Hamilton Continuing Care Center

Sorry, have to echo the 1^st reviewer.
The staff is very friendly but too many things seems disorganized or unstructured.
Rehab is scheduled and generally within 30 mins of scheduled time.
The «rehab» area where my mom is taken is a large room with several pieces of equipment. There is a video style game (similar to a Wii) used for hand to eye coordination. There are exercises performed by most but not all the residents, some seem to just sit in their wheel chairs for most of the time. You could argue that more is not necessary if the rehab is being performed.
The food rises to the level of OK on some occasions but food service has already been «hit or miss» with her being served dry cereal with no milk, coffee with no creamer or sugar and not receiving lunch until a family member intervened («Oh, sorry, she’s not in the system» …though she received breakfast that day).
When a person leaves their wheel chair an alarm sounds (alerting the staff that a person may have fallen out of their chair). I’ve been there when I could hear an alarm sounding for 10 straight minutes…
When a patient presses a button for assistance, a «beeping sound» begins and a light turns on outside the patient’s room. I’ve seen lights on and heard beeping sounds go on for a very long time prior to anyone arriving to find out if there’s a problem.
If you can’t visit everyday, I’d also recommend an advocate.
I cannot recommend Care One as did the previous reviewer, my Dad was there and it was worse than this, his GP referred to it as CareNone.
The only place that comes out on top is St Lawrence but they are frequently full and we couldn’t get my Mom in there.

This is advertised as combo nursing/​rehab center, however, it really is a nursing home with a rehab room with the avg. age of patient/​resident around 80. Facilities are subpar with very sad looking common rooms and strong smells.
If you are looking for rehab and/​or have a medical condition, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Staff is friendly for the most part but facility is run down. I would recommend having an advocate there if the patient is not fully with it because we had incident where dr changed meds without notifying family or patient and only found out when saw pills being given to patient. Absolutely awful since the meds were not suppose to be given per the patient’s specialist.
The food is HORRIBLE and more importantly is not cooked to dietary restrictions. They served a sandwich for dinner while charging insurance $ 300/​night. It comes ice cold too… which makes gross food taste even worse. Physical therapy is once/​day and about 45minutes and not always one-​on-​one session. It would be better to do an outpatient program elsewhere.
Going to Care One if need rehab in future… not here.
