What this means for your family
This facility is highly effective for intensive physical rehabilitation, with several families reporting life-changing recovery for stroke and surgery patients. However, if you are looking for long-term skilled nursing, proceed with extreme caution; multiple families have documented serious failures in hygiene, feeding, and responsiveness to call bells.

43 reviews on Google“Families seeking intensive rehabilitation may find excellent results, as many reviewers praise the physical and occupational therapy teams for helping patients regain mobility after major surgeries or accidents. However, there are significant and recurring reports of neglect in the skilled nursing wing, specifically regarding inadequate hygiene, failure to assist with feeding, and unresponsive call bells. While the rehab hospital receives high praise, the nursing center faces serious allegations of understaffing and poor communication.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Allied Services has recurring inspection issues with families filing multiple complaints leading to citations, particularly in care planning, medication management, and infection control appearing across multiple surveys from 2023-2025. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated problems in core care areas and ongoing complaint-triggered investigations suggests persistent quality concerns families should carefully evaluate.
