    Summary of reviews

    Reviews describe a facility with important strengths alongside persistent operational weaknesses. Many families praise the caregiving team as compassionate, professional, and supportive; reviewers commonly cite staff who help with personal needs, welcome family involvement, and resolve issues quickly. Leadership changes and new ownership have been highlighted as catalysts for improved morale, better appearance after renovations, and clearer teamwork. Admissions and administrative staff are frequently described as empathetic and helpful, including assistance with paperwork and Medicaid enrollment.

    Care quality is mixed. Positive accounts emphasize attentive, respectful care and timely actions in emergencies, and some reviewers specifically referenced competent CPR and quick assistance in acute situations. However, other reviews point to inconsistent responsiveness, delayed clinical attention, and concerns about clinical escalation. These patterns suggest variability in how promptly and consistently clinical needs are triaged and managed across shifts.

    Operational areas show uneven performance. The building and common areas receive favorable comments about cleanliness and recent updates, and activity programming is described as abundant and engaging. Dining receives more mixed feedback: some families note improvements and acceptable meal service, while others describe limited portions or inconsistent meal quality. Several reviewers also flagged sanitation and incontinence-care delays in specific rooms or shifts, which is a distinct operational concern to monitor.

    Communication and logistics emerge as recurring themes. Families appreciate a family-friendly visitation policy and hands-on admissions staff, yet others report difficulty reaching specific departments, unreturned voicemails, billing disputes, and occasional inaccessibility of facility ownership. Loss or misplacement of personal belongings has been mentioned multiple times, indicating a need for stronger property-management practices.

    Overall pattern: the facility appears to be in a period of positive transition with visible improvements to environment and staff morale under new leadership, and many residents and families express satisfaction with day-to-day care and atmosphere. At the same time, variability in staffing (especially on weekends), inconsistent responsiveness to clinical needs, communication gaps, and logistical issues such as billing and belongings management are recurring operational weaknesses. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility's demonstrable strengths in compassionate caregiving and renovated facilities against the possibility of uneven service consistency, and consider asking management about staffing patterns, incident escalation protocols, and property/billing safeguards during tours and admissions discussions.

    About Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center

    Highlands Health And Rehabilitation Center has 154 certified beds and usually about 144 residents each day, and the nurses here spend an average of 3.13 hours per resident daily, which is lower than the state average of 3.9 hours, though the nurse turnover rate is a bit lower than most places in the state at 42.1%. You'll see that this is a for-profit facility owned by Highlands Nursing And Rehabilitation Holdings LLC, with David Marx having the full indirect ownership, and it does have a total of 29 deficiencies on inspection reports, including 2 for infection control, so it's had some issues meeting certain federal standards about preventing the spread of infections but the facility says they've got plans to make improvements, especially with things like medication management and upkeep. They do both short-term rehab and long-term care, offering 24-hour skilled nursing and helping with daily tasks like getting dressed, moving around, and managing medications, plus there's therapy for balance, IV therapy, and diabetes care, with a staff trained to support seniors. The rooms have seen some remodeling work for comfort, and the activities staff plans outings to bookstores, the movies, and Golden Corral, so residents get outings beyond the facility walls. There's some flexibility with services, too, since they can help set up mental health consultations, x-rays, lab work, podiatry visits, hospice care, and private home care if people need that, and the care teams aim to work with residents to try to improve their skills and keep them as independent as possible. People say the caregivers here are friendly and that the place feels positive, and the care staff wants to give the best care they can, though it's worth knowing that like most places, it's still got some things it's trying to fix.
