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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 73% 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.
Grove Park Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many short-term rehab patients praising the therapy team and staff, while long-term residents and their families report significant concerns regarding facility maintenance and hygiene. While some visitors describe a clean and professional environment, multiple reviewers allege that the facility's physical condition does not match the online photos and cite issues with cleanliness, laundry services, and responsiveness to patient needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy that I got here could not have been better. The food was good and nursing. It's clean, and the staff help you with anything you need.”
“The pictures on google look NOTHING like the inside of the building. Once you actually go in to the patients rooms the closets are falling apart, the curtains look like they've never been washed, the walls are nasty.”
“Staff members were often unresponsive — it sometimes took over an hour or more to get help after pressing the call button. Communication with management was frustrating, as concerns about medication and hygiene were often brushed off or met with excuses.”
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.

Original nursing home datasets
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
