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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 74% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 12 findings, above the PA average of 10.1. 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.
Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab receives polarized feedback, with some visitors praising the facility's cleanliness and rehab resources, while family members report significant issues with management and responsiveness. Concerns frequently center on unprofessional staff behavior, long wait times for assistance, and inconsistent communication regarding resident care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately put my mind at ease. The staff members were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive.”
“Why would it take one hour and ten minutes to answer a call to use the rest room”
“However, overall, management is an utter disgrace. I had to call there approx 5 x's a week with one problem or another. This was extremely frustrating and took up a lot of my time.”
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.
