Select Specialty Hospital - Akron

"Staff is excellent in all areas. On the downside the coffee and food suck. But for overall healing experience I would recommend to everyone. The staff and doctors are so nice and helpful. I came here from hospice care because of the staff and God I'm getting ready to go home, that should say it all."

"My experience with the team that is taking care of my loved one is so informative, and some of the best bed side manners I’ve ever seen. She’s always cleaned up and ready for the day. I appreciate this place so much"

"My husband’s stay here was the worst experience of my life, and you would’ve thought his actual accident and the first few days after that would have been the worst. My husband suffered a severe TBI after a motorcycle accident and for most of the staff, especially night time, you would’ve thought this was their first time dealing with a TBI patient. There is so much negligence, over medicating, and in my opinion patient abuse going on that I truly have no idea how their doors are even open. I pretty much had a full time job babysitting the staff here and the night time staff? The absolute worst. They over medicate every patient they can as soon as night time takes over, add medicines without explaining to you why they are being added. Giving meds to your family member and never wanting to explain what it is (typically because they’ve had meds added to sedate your family member). Blaring TVS at night with all the lights on, nursing assistants sitting covered in blankets watching Netflix on their phones. Whatever you can do, avoid this place at all costs. While the therapy team and some of the day time staff were amazing, it’s not worth the headache. I had to spend 12 hours or more a day here to protect my husband and this is supposed to be a place where you trust them to take care of your loved one."

"Food terrible. High carb, high sugar overcooked. A girl takes your food order and you never get what you order. They are too cheap to serve beef. Chicken Chili, turkey burgers etc. If you get a dessert you will not get coffee or milk to drink with it only diet soda,and with coffee only cheap coffee mate, not half and half. Charge a fortune for profits. Getting finger stuck for glucose, not diabetic. Said I was on prednisone but not on it. Stuck for nothing for 3 days. Nurses are short staffed and aids non existent. A lot act like they hate their jobs. Bed broke and couldn't move my meal tray under it and never did get me a bed. Average care , subpar food, below nursing home. They don't carry high protein low sugar ensure, atkins, etc. Only 22g sugar Ensure . Physical therapy,OT were good people. Respiratory. After 25 years retired working in a hospital avg floor care and a very competent cardiologist and some other doctors. My advice is if you have family bring fast food hand sanitizer, etc and get better nutrition UPDATE: Food issue was never resolved and dietary orders were never corrected after talking to administrative staff. If you like a bottle of water with desserts and not coffee or milk then you will love it here. If you are on a sugar-free diet and like to get sugary foods you are in the right place."

"The care and treatment here at Select Medical Care in Akron was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I can't describe how amazing the Doctors, Nurses, Case Management, Dietary and Housekeeping are at this hospital. I was really scared when I was told that I had to go to a wound hospital for 6 weeks. I didn't know what to expect and it was definitely scary. It was exceptionally clean and well staffed. The nurses were amazing!! Althea, Anthea and Barb are amazing at the wound treatment and changing the wound vac. The doctors updates the patient everyday. They all took really excellent care of me. I will be forever grateful to all the staff. I highly recommend Select Medical Care in Akron."
