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.
Harborview Decatur has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include effective physical and occupational therapy team. Some reviewers note concerns about chronic understaffing leading to long response times (mentioned by 6 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Harborview Decatur receives highly polarized feedback, with many families reporting severe neglect, unsanitary conditions, and chronic understaffing. While some residents and family members praise specific staff members and the rehabilitation department, these positive experiences are frequently overshadowed by reports of residents left in soiled bedding, poor communication, and unprofessional conduct.

Key Review Excerpts
“The rehabilitation department was exceptional. He received great physical and occupational therapy and was able to make progress to be able to return home in two weeks.”
“I came to visit and found he was laying in his poop and still took 2 hours to come clean and change him.”
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.
