Allaire Rehab & Nursing sits in a four-story building from 1984, offering 174 certified beds and an average daily census of 133 residents, and you'll notice right away the place looks like an upscale hotel, with a big outdoor patio, beautiful atrium dining rooms, bistro dining, and concierge service, and the rooms have been renovated for comfort, including 20 private rooms among the mix, and you'll find things like complimentary cable, Wi-Fi, laundry, and housekeeping, and there are weekly religious services and a beauty and barber shop too, which some folks appreciate for day-to-day living. Management is handled by Benjamin Kurland, who's been overseeing things since 2016, and he holds most of the ownership, while Allaire Health Services oversees other similar spots across different states.
Nursing care teams work to help people with both short-term and long-term medical needs, and they provide skilled nursing round the clock along with services like pain management, wound care, respiratory therapy, cardiac care, telemedicine, and palliative care, and they have specialized programs-like the HORIZONS program for brain injury rehab and other neuro rehab efforts for younger adults with conditions such as MS and spina bifida. The staff can handle high-acuity patients and includes nurse practitioners, a wound care physician, respiratory therapists, and outsourced therapy providers, plus there are outpatient therapy options and assistive technology in the computer center to make it easier for residents to communicate and enjoy activities. Some amenities, like transportation for outings or appointments, might cost extra, but there's also resident parking and some complimentary transportation available.
Still, there are some areas where Allaire has struggled, as the facility's record shows repeat deficiencies reported over the years, including not always observing nurse aides' job performance, troubles with medication labeling and storage-like controlled drugs needing to be locked up properly-and some documented lapses tied to resident rights, including dignity and self-determination, as well as pharmacy, nursing, and physician services, which regulators have flagged more than once. Nurse turnover is higher than average with a 62.9% rate compared to the state's 41.8%, which can make it harder to keep care consistent, though nurse hours per resident at 4.33 are above the state's average of 3.9. The facility carries special focus candidate status, which means the government watches it closely due to quality issues, even though it hasn't been officially placed on the list, and it's earned a low review score of just 0.5 stars based on three reviews.
Rooms are kept clean, and there are plenty of activities, local field trips, and on-site events to help people stay engaged, including access to multilingual staff, Kosher and gluten-free dining options, organic special diets, anytime dining, and even massage therapy if needed. The grounds are landscaped for some peace and quiet, and there's an emphasis on blending hotel-like touches with hospital-level care, but the facility hasn't published its prices, and it's always good to ask detailed questions if considering a stay or a placement for a loved one.
