Meadow View Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits right in Montrose, Pennsylvania, and is known as both Meadow View Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in some places, and while folks might notice there's a range of care services here from skilled nursing to short-term rehab and long-term care, the center itself has about 63 certified beds and offers things like therapy-physical, occupational, and speech-alongside basic services such as laundry, housekeeping, dining, and activities, which all sound nice if someone's looking for support, though families should know there've been some real concerns. The staff here tries to make people comfortable, maintain dignity, and help folks keep as much independence as possible, setting up personalized care plans for each resident which can be really helpful because a good number, over half, live with dementia and almost two-thirds spend much of their day in bed or a wheelchair, with nearly everyone needing significant help transferring, with toileting, or managing continence. They've got a dedicated team of nursing staff, therapy, dietary folks, social workers, and others looking after people, and there's even a licensed pharmacist on board to help with medication and specialized care like catheter support and managing infection control, which you'd hope would be tight after finding out about those deficiencies.
Now, even with these programs in place-including respite for short stays-inspection reports haven't been good, and folks should know the center's dealt with a total of 43 deficiencies, some tied directly to infection control, and, to be clear, actual harm incidents to residents have happened, showing up across multiple inspections. In staffing, data's showing the facility delivered about 3.11 total care hours per resident per day in 2024, with nursing assistant (CNA) time averaging only 1.77 hours per resident daily, which falls below the safety threshold the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sets at 2.0, and that low staffing happened on 83.5% of days, which isn't a small issue. The nurse turnover rate is high, over 60%, which is well above the state average, and the overall nurse staffing time is also lower than what's typical for Pennsylvania.
Ownership's changed hands a few times, with Century III Pennsylvania Holdco LLC holding the direct ownership recently and management going through Ralley LLC since 2023. It's a for-profit business and part of the Century Healthcare family, and there's talk about a lot of resources for long-term care guidance, family planning, and insurance, but the center's been stuck with the worst possible ratings in both staffing and health inspections, with the lowest marks spanning many months and a spot on the NHAA Watchlist after real harm to residents came to light in reports. They do let potential residents and families visit, tour the facility, and meet some of the staff, which could help when considering the center, since the facility really does continue to provide services for seniors who need a lot of help, especially those who might need to transfer from a hospital to skilled nursing, or who are too frail to be cared for at home.
At the end of the day, Meadow View Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center does provide necessary care and has amenities for comfort, but the ongoing history of low staffing, frequent deficiencies, and many low inspection ratings mean families should weigh all these details if they're considering it for their loved one.
