    Mostly grateful, concerns about care

    I've had a mixed but mostly grateful experience at Centerburg. The staff treated my husband like family - attentive, caring, communicative, and gave excellent 24/7/respite care that made him comfortable and gave me peace of mind; they handled pandemic care well. My concerns: the building needs repairs (I saw mold and deterioration), leadership and some nurses seemed money-focused, and there were lapses in monitoring (a diaper overflow and delayed sheet changes).

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the collected reviews is strongly positive with recurring praise directed at the staff, the quality of hands-on care, and the small, personal nature of the facility. Multiple reviewers use words like "kind," "caring," "amazing," and say residents are treated "like family." There is consistent mention of attentive, individualized nursing care, around-the-clock coverage, and staff who form friendships with residents. Families report good communication from nurses and staff and describe the experience as providing peace of mind. Respite stays are specifically noted as good experiences, and several reviewers give the facility a high overall rating and strong recommendation.

    Care quality emerges as the dominant positive theme. Reviewers repeatedly highlight competent nursing and caregiving — 24/7 coverage, responsive attention to needs, and staff who listen and make residents comfortable. One summary states the staff made the reviewer’s father comfortable, and others describe the care during the pandemic as handled well. These comments suggest a reliable day-to-day clinical environment and a staff culture focused on resident well-being.

    Staff and culture form a second major positive cluster. The small size of the facility is framed positively in multiple reviews: it contributes to a home-like atmosphere where staff get to know residents and build relationships. Reviewers emphasize warmth, friendliness, and personalized attention; several note staff behave like family and create a supportive environment for both residents and visiting family members.

    However, there are notable and serious concerns that temper the otherwise favorable picture. Several reviews report specific hygiene and monitoring problems: a diaper overflow incident, lapses in monitoring, and sheets that were not changed promptly. These items are concrete safety and dignity issues that contrast with the otherwise strong reports of attentive care. Facility condition also receives mixed feedback: while one reviewer calls the building clean, another alleges mold and general structural decline, even saying the building was "falling down." This suggests variability in maintenance or differing perceptions among reviewers and indicates the need to probe facility upkeep and environmental safety.

    Management and leadership receive the most polarized feedback. While staff on the floor are widely praised, at least one reviewer accuses the administrator of dishonesty, describes the director of nursing as "worthless," and perceives the operation as "money-focused." These are serious criticisms that speak to trust and managerial transparency rather than day-to-day caregiving. Because managerial issues can affect staffing, maintenance, and accountability, such comments are important even if they come from a minority of reviewers.

    Other areas mentioned less frequently or not at all include dining and activities. The supplied summaries do not offer substantive feedback on meals, recreational programming, therapy offerings beyond "specialty rehab" in the facility name, or social activities; this represents an information gap. Likewise, while pandemic care is mentioned positively, there is little specific detail about infection-control protocols, therapy quality, or specialized clinical outcomes.

    In sum, the dominant pattern is that Centerburg Respiratory and Specialty Rehab Center is praised for compassionate, attentive staff and reliable, round-the-clock nursing care in a small, supportive setting that gives families peace of mind. Offsetting that are serious, actionable concerns from a subset of reviewers about hygiene incidents, inconsistent housekeeping, possible mold or building disrepair, and troubling allegations regarding administrative honesty and priorities. Those patterns suggest the facility has strong frontline caregiving but may have lapses or variability in environmental maintenance and leadership transparency. Prospective residents and families would likely benefit from asking targeted questions about housekeeping procedures, infection-control and linen-change protocols, recent maintenance/repair work, and management accountability during tours or intake discussions.

    About Centerburg Respiratory and Specialty Rehab Center

    Centerburg Respiratory and Specialty Rehab Center sits in Centerburg, Ohio, on a 2.5-acre property with seven parcels, close to rental homes and part of Knox County, and you'll find it's a skilled nursing facility that's part of the Saber Healthcare Group, mostly known for its respiratory therapy and specialty rehabilitation services, often helping people after surgeries, illness, or hospital stays, especially those needing help for stroke, spine, lung disease, post-surgery recovery, neuromuscular disorders, wound management, and hospice care, and it's got a pulmonologist and 24/7 respiratory therapists to help with chronic lung disease and breathing problems day and night. While it has over twenty years of history, you'll find it only has 35 certified beds, though right now 17 are available as of February 2025, but no new patients are being accepted since the place is empty and scheduled for demolition, as the building, with its tiny rooms, shared bathrooms, and common shower spaces, just doesn't meet today's expectations for comfort or safety and needs asbestos removal anyway. The facility's earned a two-star out of five star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and carries an average 6.8 out of 10 rating, which makes it second out of the two communities in town, and it provides basic amenities like furnished rooms, a dining room, move-in help, housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, special diets, movie nights, and community events, though the rooms are small and bathrooms are shared between rooms, and there's an emergency alert system and supervision at all hours. Staff offer help with medications, bathing, dressing, and daily tasks, and the place has 24/7 nursing care, medication management, therapy for speech, physical, and occupational needs, and teams of healthcare professionals planning care for each person. The site's not part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community but sits nearby, and is considered to have met industry standards for medical care, though considered too cramped for modern needs; there are resident and family councils to help improve care and life for everyone, and you'll find a focus on both health and independence, but not luxury or extra space. As it stands, the Centerburg Respiratory and Specialty Rehab Center is vacant, with a plan for the land bank to turn the site into green space for the village with picnic tables, a stage, and local farmers market and community events, and water and power will be disconnected soon while the old building gets demolished, once the $200,000 cost's covered. The site will likely become a gathering spot for the town, and folks who used to find short-term or long-term respiratory and specialty nursing care here will need to look elsewhere in the future.
