What this means for your family
While the rehab therapy team is consistently praised for helping patients return home, families should be extremely cautious regarding long-term care. Multiple reports of severe understaffing and hygiene issues suggest you should visit unannounced and observe the actual living conditions on the residential wings before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy team is very good here. They took great care of me and my exercises were completed to rehab me back home.”
“My Mom was here for rehab for a few weeks. The lack of care and quality was poor which resulted in her decline and later passing away. Patients were mostly just sitting around the nurses desk.”
“My husband was admitted here after a very serious UTI... He spent 6 weeks of sleep deprivation, sitting with wet diapers and being overly medicated. He left weaker than when he arrived.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Manatawny Center has concerning patterns of recurring deficiencies, with families filing complaint reports that triggered inspections. Pressure ulcer care appears repeatedly problematic across multiple surveys from 2023-2025, alongside issues with care planning and medication management. While the facility corrects identified problems, the persistence of pressure ulcer deficiencies and complaint-driven investigations suggest ongoing quality concerns families should investigate thoroughly before placement.
