Review for The Rutherford Memory Care

Staff communication is very poor. Trying to get information on incidents is difficult. Staff training seems inadequate. Response to requests poor. Not at the top of my recommend list.

Response from the community

I'm sorry to hear you're having a negative experience at The Rutherford. I shared your feedback with the Regional Director of Operations.

our families experience, overall a nice community, friendly staff

Love the staff. Mother in law says food not very good. However, we would recommend The Rutherford Memory Care to other families based on the experience so far.

Experience having loved one in memory care

I am well pleased with the facility. The activity director is fantastic. She keeps the residents busy with activities and trips. The staff interact with the residents and my husband enjoys their attention. The staff seem to get along well with each other and work hard to meet the needs of the residents. The facility got new management last year and new staff. It has made quite a difference in my opinion. My only complaint is the laundry being put in various places but I’m sure my husband is responsible for the prob
