No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 86% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Alliance Care Rehabilitation and Nursing Center receives polarized feedback, with many visitors praising the clean, modern lobby and friendly staff, while others report severe concerns regarding inpatient care. Families frequently highlight the facility's aesthetic appeal and professional front-desk service, but multiple critical reviews describe significant neglect, slow response times to call bells, and poor communication from the social services department. The facility appears to have a stark contrast between the well-maintained public areas and the conditions on upper inpatient floors.

Key Review Excerpts
“Families evaluating this facility should be aware that the public-facing first floor differs significantly from the inpatient care floors. While the lobby areas are well presented, our experience on the inpatient floor raised concerns about care oversight for a medically complex patient.”
“The social worker is unhelpful and never returns anyone’s phone calls. My Dad has been there for 2 months and no one has updated us on his progress or anything. We have to constantly call in hopes of getting an answer.”
“The staff was so helpful and accommodating. We went to the wrong floor and two people were helping us to get to the correct room. A+ for going over and beyond!!!”
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.
