Chulio Hills Health and Rehab

My dad was admitted to Chulio 3 weeks ago and the staff and therapist have been a God send! My dad is on a ventilator and was transferred from an LTAC facility in Atlanta. We visited 4 other facilities in GA that could accommodate his vent requirement and we immediately knew Chulio was the right place. The therapists and nursing staff are consistent which was important to us so that they could get to know him and his non-verbal communication styles and more importantly they have several years of experience with weaning patients. They speak life over him and are constantly in communication with me about changes and his care plan. We live over an hour away and there were closer facilities we could have considered however we felt that Chulio and their team would make him feel like family and they definitely do! I highly recommend considering and touring this facility is you’re looking for a place in the GA region.

We chose Chulio Hills Health & Rehab for my dad. All the people seem to be genuinely ready to help and have the residents in their best interest. The facility is not completely up-to-date, but that does not matter to me. How people treat my dad is what matters. The staff members enjoy their jobs and enjoy taking care of their residents. Their meals are great, although sometimes it's a little much for my dad to handle as far as pulling stuff off the bone. But other than that, the meals have been more than adequate. They've had a musician come, and they had a ball game party celebrating the Georgia team's win. I've already seen that they've provided at least one big activity per week and then they also have the activity room open all the time to do crafts and puzzles.

This is Jill Essigmann & my mother has Dementia with behaviors & needed to rehab before we decided if she needed long term care or would be able to return home. Chulio Hills was willing to offer a bed to my mother. I shared videos & was upfront about my mother’s outbursts & was reassured by the doctor on staff that if I trusted him that he would figure out my mom’s medications etc to help with her dementia. He said he had seen worse & he had seen better & that it might take him four weeks but to trust him.Ten days later he told me how pleased he was with her progress & that we would keep things the same. The next day she had her best day ever which turned into her worst night ever. She had one of her episodes so they sent her off to the hospital to get mentally/medically stable. Did I mention she has dementia with behaviors???? So now once again we are shopping for a rehab facility again. The residents are so sweet. And the staff is awesome, the food is really good & the kitchen is so accommodating. Best meat loaf ever!!! My mom gained five pounds while she was there which is a blessing. Some of the staff is definitely more familiar with my mom’s disease as where others most definitely aren’t. Not anyones fault… just the way it is. She is a force to be dealt with when one kicks in. If you have a love one that is in need & does NOT have Dementia/Alzheimer’s then please check them out. I really wish things would have been different. Just be guarded in putting your trust in what the doctor on staff has to say because he will let you down. And not even give you the courtesy of a phone call.

My grandma was there for almost 3 yrs until she died of Covid last week. Thank God she went fast and didn't suffer, but my complaint is with the staff & management. ALL OF MY GRANNY'S JEWELRY IS MISSING/STOLEN!! Insult to injury is the apathy from admin. After giving us a 3 boxes of "belongings", half of which belongs to someone else, they'll "look again" as the clean her rm. Very expensive and sentimental jewelry.

My father stayed at Chulio Hills for four days. The care was good, and they did the best they could. They were knowledgeable and very helpful. He was quarantined there. They had a beauty shop and they did games and things like that in the dining room, but they're restricted right now. The facility was nice and kept up. It's more reasonable than the rest of them; it's $7200 a month.
