Scottdale Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

Scottdale Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits at 900 Porter Ave in Scottdale, Pennsylvania, and holds 35 certified beds for Medicare and Medicaid residents, but the daily census usually hovers around 28 people, which means some rooms might stay empty from time to time, and this for-profit facility, managed by Bonamour Health Group LLC since December 2024, tends to have a lot going on both in care and services, with a focus on both short-term rehab stays and long-term care needs including memory care, respite care for families, non-ambulatory support, and even complex wound care, and there's an on-site rehab center where residents work with physical, occupational, and speech therapy staff using therapy equipment set out for daily routines or special goals, and the team provides help with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, with a round-the-clock call system so staff can respond day or night. Residents get meals cooked and served with adjustments for special diets, and join a range of activities, like arts in the art room, movie nights, walks outdoors along the paths, haircuts at the barber/salon, and gardening, plus organized events meant to keep people moving or engaged. A care team that includes Administrator Courtney Boord, Director of Nursing Melissa Rhodes, and Business Development Liaison Stephen Gaetas is there for residents and their loved ones, helping set up individual care plans and making regular check-ins. The nursing team works more hours per resident than most places in Pennsylvania, with 4.53 nurse hours compared to the state average of 3.9, which sometimes means more hands-on time. The facility isn't part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so it focuses on nursing home and rehab care as its main purpose. Now, Scottdale Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center has faced some tough inspection reports, with a total of 53 deficiencies, including problems meeting quality of life standards, issues around resident rights during transfers or discharges, and some serious lapses in pharmacy services that mean they've had trouble keeping up with licensed pharmacist requirements. Inspectors also found four infection-related issues that broke federal standards, which is something to keep in mind. Even so, the staff tries to support each resident's well-being as they can, working within a warm environment that tries to make daily life comfortable, safe, and as uplifting as possible, and while they offer a good range of medical and support services, the record shows there have been challenges along the way, so it helps to ask plenty of questions and maybe check the latest reviews or planning a visit if considering this facility.
