Excel at Woodbury for Rehab and Nursing, L L C has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly effective physical and occupational therapy and clean, modern, and well-maintained facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Excel at Woodbury is a polarizing facility that receives high praise for its physical therapy department and clean, modern environment, but faces serious allegations regarding nursing responsiveness and basic patient care. While many families report successful rehab outcomes and attentive staff, a recurring subset of reviews describes significant neglect, including unanswered call bells, hygiene issues, and medication errors. Families considering this facility should weigh the strong clinical rehab results against the reported inconsistencies in daily nursing care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapists have one thing in their mind and THAT IS TO GET YOU BETTER AND SEND YOU HOME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Approximately 9 days later, I was using the walker and going up and down the hallways.”
“Do I mention the numerous times she pressed the call bell, which went unanswered, that’s intended to alert aides when she’s in need of assistance? In her case it was countless times to get to the bathroom bc of her inability to do so independently.”
“The staff went out of their way to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed. The Physical Therapy staff worked closely with my husband, twice daily!”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
