    Excellent short-term rehab, clean, friendly

    I had a very good short-term rehab stay - nurses gave excellent care, staff (including administrator Celia) were friendly and made time for me, and the rooms, halls, and building were clean and quieter than my last visit. I saw clear improvement since my prior stay, residents looked well, and I would return and recommend this place to friends and family.

    Summary of reviews

    Reviews of this facility are mixed and present clear patterns on both strengths and operational weaknesses. Positive notes describe helpful administrative support (notably assistance with billing and an accessible business office), effective social-services leadership, and pockets of compassionate direct care staff. The facility appears to provide effective short-term rehabilitation for some residents, and several accounts describe measurable clinical improvement after transfer into a different care setting. A Medicare three-star rating is noted and some visitors report cleaner, quieter conditions and constructive responses from an identified administrator.

    Clinical-care themes are uneven. While some nurses and aides are described as attentive, there are recurring reports of staffing shortages that correlate with delayed responses to call systems, inconsistent bathing and toileting assistance, and concerns about medication management and supply reorders. Several families described episodes where a residentโ€™s alertness or mobility declined and later improved after transfer; reviewers interpret these as both clinical and medication-management issues. There are also specific mentions of safety and transfer-practice gaps (delayed assistance after falls, broken equipment) that raise operational safety concerns.

    Operational and environmental issues are prominent. Reviews identify sanitation concerns, odor issues, and pest-control deficiencies in parts of the building, alongside maintenance shortfalls such as nonfunctional sinks, broken beds, and temperature-control problems. Dining receives frequent criticism for inconsistent quality and palatability, and activities programming is frequently described as limited or insufficient to engage residents. Room layout and occupancy practices have created privacy challenges for some residents.

    Staff culture and management communication are mixed. Positive examples include an involved administrator and proactive social-services staff who resolved specific issues; however, reviewers also note inconsistent tone and responsiveness from nursing leadership and frontline staff, difficulties reaching staff by phone, delayed medical assessments, and, in a few serious accounts, allegations of missing personal belongings. The facility has received complaints that prompted external notification in at least one instance, indicating areas where regulatory scrutiny or oversight has been sought.

    For prospective residents and families: the facility demonstrates capacity for competent short-term rehab and has administrative resources that can be helpful, but there are consistent operational weaknesses to considerโ€”notably staffing reliability, sanitation and maintenance, dining quality, and communication practices. If considering placement, verify current staffing levels, pest-control and maintenance remediation actions, medication-reorder procedures, activity offerings, and how the facility documents and responds to family concerns or regulatory reviews. Visiting at different times of day, speaking directly with nursing leadership and the social-services director, and confirming post-admission monitoring plans can help assess whether the facilityโ€™s current conditions meet your expectations.
