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 67% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 9 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.
Elite Nursing and Rehabilitation Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many visitors praising the clean, welcoming environment and friendly staff. However, several family members and residents report serious concerns regarding chronic understaffing, poor communication from administration, and lapses in basic hygiene and patient care. Families should be aware that while many report a positive experience, there is a consistent pattern of complaints regarding responsiveness and facility maintenance.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff are always friendly, helpful and genuinely kind to me as a visitor, and especially to my mom who enjoys living here in her own apartment! They are gradually updating the building and the improvements look great.”
“The staff were accommodating and extremely helpful in my recovery. I enjoyed working with the PT department and went from coming in on a stretcher, to managing a wheelchair and then to a walker.”
“I’ve had multiple personal items stolen and the staff is generally very unprofessional and don’t provide care in a timely manner. The building has a roach and rat problem.”
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
