    Excellent nursing after management changes

    I originally praised the courteous, helpful staff, but after a management change many were fired and replaced and care became inadequate - staff seemed uninformed and my feedback went nowhere. After another management change the facility improved dramatically: knowledgeable CNAs and RNs, a wonderful geriatric psychiatrist for dementia, and caregivers who treat residents like family. I now strongly recommend this facility for full-time healthcare - excellent nursing care and deeply caring staff.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is predominantly positive, with multiple reviewers describing Egle Nursing and Rehab Center as a wonderful facility with excellent, caring staff and strong clinical resources. Common praise highlights courteous and helpful caregivers, knowledgeable registered nurses and nursing assistants, and staff who treat residents like family. Several reviewers explicitly call it the best nursing home in the area and strongly recommend it for full-time healthcare. A specific clinical strength noted is access to a geriatric psychiatrist for dementia care, which suggests the facility supports specialized mental health needs for residents with cognitive impairment.

    Care quality is emphasized as a major positive theme: reviewers repeatedly mention "excellent nursing care," "amazing care," and staff who deeply care for residents. These comments indicate consistent hands-on caregiving and a person-centered approach for many residents. The presence of well-trained RNs and assistants supports the impression of competent day-to-day clinical care. At the same time, the reviews document a notable period of decline in perceived care quality associated with a management transition. During that interval, reviewers reported staff firings and replacements, instances of inadequate or uninformed care, and negative feedback from family members. Those comments point to a temporary degradation in reliability and communication that affected residents' experiences.

    Staff and culture are central to the facility's reputation. The dominant theme is that staff are compassionate and treat residents like family, which appears repeatedly across summaries. Knowledgeable clinical staff (both RNs and assistants) are singled out, and the availability of a geriatric psychiatrist is an important differentiator for dementia care. However, the reviews also document specific problems tied to personnel changes: when management made staffing changes, reviewers described gaps in communication and staff being uninformed, which undermined confidence. This contrast shows a facility whose strengths are strongly tied to staff skill and continuity; when personnel stability is disrupted, care quality and communication suffer.

    Management is a key driver of the pattern seen in the reviews. Several summaries describe an initial period of well-regarded care, followed by management change leading to staff firings and replacements and a corresponding drop in perceived care quality. Later, a subsequent management change is credited with improvements that restored the facility's positive standing. This suggests that leadership and administrative decisions have materially affected staffing, culture, and care consistency over time. The overarching pattern is recovery: after the turbulent transition, reviewers report that the facility "appears to be good again," implying successful corrective action by later management.

    There is little specific information in these summaries about non-clinical aspects such as dining, activities, physical plant, or day-to-day amenities; reviewers focus primarily on staff behavior, clinical care, and management. The repeated characterization of the facility as "wonderful" and as providing "full-time health care" support suggests generally favorable impressions of the environment beyond nursing, but the reviews do not provide concrete details about meals, social programming, or facilities.

    In summary, the reviews portray Egle Nursing and Rehab Center as a facility with strong clinical staff and a compassionate caregiving culture, particularly praised for its nursing care and dementia resources. The primary concern raised is management-related turnover that temporarily degraded care and communication; however, later management changes appear to have reversed those problems and restored the facility's positive reputation. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility's strong clinical and compassionate care record while remaining mindful of the potential impact of administrative stability on day-to-day care and communication.

    About Egle Nursing and Rehab Center

    Egle Nursing and Rehab Center sits in Lonaconing, MD, and helps adults who need daily care and skilled nursing in a small, friendly setting with room for 66 residents, which has grown over time from a much smaller place, and it offers both private and semi-private rooms, including studios made for people with walkers or wheelchairs, so folks with different needs can all find a space that fits. Staff are always around to help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, and there's a call system in each room in case someone needs help at any hour, with certified nursing staff there as much as 16 hours a day and 24-hour overall supervision to keep everyone safe and comfortable, and the care covers everything from managing wounds and pain to help with diabetes and special diets, which a Certified Dietary Manager and professional chef oversee to make sure food matches what each person needs, including all-day dining in a restaurant-style setting and meals for allergies or diabetes.

    The center focuses a lot on rehab, so people can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, and there's a special rehabilitation unit for folks recovering from illness, surgery, or injury, as well as memory care programs for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and a restorative nursing program, plus palliative care if needed. There are also on-site podiatry, dental, eye care, lab, and X-ray services, which means people often don't have to travel far for appointments, and transportation with lift-chairs and help is there for any outside needs or for getting to places like nearby hospitals, parks, pharmacies, and worship spots such as Noah's Ark. All residents get activities and programs every day, from fitness and community-sponsored events to arts, games, day trips, movies, and resident-led activities, while inside and out, the place has areas for walking, gardens, an arts room, a library, a computer center, TV, a movie theater, a gaming room, a fitness room, and spa treatments, along with a beauty salon and regular laundry and housekeeping, including dry cleaning.

    The whole center tries to keep a steady, homey feel, with a lot of personal attention thanks to its smaller size and an environment designed around the people living there, and care plans get tailored for each person's needs by a team of experienced healthcare workers, who handle everything from skilled nursing and rehab to dietary support and social activities. Egle Nursing and Rehab Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, self-pay, and private insurances, and gives move-in help to make the transition easier, while high-speed internet and cable TV come standard in each room. The community forms part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, so different types and levels of care, including nursing and residential services, can be found here. The approach here centers on supporting residents in a safe, well-kept space, with help for both medical needs and day-to-day life, and a steady focus on kindness and personal attention every day.
