Unfortunately, I was a resident at Salisbury Nursing & Rehab. Center for over 6 months. My experience there found that the place should be closed immediately!!
When a patient at that facility is flat on their back and unable to move and is UNABLE TO EVEN GET A DRINK OF WATER - it is in a sad state of operation for the facility. Friends and family provided me with bottled water in order for me to have a supply available when needed, although it was not cold - anything wet was delicious!
I was cursed by members of the staff because I used the call bell to ask that my urinal be emptied. The urinal was so full that it could not be used again without causing a spill (and more yelling and cursing from the staff - for messing up the bed!).
The therapy staff is very caring, but the care staff leaves a lot to be desired. The poor care that I was given, was after being forced to go there by P.R.M.C. In addition, I was fortunate to have high end BC BS insurance that was billed by Salisbury Nursing Home for over $10,850.00 PER MONTH WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY PHYSICAL THERAPY.
Hell on earth - Salisbury Nuring and Rehabilitation Center - or whatever they are called today - I am sure they will change the name to protect the hospital and those who are filling their pockets daily without doing any work.

sad to say this is what happens when goverment is more worried about supporting welfare than supplying or supporting the education for better nurses/GNAs.
Wicomico Nursing Home is by far the best in the county, but they aren't in the business for rehab. If you want inhouse rehab then you should be in a facility like Chesapeake Rehab Hospital or Deers Head. Nursing homes started getting in the "rehab" business several years ago to collect that insurance money that was readily available.
A main reason for PRMC referring patients to Salisbury Nursing is that PRMC owns just over half of the Salisbury Nursing!

Gone are the days when they filled a water pitcher.Now they use a styerfoam cup(if your lucky to get)When my grandmother was in there I had to fill it myself because the same cup sat there all day. When she told them she had to go to the bathroom they told her to go on her self which was very upsetting because she had never done that. She was there for therpy and they left her in bed most of the time and when they did get her up and it was time to get back in bed she had to wait forever because they did not have enough help.
