Some patients don't even have AC in their rooms. It's too hot gor that. Patients that can go to the bathroom are ignored when they need to go. Caught employees laughing and conversation while my family member needes to go to the bathroom, so long that they called me and I drove over there and they were still laughing and not working. By the time i got there my family member had to pee on themselves since noone would help. Also, one of the nurses has an attitude problem. It is sad that the elderly have to be mistreated like this. Lastly, the place is dirty. Like make your skin crawl dirty. Shoes stick to the floor, carpet are gross. They definitely are not cleaning. I wonder how many patients have rashes and get infections/sick because this place is terrible. Do not send your family here.

Through a difficult time Apple Rehab staff have been great to us and very accommodating. They have let us stay overnight to help through some anxiety issues and even allowed our dog to visit. My mother's limited mobility required a single room and they moved us to one within 24 hours. Obviously the staff has a difficult job and everyone is different but almost everyone has been genuinely caring and kind. Couldn't be more appreciative under difficult circumstances.

My father has been in Apple Rehab for the last two months and has received exceptional care. The staff has been extremely welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The director, Tim Flaherty, has been remarkable in overseeing the everyday care throughout the facility. He goes out of his way to assist with whatever you need. The staff and administration has made us feel at home at Apple.

As it started out great . After awhile behind the scenes are a vast array of behaviors that influence a hush hush display of secrecy

My mother in law recently had the opportunity to have stayed at the Apple Rehab Center of Cromwell for 2 weeks. She had nothing but great things to say. The staff was inviting, warm, caring and would go out of there way to assist you with anything you would ask for. The administrator was a doll. He would stop in everyday to check in on her or just to say hello. She raved about the food and said every meal was delicious!! They would serve you 3 meals a day and would often stop by in between to see if you wanted or needed anything else. She would definitely refer this place to my family and friends. She can’t stop talking about Apple Rehab of Cromwell.
