My 92-year-old mother-in-law needed rehab after complications from a heart-valve replacement procedure at NY Presbyterian. We looked at Google reviews after Mary Manning was recommended by the staff at NYP, and we almost chose another facility (with only marginally better reviews) because of the frankly terrifying 1-star reviews here. Luckily we decided to go with Mary Manning on the strong recommendation of a couple of doctor friends. We were very pleased with the facilities, the staff, and the overall ambiance of the place. I feel sympathy for the other people who have written terrible reviews of Mary Manning because they lost a loved one here or saw their condition worsen. I obviously dont know the details of their specific situations but I think its fair to remember that elderly people who end up in a nursing-home facilities are usually quite fragile and often chronically ill. I didnt see any behavior or witness any actions (at least on the rehab floor) that suggested there was a culture of negligence or ineptitude here. My mother was in a nursing home in another state for nearly two years, and it was considered to be one of the best in the area, but it pales in comparison to the cleanliness of this place and the competence of its staff. To the latter point, the supervising nurse (Beverly!) on my mother-in-laws floor gave us her cell-phone number the first time we spoke with her, never hesitated to pick up or return calls quickly when we werent there, and always made a point to check in when we were. My mother-in-law is now back in her apartment after 10 days in rehab. While Mary Manning is certainly not perfect (the food, as has been mentioned elsewhere, is not so great), its quite good, and it certainly worked for her. We are all deeply grateful to the staff who took such good care of her while she was there. (Also, FYI, they had a very stringent Covid policy -- visitors had to be tested every time they visited -- as of one week ago.)

I had the most wonderful care at Mary Manning Walsh at 72nd street and York Avenue. I had fractured my pelvis and was in the facility for a month. The incredible doctors and nurses and staff brought me back to being able to walk (with a cane) and were simply superb. I will be forever grateful to this great rehab center.

My mother was on the 13th floor for 5 weeks after hip surgery. The staff was kind and competent and she particularly liked her therapists. Admin was responsive to any issues we had and very helpful even regarding issues that werent strictly their responsibility.

This place is awful. Today the aids on the fourth floor were fighting, and security had to be called to break it up. My husband was doing well at PT, but it was stopped with no explanation. Now he can’t get out of bed.Tremendous shortage of competent aids, doctors, and nurses. We would like to bring in private PT, but are not allowed. At the height of Covid they asked on the sign-in sheet if you had been vaccinated. Many people wrote NO. There are rarely two competent aids available to get him in a wheelchair. We still don’t know why he is in terrible shape. We believe it is due to neglect at MMW. His mind is perfect. Sometimes he gets his meds, and some times not. They say it has to come from New Jersey!

I would never go back. I had read good reviews and was hopeful. But it was an unpleasant experience. I was stuck there for weeks. The food was OK. The physical therapy was sufficient. The staff was hostile and acted like they were doing us a favor. On arrival I asked for a glass of water and was given hot water. When I asked for cold the attendant said, oh no, another complainer.But the worst, which may seem trivial was the “beauty “salon. I went three times as I needed my hair washed. The first time the hairdresser dried it with curling tongs and said it was easier for her. The second one wouldn’t let any of us seen ourselves in the mirror. When I asked why she said that patients only want alterations if they see themselves. The last one said to me after she had finished, that I looked more beautiful than her, and all the men would want me. I decided she meant well and I should educate her. I told her she was young and pretty and I was over 70 and had lost a lot of weight and I knew I wasn’t beautiful. I told her it was hurtful even though she meant well, as it reminded me of when I was young and beautiful. But there was no stopping her. She kept it up till I was in tears. Look she said, wheeling me to the mirror and putting her face next to her, see how beautiful you are. I was reminded of that awful scene in The Elephant Man movie.This might seem a small thing but it’s bad enough being old and sick.The facility was constantly running out of gowns - this was pre-Covid. The “entertainment was aimed at the over 90’s.If you aren’t Catholic the TV masses might annoy you.Hope this helps.

Understaffed ( one RN for 16 rooms), medicine administration in violation of professional licensing laws. Meds witheld x 2.5 hours despite reporting excruciating pain. NO liason with HSS surgeon. On site MD did not read medical history and arbitrarily tried to prescribe a medication that HSS had discontinued and was contraindicated.Fall precautions ignored. Incompetent, dangerous, unethical facility. I would not board my pets there.

Those pics of POC are a crock. They try hard to avoid admitting them. No matter what insurance you have theyll find an excuse to keep you out. Either they dont have room or they dont accept your insurance. This is coming from a medical professional. A journalist investigation is pending

My father was re-hospitalised with sepsis and kidney failure after spending three weeks at Mary Manning Walsh following abdominal surgery. This was after he was almost sent by MMW for a blood transfusion because a nurse read the results of a blood test wrong. Shocking levels of incompetence and neglect. Do not put your loved ones in this place.

My aunt died of an infection in her blood or in simple words negligence after they didn’t clean her bed sores or rotate her she had her leg amputated because she caught such a bad infection. My cousin should have sued them but she was so emotionally damaged and drained she didn’t want to deal with it. Til this day I wish she had.

Nasty people answering the phone. They say Security and then you talk, they say they cant hear you but then they transfer you off into oblivion. It would be nice if the direct number didnt go to Security, unless those are the only people onsite. Geez, who would want to go there?
