The food just keeps getting worse. You never get what is on your menu or if you do, there is barely 4 small bites of it any more. Depending on the time of day, your call light may be answered within 15 minutes and at other times, you are lucky if anyone comes within an hour. Most of the aides are wonderful and the facility workers are very caring. There are some activities but they are all in-house. Since covid restrictions have been lifted there has not been any outings to like the park, movies, or shopping.

My father was a short term resident who was to be there for 20 days for rehab following a pnuemonia diagnosis and was dead within 10 days. He fell out of bed 9 times in 10 days with no brain scan done, claimed he was eating 75% of 4 meals a day but lost 16 pounds and found his false teeth in a drawer, had his medical records reviewed and was being given high doses of basically benadryl to knock him out and sleep all the time, never had his own clothes on (even when he passed he has someone else's clothes on, and his death certificate read that he died of bacterial pnuemonia due to open sores and them not cleaning him. Would not recommend this place to anyone . . .please if your family members are there, watch EVERY minute of EVERY day they are there or move them to another facility.

We had a really bad experience at Shawneesprings. My father was there for rehab and getting antibiotics. I felt like a family member had to be there at all times because he was not being responded to when he needed to go to the restroom. We were told by the staff to expect a 20-30 minute wait after we hit the call button. Therefore, I had to help him daily to use the restroom. Otherwise, he would have wet the bed. THe first night he was there, he was not cleaned up and had the same gown on from the hospital. I had to ask daily that he be cleaned up for the day. One day I had to wait til 4:00 PM for him to get a sponge bath and medicine on his sore. Also, I do not believe anyone addressed him by name in the five days he was there. The nursing staff seemed professional and the food was good and the room seemed cleaned, but otherwise a terrible place. When we got him out of there into another facility, everyone was relieved. I do not recommend this place for anyone you love. Also, if there were any activities, no one told us about them.

I went to Shawnee Springs for rehab after having surgery. Whenever I needed help with getting in or out of bed, or needed changing, it took the staff, during the majority of my stay, between an hour to two hours to answer the call light. Twice in the middle of the night, I needed help and ended up calling my family to come help me, as no staff came to assist after having my call light on for an hour and forty minutes. A number of times when the staff did come in, they would say that they would go get someone who could help me. But no one ever showed up. One time a staff member came in, and I said I needed help getting up from the bed, and she said: "well, how am I supposed to do that?" I was not assisted with washing or cleaning up until the last day, when I was able to wash myself. I had physical therapy twice for 15 minutes. I was told that I could go to the various recreational activities they offered and that they would bring me a schedule. However, I never received a schedule, even after again requesting it. The food was deplorable. I was supposed to stay there for 3 weeks, but my family got me out after a week. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.

My experience has been great here! Everyone here is great. The STNAs and nurses take care of my needs. Physical Therapy is the reason I am able to go home now. They work their patients hard to get them rehabbed to go home. Social Services (Krista) has helped me with everything, if it wasn't for her I would have even a harder time. She helped me with my insurance concerns. My sister was a patient here once before and she had a great experience too- this is why I chose the building. Food is good. I really like the fish dinner with macaroni and cheese! If I ever need care in the future I would certainly return to Shawneeespring of Harrison.

My ex-husband was a resident of Shawnee Carespring. They have excellent care and excellent food. It's clean and it's extremely nice. They have entertainment, and it was very, very good. It's just an excellent facility, I rate it very high, and I would love to get him back into it again.
