    Attentive staff, clean welcoming community

    I'm very pleased with the care here - staff are friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive, offering personalized, therapy-focused support. The community feels clean, welcoming, and refreshed under new management, with plenty of activities like bingo, game nights, and movies to keep residents engaged. Special thanks to Kenya Gates for going above and beyond; I feel my loved one is safe and well cared for and would recommend this community.

    Summary of reviews

    Centennial Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is described primarily as a facility with consistently praised caregiving staff and a clear rehabilitation focus. Reviewers emphasize compassionate, attentive nurses and aides, frequent references to staff professionalism, and a patient-centered approach to daily care. Several accounts single out individual staff for going above and beyond, and overall sentiment about clinical attention and daily oversight is positive.

    Clinical and therapy services are a relative strength. The facility appears to offer structured rehabilitation and therapy programming, and families note attentive nursing coverage and a focus on resident comfort. That said, there are operational patterns indicating variable staffing levels; while many reviewers describe well-staffed shifts and responsive caregivers, others reference occasional shortages. Communication about therapy timing and individual care plans is an area of concern—families noted at least one instance where rehab timing was not clearly communicated, suggesting a need for more consistent family-facing scheduling practices.

    Dining is the most frequently cited weakness. Multiple comments describe unappealing meals and problems with food temperature and variety; one reviewer contrasted this by saying food was good, indicating inconsistency. Overall, the pattern points to a need for menu revision and improved meal-service processes to ensure consistent presentation and temperature control.

    Activity programming and community life receive generally favorable remarks. The facility runs a variety of social options—game nights, bingo, movie nights, card games—and reviewers often describe an active communal atmosphere and positive resident engagement. However, a few accounts describe limited activities or uneven availability, which suggests programming may vary by unit or shift and could benefit from more consistent scheduling and communication to families and residents.

    The physical plant shows signs of aging. Multiple comments reference dated furniture, community areas that would benefit from updates, limited elevator availability, and an older room layout. At the same time, several reviewers report improvements to cleanliness and atmosphere under newer management, noting clean beds, rooms, and hallways and a reduction in prior sanitation and odor concerns. This indicates management has taken steps toward environmental improvement, but capital updates and longer-term facility investments remain outstanding.

    In summary, Centennial presents a mix of strong caregiving and rehabilitation services with operational weaknesses that prospective residents and families should weigh. Strengths include engaged, compassionate staff, an active activities program, and evidence of improved cleanliness under current management. Primary concerns are the aging infrastructure, inconsistent dining quality and temperature control, periodic staffing variability, and communication gaps around therapy scheduling. Families prioritizing hands-on clinical care and social programming may find this facility a good fit, while those for whom updated accommodations and reliable meal service are top priorities should seek clarifying information during tours and admissions discussions.

    About Centennial Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

    Centennial Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center provides a broad range of care for seniors with many options under one roof, and the community is a three-story building with 180 beds where seniors can find skilled nursing, independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement community services, and if someone needs it, subacute rehab, orthopedic rehab, wound care, cardiac recovery, respiratory care, and comfort care are all available, along with long-term care if needed. There's a dedicated Veterans Wing for those who served, including special programs to honor and support veterans, and since the community is a VA contracted facility and an acceptance center for Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurances, many folks find the care accessible. Some rooms offer comforts like cable TV, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi so residents can relax, watch their shows, or keep in touch with family, and there's a full schedule of activities, a chapel, and even an on-site beauty salon for anyone wanting to look their best. Laundry and concierge services are included, with care provided by a nursing and physician staff, though nurse turnover is a bit higher than the state average, and nurse staffing hours are a bit lower. The community's day-to-day leadership has been steady since December 2012 under Tuvya Blumenkrantz, and most of the ownership is held by Colev Gestetner. As with any facility, there have been some noted deficiencies, including issues with posting nurse staffing info, care planning, and following care plans, totaling 18 deficiencies in recent inspections, so it's worthwhile for families to review reports and ask questions. The team does focus on treating residents with dignity and respect, trying to make the environment feel like home, and whether someone is there for short stays or for longer-term needs, the programs are set up for rest, recuperation, or ongoing support, and personalized rehab plans focus on each person's health goals, especially for those recovering from joint replacement, cardiac events, or complex wounds.
