3 findings in latest survey
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 18% 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.
Apple Creek Health and Rehab receives polarized feedback, with many families praising the clean, modern facility and friendly staff, while others report serious concerns regarding neglect and staffing shortages. While some residents have had successful rehabilitation experiences, others have encountered issues with poor communication, inadequate medical care, and insufficient physical therapy.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff has been great. They have listened to any concerns we’ve had and kept us informed on any health changes.”
“My mother in law was admitted there - she was in for 10 days and her health deteriorated to the point that she had to be transported by ambulance and readmitted at Mercy. Both the paramedics and Mercy hospital reportedly turned Apple Creek in for neglect”
“I have popped in on every shift & different days of the week & have had no complaints.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

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.
