Overall sentiment in the collected reviews for Perry County Nursing & Rehab Center is mixed but leans positive in many practical day-to-day aspects of care and campus life, while revealing some notable administrative and serious allegation concerns. Multiple reviewers emphasize a clean, odor-free, and well-maintained facility with immaculately kept grounds and a gated property that includes walking trails. The physical environment, including common spaces and outdoor areas, is repeatedly described as attractive and cared for.
Care quality and staffing receive frequent praise. Reviewers commonly report a high staff-to-patient ratio, courteous and gentle caregivers, and attentive care—especially in the memory-care wing. Staff are characterized variously as friendly, kind, and “like family,” and some families note that staff promptly notify them of issues. There are several reports that clinical care is at least adequate or better than average, with some specific positive outcomes such as weight gain in a resident attributed to the facility’s care and food.
Dining is a clear strength in many accounts: reviewers describe excellent, varied, and well-prepared meals, with one reviewer specifically mentioning seafood gumbo and others noting tailored or exceptional meals. Food presentation and perceived nutrition are cited positively, and several reviewers state that meals appear healthy and appealing.
Activities programming is another consistently positive theme. Multiple reviews list frequent, engaging activities—bingo, art classes, puzzles, painting, movie nights, and visiting musicians or guest singers—suggesting an active social calendar that many residents and families appreciate. These offerings contribute to reviewers calling the facility a “very good place to live.”
Room and accessibility issues are mixed. The facility appears to offer shared two-bedroom rooms with a shared bath as a common option; some reviewers report that shared rooms provide plenty of space, while others note that space can be tight for wheelchair users and that families would prefer private rooms. Affordability is mentioned positively, but the desire for more private accommodations recurs.
Administrative and operational concerns emerge as a recurring theme in a subset of reviews. Problems include misplacement of residents’ possessions without recovery, miscommunication with physicians requiring families to repeat information, and perceived lapses in administration coordination. Financial/operational friction is also reported: the facility has no on-site bank and charges a $6 cashing fee for checks, which at least one reviewer found unfair and dissatisfying. These issues suggest gaps in back-office procedures, communication workflows, and resident belongings management.
More serious are a few strong negative allegations: at least one review accuses the facility of poor treatment of residents and workers and calls for a shutdown. These are significant claims that contrast sharply with the generally positive reports about staff compassion and care quality. The presence of such serious accusations alongside multiple positive testimonials indicates inconsistent experiences among residents and families or isolated but severe incidents. The reviews do not provide enough detail to adjudicate these claims here, but their existence is a material concern that warrants further inquiry by prospective residents, families, or oversight bodies.
In summary, Perry County Nursing & Rehab Center is widely reported to offer a clean, attractive campus with attentive caregiving in many cases, strong dining, and active programming—attributes that make it a comfortable and affordable option for many residents. However, prospective residents and families should be aware of recurring administrative shortcomings (communication with doctors, lost possessions, fees) and pay attention to the more serious negative allegations reported by a minority of reviewers. Those considering the facility should ask specific questions about room types and wheelchair accessibility, policies for safeguarding personal items, administrative communication protocols with physicians, and any documented incidents or complaints to get a full, up-to-date picture before deciding.
