We both had excellent experiences. The staff is friendly and very professional. From nutse supervisory to cleaners. The PT staff work dilegently to help you. The food was acceptecal. The rooms clean and very roomy. Our time there was more than we could have imagend. They made you feel as close to home as possible. I would recommend the facillity to any one. Thank you Royal Park for your commitment to excel...

My mom is currently in there and I will be so glad when she is out. They did not change her beds sheets for over week. They say they will do the patients laundry but now twice I have told them her dirty clothes have been there over a week. They said she refused dinner when I was sitting in the room with my mom. Nope she did not and thank goodness she has snacks because she did not get dinner at all even when she asked about it.

Disappointed Family 1

This care facility needs a hidden audit. There are members of the care staff that treat their residents with no respect, dignity or compassion. There is a 30 to 40 minutes wait when care buttons are pushed. They want to keep the residents in the bed if they have mobility issues. The shower chair is shared and looks disgusting. Residents are only bathed once per week unless family insists for more. The food is mush. Small portions regardless of size, everything on the menu is not given out...

Do not bring your loved ones here. My brother in law was a resident here. The care he received was horrible. Staff is miserable. I was given the run around by his nurse when he needed to go to ER for breathing problems. She asked if I was taking him then she wouldn’t call 911 due to getting her Med cart ready. Then told me I could call 911and sent me down the hall to other nurses who in turn sent me back to her. Only when I started yelling and a CNA from Scandinavia came helped me did anyth...

I cannot say enough great things about this facility! It is always clean, bright and filled with kind staff members when I visit. I have seen the therapy team do outstanding work with patients and their family members. My family member was here for short term rehab after an injury and I could not have been happier with her care! The team really made sure my aunt was receiving the right therapy needed to be able to return home independently. They even have their own home health that they were abl...

I visit my grandmother at this facility everyday. Everyone is always happy and friendly as soon as I walk in the door. The staff is always very helpful and when I stay for lunch and order a lunch tray the food has always been good. I would highly recommend this facility my grandmother is very happy and has made many friends with other residents and families.

My brother-in-law just left Royal Park Rehab, I was amazed how clean, organized, the best staff I have ever witnessed in a rehab or nursing facility. The staff were so kind and personable! Every person from the care staff to the office personnel all felt like family. One lady named Tamera was amazing, it takes a special person to do her job and she is that special person. I certainly hope they pay her well because she cannot be replaced, she is a rare breed treating all patients with dignity, l...

I'm always impressed when I visit Royal Park. My aunt was a patient there and the rehab was phenomenal. She was barely able to sit on the side of the bed when she admitted, but after four weeks she was able to return to her home alone. I couldn't believe the progress she made in such a short time. A family friend lives at the facility as a long term care patient so I have visited both sections of the building. I've been in several nursing homes over the years and I usually dread going t...

I took a tour of this facility a few days ago and the building is beautiful! It's very different than most nursing homes I've been in or toured. It feels uplifting and bright and has an overall positive atmosphere, and you're welcomed as soon as you come in. The staff was very friendly and they were all smiles, from management to the nursing staff. Nurses and their aides seemed very attentive and patient to resident needs. During the tour, the activities department was painting some of the resi...

This facility is beautiful and the staff is amazing! The therapy department does a FANTASTIC job and got my loved one back on her feet right away! Really impressed! I would highly recommend this facility! A+++ GMA said food was good, especially the fried fish.

My mother was there for a few weeks. I would not recommend this facility. Night staff ignores the call bell, they leave patients laying in bed in pain for hours, the food is always cold and never what the patient request. Management does nothing when you share your concerns. Terrible place due to staff!

Diane

My husband was at Royal Park of Mathews for hospice. They were very receptive and do an excellent job. They have excellent and very supportive staff.

fffff

dddBeware or nighttime care at this facility. My 86 year old mom entered Royal Park for rehab after back surgery. At the time of this writing, she has been there 9 days. For 4 of those days, she began requesting pain medication around 1 am and got NO response until 5 or 6 am. She would sit on the side of the bed crying for several hours, unable to reach anyone at the facility via the call button. After a few days of this, mom began writing down each time she pressed the call button (requests for...

Change was good and needed can't believe it took so long. Now that mark is gone the staff have such great personality. Howard and Maddie are building a solid team and have given back autonomy to the old time managers. Keep going forward. Keep listening the change is great! The patients look happy.

betterplace

SHOUT OUT! I just wanted to give Howard, the new administrator at #royalparkrehabofmatthewsnc a public "THANK YOU" for all your hard work and dedication to making the facility a place the long term residence can call home! Still work to be done but every single day my mom and I are seeing the hard work you are putting into this task and we applaud you! ????????????????????????

I recently had a family member at Royal Park for care after breaking their hip. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. The rehab department was wonderful and nurses were top notch. The entire staff including management were very friendly and accommodating. Not 100% happy with the food but that's not what we were there for. I laugh at the families who are so critical yet can not care for their loved ones themselves. Give the staff a break. They work hard for little pay and love what they do...

I visit my mom often I see nice changes taking place Def would recommend. Nice facility

I visited a relative of mine this past Friday that I had not seen for several weeks. Atmosphere is very different in a positive way. Apparently there is a new "Sheriff" in town (Administrator). I met him...he is very nice. Moral is much improved since my last visit. I would definitely recommend facility. Great rehab! I am in the medical profession.

Coreystac

I am appalled that "false fake menues" are posted. I have a family member there that NEVER gets her desired marked menus. I commented to her that the menus posted outside nurses station looked good and both she and her roommate laughed and said that menus was for show. This is a shame. These people pay to get fed and should be properly.And they should be offered and brought coffee WHEN they request it. These people are in the final stages of their lives and they should be treated with respect. ...

This place is so awful! Don't let the new building fool you. I would come to visit my mother every day and witnessed the horrible "care" these patients were getting. They were not giving my mother her medications as prescribed which caused her ailment to get worse. The administrator is a joke! He could not have seemed more disinterested in my concerns. He also made a snide remark about how understaffed they were, as if it was a joke. All in all, stay clear of this facility!

Coleen4

The care at Royal Park was awful. I contacted the state of North Carolina. I was appalled. They did not tell me my husband had MRSA. I came in on a Sunday, and he was so sick he could hardly hold his head up; they didn’t even take care of him. I think they were more interested in collecting their money. They actually billed me for days he wasn’t even there and he was back in the hospital. He was still sick one day he couldn’t do anything and they billed me for physical therapy; he didn’t go to p...
