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 74% 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.
Reviews for Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center are highly polarized, with some families praising the physical therapy department and individual staff members, while others report severe neglect and unprofessionalism. Common criticisms include poor communication, lack of basic amenities like heat, and significant concerns regarding medication management and staff responsiveness. Families should be aware of the stark contrast between positive experiences in rehab and reports of inadequate care for long-term residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy department took the time to explain how and why my mobility was so limited and what could be done to improve my condition.”
“While the staff are friendly I'm not sure anyone communicates. Between all the staff working with my mom no one recognized a problem and it almost killed her.”
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.

The facility repeatedly struggles with preventing accidents and providing adequate supervision, with these issues appearing in nearly every survey from 2023 to 2025.

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.
