4.4 · 256 reviewsThis "rehab center" was awful! I got there and found her walking to the bathroom by herself. No walker, no person helping, just holding onto stuff along the way to get there. She called for help several times. But no one came. The Doctor had not even been there to do an initial evaluation. No PT visits. She had to ask for all three meals. Definitely not newly remodeled as their ad says. I wouldn't leave a dog there and I don't like dogs. Needless to say I took her home.
Parkside is definitely a great place to rehabilitate. The people are friendly and caring. Always attentive to the needs of their patients. The food was good and nutritious. If I need rehabilitation again, I would choose Parkside.
We transferred my mother here last week to stay and build some strength after leaving the ER before coming home to do at home care. Although staff was nice, the facility was depressing. The room was smaller than a 15x 15 storage locker. There were no clear instructions and staff would keep their head down even if you were standing in front of them for assistance. OT/PT schedules, nursing and medicine schedules were all over the place on times and explanation. We could look past those things. However, Sunday evening at 10 pm no nurses were in the rehab facility, also expressed by the tech on…

We transferred my mother here last week to stay and build some strength after leaving the ER before coming home to do at home care. Although staff was nice, the facility was depressing. The room was smaller than a 15x 15 storage locker. There were no clear instructions and staff would keep their head down even if you were standing in front of them for assistance. OT/PT schedules, nursing and medicine schedules were all over the place on times and explanation. We could look past those things. However, Sunday evening at 10 pm no nurses were in the rehab facility, also expressed by the tech on duty. Night medication was never on schedule or time and when asked for a nurse, my mother was told there was not one in the building. This is understandable, that on a weekend a nurse may cover both facilities and not be immediately available, however the miscommunication from the tech, the worry caused to my mother on no explanation or schedule was too much for us to take and we decided to discharge her bc it was much safer at home. Additional chaos for the 5 days she was there included: Nurses from rehab facility gas lighting us to say a nurse was available at all times when they clearly were not - this was stated by the tech (staff) as well - upon discharge 3 medications were not given to us, so we had to discover this ourselves and drive an hour to go retrieve the important medication they forgot or give us - a motorcycle rally in the parking lot that was shut off for guest parking and patients, causing loud noises and major disruption for visitation. There were too many issues for a 5 day period for an elderly patient to jump through hoops and the staff to turn the issues back on to us. I do not recommend.

This is the most positive and family experience that you will ever have.The staff are doing the best for your help and Janet is the hardest working and caring person you've ever met. The food is amazing here and very nutrintonal. The concierge Lisa makes the best snacks everyday. I absolutely love this place
My dad has been a patient here at Parkside for the past several weeks. When I say that this is the absolute best skilled nursing facility in the state, you can believe it. I have had loved ones in several, and as a registered nurse I have the background to assess how they are doing. They have taken such good care of my dad, honestly working miracles with him. The therapists are top notch, the nurses are caring and professional. The food is good. And the facility is clean! They have a “concierge” service, if you have ANY questions you can text them any time and you will get a response. We are blessed to have such an amazing facility here in Ellijay.
A big help in my life. The Rehab is excellent , highly recommend this facility.
Great rehab, the team is wonderful.The nearest here is excellent , especially cynthia on the night shift
From Alyce O. Loving it at my new place but missing each of you. Thanks so much for working and helping me to walk again! The staff and amazing food helped me get stronger. I miss each of you and hope to visit again soon. Many thanks to all of you! Denee, Lisa, Brandi, Heather Christy, Casey, EJ, Garrett, Vellan, Paul, Veronica, Aly, Charlie, Doreen, Jennifer, Megan, Sara, Briana, and the awesome guy in the kitchen (sorry didn't get his name). From Alyce O.'s kids: Thank you. You all made a very difficult time easier. We appreciate the care and attention that you gave our mom. She is still using her blanket and robe! :-) We think of you all often and truly hope that you all know of the positive impact you have in your patients lives.
