    Mismanaged facility with neglectful staff

    I placed my father here and overall it was a terrible, painful experience. Administration was rude, reimbursement-focused, and hard to reach - billing was a mess with surprise charges and financial threats. Care was wildly inconsistent: some long-tenured CNAs and therapists (Anita included) were compassionate and helped with rehab, but many nurses/staff were uncaring, slow to answer call bells, verbally abusive, and neglectful; dementia care felt unsafe. The facility was disorganized and sometimes unclean - urine odor, soiled briefs, missing clothes/personal items, and no reliable phones for immobile residents. I cannot recommend this place despite a few excellent staff.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is highly mixed, with some families reporting excellent, compassionate care and successful rehabilitation outcomes, while others describe neglectful, rude, or even abusive treatment. The strongest positive themes are concentrated around dedicated direct-care staff (CNAs and therapists), effective rehabilitation services for many residents, and a small, single-floor facility layout that some families find clean, cozy and family-friendly. Several reviewers praised the food and chef, noted meaningful weight and health improvements, and reported that social opportunities and activities were engaging and helpful. Multiple accounts also highlight successful discharges home after rehab and individualized attention from committed therapy teams and social work staff.

    However, a sizeable portion of reviews describe significant and recurring problems. The most frequent negative reports involve disrespectful or unprofessional staff behavior (including yelling, mocking, and refusal to help), neglect in basic care tasks such as toileting and bathing (urine-soaked clothes, soiled briefs left on or in rooms), and long call-bell response times that compromise resident dignity and safety. Many families reported missing personal items and clothing or laundry mix-ups, which compounded frustrations. Communication and administrative responsiveness are another consistent pain point: families describe difficulty reaching nurses or administrators, room phones that are missing or unanswered, and cold or confrontational interactions with billing and management staff. There are also repeated billing complaints, including unexpected extra charges and a perception of high daily rates.

    Facility and operations issues appear uneven. Some reviewers describe the building as clean, well-maintained, and comfortable with natural light and accessible outdoor spaces, while others report dated rooms, dusty or unclean bathrooms, and an overall worn facility. Likewise, dining reviews are split — several families praise the chef and say residents ate well and gained weight, whereas others found the food bland or reported dietary needs being ignored. Activities and therapies are offered (bingo, puzzles, group games, outdoor time) and are valued by many residents, but several reviewers reported that certain residents were isolated in rooms and not encouraged or allowed to participate in activities.

    Medical oversight and safety are mixed themes. While some reviews note committed therapists and even a 24/7 medical director, others report that the house doctor was rarely seen, transportation to post-op appointments was not arranged, and serious lapses in care led to falls or worsening conditions. There are a few reports of infection outbreaks and broader concerns about dementia care and the dignity afforded to cognitively impaired residents. Several families explicitly filed complaints with state health authorities or described escalating conflicts with administration.

    Taken together, the reviews indicate a facility that can deliver high-quality, compassionate care—particularly in therapy and among long-tenured CNAs—but that also suffers from inconsistent staffing, management, and operational problems that can lead to serious negative experiences. Key patterns to watch for are variability by shift or staff member (some teams excel while others are neglectful), recurrent laundry and personal-item issues, communication and billing friction with administration, and reports of toileting/bathing neglect and long response times. Families considering this facility should expect the potential for excellent hands-on caregiving and rehab outcomes but should also be prepared to closely monitor toileting and personal-care practices, clarify billing and transportation responsibilities upfront, and maintain active communication with administration and therapy staff to address inconsistencies promptly.

    About Beaver Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

    Beaver Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits up in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh, where you'll find 67 certified beds and an average of 53 residents each day, so it never feels too crowded but never feels empty either, and while there are one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites with individual nurse call systems, the rooms remain mostly semi-private, which means folks usually share, keeping things friendly. Residents get skilled nursing care around the clock, with services covering everything from trach care, intravenous therapy, and nutritional support to pain and diabetic management, plus pharmacy, laboratory testing, X-ray, and psychological help, though the nurse hours per resident per day sit at 2.85, which is lower than the state average of 3.9, and there's a whole staff of experienced nurses, administrators, therapists, and activities coordinators who try to bring comfort and care to everyone there. Folks who live at Beaver Healthcare can expect help with bathing, dressing, washing, and feeding, and there's also physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy, while the center offers both long-term and short-term care, including intermediate and respite care, with a focus on treating senior citizens and anyone who needs health and allied services.

    The place has a warm, homelike feeling with plenty of activities, including religious programs, holiday parties, and even the occasional local trip, and transportation gets arranged when needed, so people do get out from time to time. The center's been around since 2018 and it's now managed by Bonamour Health Group LLC, with Robert Aroesty and administrator Herb Rosshross playing key roles, though it's fair to mention that state inspections have found some problems over the years-there have been 88 total deficiencies documented, including twelve related to infection control, and reports show they didn't always run an infection prevention program the way they're supposed to, plus there was an issue with not letting residents self-administer drugs when it was appropriate for their care. Because of serious quality concerns that have cropped up over several inspections, Beaver Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is listed as a Special Focus Facility Candidate, which means it's on the government's radar for the history of issues, though it's not officially flagged as a Special Focus Facility yet. Despite the challenges, the staff aims for excellent clinical care and tries to create a friendly, supportive environment where residents can recover or settle in for longer stays and tours can be scheduled for those who want to see the place in person.
