Slate Belt Health & Rehabilitation 701 Slate Belt Boulevard, Bangor, PA 18013

"I have worked for Slate Belt since I was 18 years old. I have worked at other places but Slate Belt is by far the best place I have ever worked. The care provided is unmatched, and all of staff truly care about the residents."

"This is an absolutely HORRIBLE place. Do NOT put your loved one in this facility! Some of the staff are very rude and disrespectful. My Dad was placed here against his will. They kept my Dad so heavily sedated it was hard for him to stay awake, to communicate with our family, or to take in any nutrition. My Dad told them he didn't want the medication they were using to keep him sedated. I told them myself to respect my Dad's wishes, and to NOT give him any pain relief sedation meds unless he asked for them. They even dismissed my request. Shortly after my Dad arrived to this facility, my Dad passed away in this horrible disrespectful facility. I can't express enough, if you truly love your family member do NOT I repeat do NOT place them in this facility. I wanted my Dad home with me where I could have taken care of my Dad with respect, dignity, and love and with his family. However, others thought they knew what was best for my Dad because they didn't want to take care of my Dad anymore..they were WRONG! Truth be told, I give this facility ZERO stars!"

"Horrible place to work for. I was there for almost one year. They tell you about the union they have and I don’t even recall ever getting a paper to sign that I opted in for that. All of a sudden union dues came out of my check on my stubs. They don’t care enough about the patients and they have their favorites. Hard workers go unnoticed but the lazy “pretty face” workers run the show. I’m gonna be amazed to see how they do once the staffing ratio law passes. Also, their $7500 sign on bonus is a scam. Management was completely wiped and changed a good enough amount of times while I was there. Some of the sides there are caring but overall I wouldn’t recommend this place to a family member or friend and certainly not as a place to work"

"They allowed my mother in law to leave before she really should have. I voiced several concerns about wether or not she was ready and they swore she was. My husband and I both work full time which would leave her alone for at least 9 hours a day. They told me not to worry she would be fine and they would set up meals on wheels for her but they didn’t. She is not capable of bathing or even getting dressed on her own so she definitely can’t make herself any meals. She was sent home on a Saturday and we were told physical therapy would be coming to us by Tuesday to help her get more acclimated. When the physical therapist finally called, they said they won’t be coming till Thursday and they made that very clear when they spoke with someone from Slate Belt. Had I not taken time off of work to be with her, she would have been home alone with no way of eating or taking care of herself for almost a week. Considering the severity of her injury, I have no idea how a facility who claims to care could have sent her home in good conscience. They lied to us about every detail. No meals on wheels, no therapy for almost a week, and elderly woman who is barely capable of getting herself off the couch even though they said she was ready. Not that it matters that much but they also said they would have therapy reach out to me instead of my husband since he is never available to answer his phone during the day and they didn’t do that either. If you want a facility that doesn’t listen or care about their patients and will be dishonest about things every step of the way, this place is for you."

"After spending two weeks in the hospital with several issues, we were faced with finding a rehabilitation facility in the area. It was very difficult to choose, because you just never know. However, I could not be more pleased with the care and services that my mother has been provided. Each room is meticulously cleaned on a daily basis. The food is good, and the staff is all so friendly and personable. The therapists are very open and willing to work with you and figure out what your needs and goals are. Everyone is willing to listen to you and help you with any concerns you may have. Obviously, there are times when there are too many people and not enough help on the floor, but you get that anywhere. The benefits and pros far outweigh the cons and negatives. You can feel comfort and confidence in sending your loved one here for rehabilitation."
