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.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 79% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation receives highly polarized feedback, with many recent reviews praising the facility's cleanliness and attentive staff, while others express grave concerns regarding patient neglect and understaffing. Families should be aware of a significant divide between positive experiences involving specific staff members and critical reports of slow response times, hygiene issues, and poor communication. The facility has undergone recent management changes, which some reviewers credit for improvements, while others remain skeptical of the authenticity of the positive feedback.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Nursing staff was great. Shannon my main nurse was as good as they get. I can’t say enough good things about her or Trudy. The CNA’s were outstanding.”
“My mothers health rapidly declined during her short stay here. No doctor checked on her and it took more than 24 hours for them to do labs on her after I requested.”
“I was left out a lot of loops here and there and the bills were not mailed to me until after she was discharged. Now we have bills to pay we were not expecting.”
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.

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.
