What this means for your family

Kearsley has a highly regarded physical therapy department that can be excellent for short-term recovery. However, the facility has a recurring pattern of severe neglect reports regarding basic hygiene and medication management. If you choose this facility, ensure you have a family member present daily to advocate for your loved one's care needs, especially during evenings and weekends.

“Kearsley Rehabilitation and Nursing Center presents a stark contrast in reviews, with many praising the physical beauty of the facility, the professionalism of the rehab therapy team, and specific staff members. However, a significant number of families report severe neglect, including poor hygiene, medication errors, and inadequate staffing, particularly during off-hours. Potential families should be aware of the high discrepancy between the facility's aesthetic appeal and the reported quality of daily bedside care.”

Key Review Excerpts

“The rehab team is outstanding and carefully tailor his exercises to his needs and endurance. The RNs are responsive and professional and, many of the aides, although overworked, are gentle and patient.”

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★☆

“My mom contracted COVID, the nurse didn’t check on her without me going ballistic! The neglect that I witnessed was horrendous! The CNAs were the stars!”

Family member · 2024★☆☆☆☆

“My loved one sat in their own fecal matter/urine for 14 hours after only arriving less than 12 hours before. Due to this they developed a bed sore and had to be emergency transported to the hospital all within less than 48 hours.”
