Aberjona Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly effective physical and occupational therapy and attentive and compassionate nursing management. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Aberjona Rehabilitation and Nursing Center presents a polarized experience, with many families praising the dedicated physical therapy team and specific nursing managers like Kushie Rana for providing compassionate, attentive care. However, a significant number of reviewers report severe issues with understaffing, long response times for call lights, and inconsistent communication, leading to concerns about basic patient safety and neglect.

Key Review Excerpts
“Call bell response times are well over the 7 minute standard- in fact an hour or more is typical. The meals are not nutritious or healthful and consist of chicken nuggets, French fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
