Island Nursing and Rehab Center 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: effective physical and occupational therapy programs and clean, recently renovated facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Island Nursing and Rehab Center receives polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting significant improvements in facility cleanliness and staff attentiveness following renovations. However, multiple families report critical lapses in basic care, including slow response times to call bells, poor hygiene management, and difficulty communicating with staff. Prospective families should weigh the facility's strong physical therapy program against recurring reports of inconsistent nursing care and communication barriers.

Key Review Excerpts
“The alarms on the beds of the patients go off at the slightest movement, although they're worthless because while sitting with him it went off 4 times and not a single person came any of the times.”
“My father had a recent stay at Island Rehab and I can not say enough wonderful things...first the facility has had a recent fresh facelift, from a few years ago when my MIL was there. So clean!”
“She waited so long that she urinated the bed. After many phone calls to the rehab unit and voicemails unanswered I decided”
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.
