Medicare shows an abuse citation on record. Read the linked source details, ask the administrator what corrective action was taken, and independently verify the facility’s current status before deciding.
Madison Health and Rehabilitation receives high praise for its clean, professional environment and attentive staff who frequently go above and beyond for residents. However, some families have raised serious concerns regarding unprofessional behavior among staff and inadequate staffing levels, particularly on weekends. While many families feel their loved ones are in excellent hands, the inconsistent experiences suggest a need for careful observation of daily operations.

Detailed Medicare record · up to 3-year lookback
A family filed a complaint that led to a serious finding of abuse or neglect, which the facility has since corrected. The facility shows recurring issues with fire safety systems and food safety, with most deficiencies corrected after citation. However, a recent food safety violation from February 2024 remains without a correction plan, and smoke barrier problems have persisted across multiple surveys, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.

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 4 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.
