3 findings in latest survey
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 89% 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.
Carnegie Park Post Acute receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the physical and occupational therapy teams for successful recovery outcomes. However, a significant number of reviewers report serious concerns regarding cleanliness, understaffing, and inconsistent communication, particularly on weekends. Potential families should be aware of the facility's history of name changes and the reported reliance on agency staff.

Key Review Excerpts
“My 85-year-old dad improved tremendously during his stay, and I felt relieved to know that he was in good hands on days that I could not visit.”
“Don't get admitted on a weekend, no one actually 'works there' they are all agency and do not know where basic supplies are.”
“This place is dirty. I complained to the DON and Supervisor a bout ants and the baseboard that is dirty and falling apart with garbage behind his bed.”
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.

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.
