This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 87% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 4 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.
Eastview Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the staff for their kindness and care, while others report serious concerns regarding neglect, poor communication, and facility maintenance. Recent reports include distressing allegations of pest infestations and staff misconduct, suggesting significant inconsistencies in the quality of care provided.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father in law suffers from Alzheimers and has a traumatic brain injury and was placed here 4 weeks ago. They have treated him so very well. They make sure he is taken care of.”
“It's a joke. It's a nurse named Albright that's horrific. She lies and the administration takes up for her and thinks she can do no wrong. It's very disappointing. I currently live here and there are a family of rats in my closet.”
“This place started out for a year doing a great job ! Then they became very irresponsible at their duties with my dad clothes and belongings! They lost a whole wardrobe of clothes ,but I think one of the staff members stole them!!”
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.

This facility has a concerning pattern of repeated fire safety violations across multiple years, with sprinkler system and smoke protection issues appearing in 2019, 2020, and 2023.

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.
