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.
Cadia Rehabilitation Capitol has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include clean, modern facility environment. Some reviewers note concerns about chronic understaffing leading to long wait times for call lights (mentioned by 4 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Cadia Rehabilitation Capitol receives deeply polarized feedback, with families frequently reporting serious concerns regarding neglect, poor communication, and understaffing. While some reviewers praise the physical environment and specific staff members, many others describe traumatic experiences involving medication errors, hygiene failures, and a lack of responsiveness to patient needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses are nasty and totally ignored any of my mom's concerns.”
“Some of these patients are sitting in wait with their call lights on for absolutely ridiculous amounts of time or the aides will pop in...turn off the light.. say they will be back.. and are so swamped they miss the return to take care of the issue.”
“The improvement in Richard was amazing in such a short time! It was a team effort including p-t, o-t, speech and other support personnel.”
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.

Families have filed 15 complaints against this facility, triggering investigations that revealed serious issues with abuse and neglect protections, medication management, and food safety.
