Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center

Unspeakable. .. Patient care violations across the board... Reluctance seems to be the culture. I am appalled and flabbergasted with my observations....

My father is there for rehab for the second time. First was knee replacement and this time another surgery. Room is clean and pleasant and he says the food is good. The physical therapy is good and staff seems pretty good since my Dad isn't complaint about anything there. This is short term care so I cannot comment on long term or residence issues.

Da nurses at TCC most of dem r lazy and disrespectful.

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy! The best part of this facility is the roof it provides from a rainy day and the discharge. If you love your family member please don't send them here. It's one of those places where everyone's busy but nothing gets done. What a terrible experience my family had sending my aunt there. Unfortunately it was the only Dialysis onsite location in Manhattan. They steal everything from food to your belongings. One time I went to visit my aunt she hadn't been washed in over a day, her womb dressing hadn't been changed and I had to literally search for linen and gauze to change her bed and wombs myself. I asked for help and a staff member/nurse tells me "I'm busy, I cant help you" after I asked her where to find the linen. They dropped my aunt 2 times reopening the womb on her leg from a recent surgery and their excuse was they didn't know she was an amputee. So, Again I beg you don't send your loved ones to this place!

my son, weylin, has been a resident at "tcc" for 20 years, since he was 1 year old. he was born severely disabled and needs to be on a bi-pap machine to help him breathe. one of the very few locations in the country that offers 24 hour care for patients on bi-pap machines is tcc. the two floors that care for children and young adults that are severely disabled are called "SPECIALTY UNITS". the rest of tcc, which takes up the entire block of 106st.and 5 th.ave.,is divided among a nursing home, aids unit, Huntington's unit, dialysis, etc.. yes, nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement, but as far as I can tell, tcc is full of loving, caring people who try to do their best to help the less unfortunate. from the awesome nurses, hardworking c.n.a's , security guards, housekeepers, administrators to the kitchen staff, engineering department and physical therapists. the social workers are amazing. again, there is always room for improvement but the intentions at tcc are good and the entire staff that has taken care of my child and others are very special people.
