Staff turnover reported at 28%
Elkins Crest Health & Rehabilitation Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include effective physical and occupational therapy. Some reviewers note concerns about persistent foul odors and lack of cleanliness (mentioned by 12 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Elkins Crest Health & Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized feedback, with a significant number of reviewers reporting severe concerns regarding facility cleanliness, odors, and neglectful nursing care. Conversely, a distinct group of reviewers, particularly those focused on short-term rehabilitation, praise the therapy department and specific staff members for helping residents regain independence. Families should be aware of the stark contrast between the positive experiences in therapy and the frequent reports of poor sanitation and communication issues.

Key Review Excerpts
“My loved one has lived here over 3 years. On my last several visits I found Elkins Crest to be well maintained. It was a pleasure to visit. No smells!!”
“The nursing staff was overwhelmingly accommodating, the therapy department did an amazing job with my pain management in regards to therapy and they also took every opportunity they could to get me outside.”
“I had some troubles here with my loved family member, and they were similar to the complaints of others. But I persevered in communicating and things greatly improved.”
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.
