Montgomery Subacute and Respiratory Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: expert respiratory and ventilator care and clean, well-maintained facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
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.”
“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.”
“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!”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
