    Compassionate staff, facility needs upgrades

    I had a mixed experience. The nursing staff, CNAs and therapists were compassionate, skilled, and helped with real rehabilitation - the food, activities and cleanliness were generally good and the place felt home-like and faith-based. But the facility is outdated and cramped (two-person rooms, falling cabinets), with persistent infrastructure problems - roof leaks, plumbing, paper charting, supply shortages - and safety concerns in a crime-prone area plus weak management that sometimes led to neglectful episodes. I'd recommend the care team, but not the facility as-is; major upgrades to safety, staffing and the building are desperately needed.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across reviews is highly mixed and polarized: a strong and recurring pattern of praise for frontline caregivers and rehabilitation services sits alongside repeated and serious complaints about the physical plant, supply problems, staffing consistency, safety, and management. Many reviewers describe exceptional, compassionate nursing care, effective and motivating therapy, clean and odor-free common areas, and good home-cooked food. Conversely, an almost equal number of reviews describe neglectful care, infrastructure failures, supply shortages, and safety concerns. The result is a facility that can provide outstanding care at times but also shows systemic weaknesses that have led to very poor outcomes for some residents.

    Care quality and clinical outcomes: A dominant positive theme is the high quality of direct care from many nurses, CNAs, and therapists. Several reviewers credit the therapy team with significant functional gains (for example, progressing from inability to stand to walking multiple laps), and individual staff members (Terri, Kim, Jermaine, Manning, Nicole, Anna, Regina, Dr. Harvey) are singled out as going the extra mile. Long-tenured staff and moments of excellent, attentive nursing are repeatedly mentioned, and some families felt the environment was dignified, warm, and respectful. However, this is counterbalanced by multiple reports of neglect: unattended patients for hours, delayed bathing and changing, feeding tube mismanagement (off or empty), failure to report critical vitals (e.g., high blood pressure not escalated), and at least one near‑fatal incident leading to hospitalization. These divergent accounts indicate substantial variability in care depending on staffing, shifts, or individual caregivers.

    Staffing, professionalism, and management: Reviews often praise individual staff members and therapy teams, but they also frequently call out problems with staff behavior and leadership. Common negative themes include staff gossiping in hallways, rude or distracted therapists (one described as speaking rudely while on her phone), and CNAs with inconsistent bathing/care technique. Multiple reviewers noted nurse shortages, administrators coming and going, and weak or ineffective management. Several reviews mention an improvement under "new management" and a new philosophy of care, suggesting recent administrative changes may be addressing some issues; however, turnover and inconsistent leadership remain notable concerns that appear to affect staff morale and care consistency.

    Facility condition, safety, and supplies: There are starkly contradictory impressions of the facility environment. Many reviewers describe the facility as very clean, odor-free, and in some cases the "cleanest place I have been," with pleasant views, tidy kitchens, and neat exercise/meeting rooms. On the other hand, a number of reviews detail serious physical plant deficiencies: outdated infrastructure, rusted beds, broken dressers, cramped two-person rooms, persistent plumbing issues (running sinks), roof leaks, and potential mold concerns. Safety-related complaints include reports of bed bugs, feces in rooms, and occurrences of nighttime break-ins or general crime in the surrounding area. Supply problems are also repeatedly noted—shortages of basics like wipes and briefs, difficulty finding hand soap, poor-quality gloves that tear easily—which raises infection control and resident comfort concerns. Additionally, the facility reportedly uses paper charting with no electronic medical record, which reviewers considered a drawback for coordination and modern care standards.

    Therapy, activities, and dining: Rehab and therapy receive many positive comments: daily physical therapy for some residents, committed therapists who push patients to improve, and concrete rehab successes. That said, therapy experiences are not uniformly positive—there are isolated complaints about unprofessional therapists. Dining and activities are frequently praised: several reviewers highlighted good, home-cooked meals and a pleasant dining environment, and others appreciated daily activities and social opportunities, with some describing the place as having a "home-like" or "loving" environment.

    Patterns and recommendations from the reviews: The overall pattern is one of inconsistency. When skilled, compassionate staff are present and supplies are available, residents and families report excellent experiences, meaningful rehab progress, and a supportive atmosphere. When staffing is thin, leadership is weak, supplies are low, or infrastructure failures occur, the facility can produce dangerous lapses in care and serious safety/cleanliness problems. Because of this variability, prospective residents and families should verify current staffing levels, turnover, management stability, supply availability, and recent state survey results before deciding. They should inspect rooms for maintenance issues (beds, dressers, evidence of pests, odors), ask about electronic charting and infection-control protocols, inquire how feeding tube care and vital-sign monitoring are escalated, and seek references about recent therapy outcomes and administrator responsiveness.

    Bottom line: Miracle Hill Nursing and Rehabilitation Center presents as a facility with committed frontline caregivers and strong pockets of rehabilitation excellence, but it simultaneously suffers from significant and recurring infrastructure, supply, safety, and management problems. Individual experiences vary widely—some describe a "hidden gem" with excellent care, while others report neglect that led to hospitalization or worse. The most reliable takeaway from these reviews is that quality appears to depend heavily on the presence of attentive staff and stable management; without those elements, serious risks to resident safety and comfort have been reported.

Their rehab therapy department offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies right there on site, covering short-term recovery and long-term care alike, and a medical director as well as other special consultants come in as needed to help out.
