What this means for your family

While many families report excellent experiences with the therapy and nursing teams, the recent reports of overcrowding and sanitation issues are concerning. We strongly recommend an in-person tour where you specifically request to see the room configuration and ask about current staff-to-patient ratios on the floor where your loved one will reside.

Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center receives overwhelming praise for its attentive nursing staff, helpful social workers, and effective rehabilitation therapy department. However, a small but vocal group of reviewers reports serious concerns regarding overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate staffing levels. Families should weigh the frequent positive testimonials about individual staff members against these reports of systemic neglect.

Key Review Excerpts

The nurses and aides treat our loved one with incredible patience and kindness. They don’t just provide care — they offer reassurance, encouragement, and dignity.

Family member · 2025★★★★★

The subacute unit is extremely overcrowded. The rooms are clearly designed to comfortably fit two patients, yet three are being placed in each, making it very difficult to move around.

Visitor · 2026★★☆☆☆

My mother was admitted there and she only lasted 3 days due to the unprofessionalism and care of the patient. The lack of empathy the owner and staff shows is unbelievable.

Medicare Inspection History

3-year lookback · Medicare 2026

3deficiencies
Well below state avg (8.5)

Elizabeth Nursing and Rehab has 25 federal deficiencies across three surveys, primarily involving safety systems and facility maintenance rather than direct patient care issues. The most recurring problems are fire safety systems, electrical systems, and emergency lighting, with some deficiencies in these areas persisting across multiple inspections. While all violations have correction dates, the repeated safety system issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges that families should discuss during visits.
