These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 21% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 15 findings, above the PA average of 10.1. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Accela Rehab and Care Center at Somerton receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the therapy team and recent facility renovations, while others report severe concerns regarding patient neglect and unprofessional conduct. Families should be aware of a significant divide between those who feel their loved ones are well-cared for and those who describe a lack of basic hygiene, poor communication, and inadequate staffing.

Key Review Excerpts
“The rooms are spotless, bright, and cheerful. I rest in peace knowing he gets tender, love, and care by a team of professionals!”
“I was in the facility for almost one month for nursing care, I am satisfied with my level of care and professional support in the facility.”
“My brother died here. He was only 44 years old. He got sick at this facility. I begged them to send him to the hospital 3 days in a row. I begged the nurses and the head of the staff.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
