    Excellent care friendly staff recommend

    I'm very happy with Cadia - the nursing and therapy care are excellent, staff are friendly and caring, and they keep us well informed with proactive updates about medications and care. The facility is clean and new, meals are good, and despite occasional understaffing I would wholeheartedly recommend it to a loved one.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the review summaries for Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance is strongly positive. Reviewers repeatedly praise the quality of clinical care, especially nursing and therapy services, and many explicitly state they would recommend the facility to friends or family. Words and phrases appearing across multiple summaries — such as "outstanding nurse," "excellent therapist," "great nursing care," and "excellent therapy" — indicate that clinical competence and rehabilitation outcomes are consistent strengths. Several reviews also highlight good clinical communication, including timely updates about medication changes, which supports confidence in care coordination.

    Staff behavior and interpersonal interactions are a major positive theme. Reviews emphasize that staff are friendly, courteous, helpful, and smiling — descriptors that suggest a warm atmosphere and respectful resident treatment. Multiple comments note staff responsiveness and proactive communication: families receive informative updates, and meetings are scheduled to keep them informed. This pattern of proactive family engagement appears to be a deliberate practice at the facility and contributes heavily to the positive impressions reported by reviewers.

    The physical environment and amenities receive favorable remarks as well. Many summaries describe the facility as very clean and note that it is a newer facility. Cleanliness is mentioned repeatedly, reinforcing the sense of a well-maintained setting. Dining gets generally positive but more moderate feedback — reviewers say residents "like the food" and that meals are "pretty good," indicating that dining is acceptable and satisfactory though not necessarily exceptional in the same emphatic way as clinical care and staff interactions.

    Despite the overwhelmingly positive tone, there are recurring operational concerns worth noting. Several reviews mention understaffing and a high number of patients. Those comments suggest that staffing levels and patient census can create a busy environment and may be perceived as a constraint on resources. While reviewers still report good care and responsiveness overall, the presence of understaffing remarks indicates a vulnerability: if census rises or staff turnover occurs, the facility could face challenges maintaining the current level of individualized attention. The reviews do not provide detailed examples of negative outcomes linked to staffing, but the concern appears frequently enough to record as a notable pattern.

    In summary, Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance is consistently viewed by reviewers as delivering high-quality clinical care, particularly in nursing and therapy, within a clean, newer facility staffed by warm and communicative caregivers. Families appreciate proactive communication and scheduled updates, and many explicitly recommend the facility. The main area of concern across the summaries is staffing levels and a high patient load, which reviewers mention as a limitation even though it has not, in these summaries, overridden the generally favorable experiences. Overall, the reviews portray Cadia as a strong choice in the area for rehabilitation and short-term care, with one operational risk to monitor around staffing and patient volume.

    About Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance

    Cadia Rehabilitation Renaissance sits at 26002 John J Williams Highway in Millsboro, Delaware, right in Sussex County just minutes from Rehoboth Beach, and the place has 130 certified beds and takes care of a lot of different health needs, with skilled nursing, high acuity care, medication management, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, specialized memory care in a secure unit, skilled wound care, feeding tube and ostomy care, CHF and COPD management, diabetes care, stroke recovery, dementia care, catheter care, and also offers hospice and palliative services, while providing rehabilitation services using physical, occupational, and speech therapy with deep heat and multiple pain reduction options, as well as therapy using computerized exercise cycles, nerve and muscle stimulation, video swallowing assessment, augmented communication systems, and even some virtual reality therapy, and there's always a registered dietitian on site making custom meal programs, with restaurant-style dining and chef-inspired entrees so people can get nutrition that fits their needs, and although the staff is called wonderful, anyone can see there's a high nurse turnover rate at 68% and nurses put in about 3.65 hours per resident per day, which is below the Delaware average, and the place isn't accepting new patients right now. The owners are Schafer Family LLC and Silver Holdings LLC, each with half the ownership, and the place is run for profit, and management changed in December 2024 to Elizabeth Price and Laura Dittmar, with Onix Group LLC involved since 2017 and Long Term Care Corp since 2008, and the ownership has some trusts for family members. The place had a standard inspection on September 19, 2024, showing 16 new deficiencies, including one around infection control, and overall there are 43 reported deficiencies, with two tied to infections, and past citations included an administration deficiency about not informing people of their arbitration rights and a residents' rights deficiency around dignity and communication, so there's some room for improvement. Rooms are described as large and semi-private, every room has a television, there's free Wi-Fi and good internet, and there's ample parking for visitors. Staff speak English and some other languages, and there's help with touring, admissions, and supporting current patients. The building also offers a virtual tour online. The rehabilitation program is personalized for each patient, and the care team includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, medical directors, nurse practitioners, and consulting specialty doctors, and care transitions and discharge planning start at admission so there's a focus on timely and safe transitions home. There's a memory care program for people with dementia and a variety of features aimed at supporting recovery and daily life, though the full list of amenities isn't specified.
