What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its respiratory and rehabilitation services, with many families reporting excellent communication. However, because there are serious, isolated reports of neglect and poor responsiveness, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and asking specifically about their protocols for escalating medical concerns to family members.

Montgomery Subacute and Respiratory Center receives high praise for its specialized respiratory care, clean environment, and attentive nursing staff. While many families report excellent communication and successful rehabilitation outcomes, a small number of critical reviews allege severe neglect and poor responsiveness to medical emergencies. Families should carefully weigh the strong clinical reputation against these serious concerns regarding oversight and staffing.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff at Clara Burke got him on his feet, removed the trach & eliminated the need for a feeding tube. I'd especially like to mention Kathy (social worker), Richie (respiratory), RyAnn (nursing), Melissa (speech) & everyone from PT, they all helped to make a difficult time a happier & productive one.

Rehab patient's spouse · 2022★★★★

My brother was there for three years. The staff took very good care of him. If anything happened to him they notified me as soon as it happened. They were kind and very helpful. When my brother passed away, the people at the funeral home told me that there was not a scratch or bedsore on his body.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

The medical staff and office staff at Montgomery Subacute are wonderful and he seems very happy. I can't say enough good things about the care he gets!

Well below state avg (10.1)
3 complaint-triggered

Montgomery Subacute shows a concerning pattern with 34 deficiencies across four surveys, including two complaint-triggered issues where families reported inadequate food/fluids and care quality. The facility has recurring problems with medication management and pharmacy services, fire safety systems, and resident rights protections. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated issues with medication oversight and safety systems suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should investigate further.
