Key Review Excerpts
“This place is horrible and should be shut down. My father was here after he had surgery. They constantly messed up his medications, missing doses giving the meds at the wrong times. Never showered him until we demanded one.”
“I can't say enough about the Medina Center for Rehab and Nursing!!! My brother Dave has lived there for 1-1/2 years now and he is thriving! He receives excellent care from your amazing staff and we enjoy the picnics and fun activities for family too!”
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.

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.
