This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 71% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 16 findings, above the MT average of 11.3. 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.
Elkhorn Healthcare and Rehabilitation receives consistent praise for its compassionate and attentive nursing staff, with many families noting that their loved ones are treated with dignity and respect. However, the facility faces recurring criticism regarding the quality and temperature of the food, as well as occasional lapses in medication management and facility maintenance. While the staff's dedication is a major highlight, potential residents should be aware of the aging infrastructure and reported issues with meal service.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is very nice. Nice place, good food. They have travelling CNA's, they all seem happy and love their jobs, which is nice.”
“The staff have been attentive, kind, professional, helpful and very patient. They are friendly to me and have gone above my expectations to keep my dad happy and safe. The building is old but the staff is full of youthful energy!”
“The staff is tremendous! Everyone CARES about the residents! Only reason it's not 5 stars is the facility needs an overhaul.”
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.
