This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 85% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 6 findings, above the AL average of 3.9. 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.
Civic Center Health and Rehabilitation faces severe criticism regarding staff responsiveness, professionalism, and the security of patient belongings. While one recent reviewer noted satisfaction with cleanliness and care, the overwhelming majority of feedback describes a neglectful environment where staff are perceived as lazy, uncaring, and difficult to reach.

Key Review Excerpts
“I literally stood at the door on purpose one day and called back to back and was constantly ringing the bell at the same time. I was hearing the phone in the building ringing and literally nobody answered the door or phone within those 30 minutes.”
“They are very irresponsible when handling patient belongings! I've be very patient waiting on them to replace my fathers belongings! The only thing I can say is they have a staff that steals from the patients!”
“Brother been here for 2 months . Overall cleanliness , and care is good.”
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.

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.
