What this means for your family

While the rehab therapy team is frequently praised for their effectiveness, the facility has seen a concerning trend of negative reports regarding basic hygiene and staffing responsiveness. We strongly recommend that you visit in person to inspect room cleanliness and ask specifically about the staff-to-patient ratio during weekends and overnight shifts.

Key Review Excerpts

The nurses are all amazing, the aides are wonderful and the therapy department helped me to become strong.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

The staff failed to bathe my grandmother during her stay, resulting in wounds due to not being mobile. The staff would leave her waiting over 20 minutes to assist her to the bathroom, some times forgetting her in the bathroom.

Grandchild of resident · 2025☆☆☆☆

I've been in a few nursing homes, but the smell of urine in this one was more than I could stomach. My mom spent less then 24hrs there, as I could not even think about leaving her there another night.

Daughter of resident · 2024☆☆☆☆

Clean record — no deficiencies

Park View Care Center has ongoing challenges with fire safety systems, emergency preparedness, and infection control across multiple surveys from 2022 to 2025. One family filed a complaint about treatment and care quality in 2024. While the facility has corrected individual deficiencies, the persistence of similar safety and infection control issues across years suggests systemic problems that families should discuss during visits.
