No Medicare penalties on record
Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly skilled and motivated physical/occupational therapy team and clean and well-maintained facility environment. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized reviews, with many families praising the therapy department while others report severe neglect and staffing shortages. While some visitors highlight a clean facility and professional rehab staff, numerous reports of call buttons being ignored, poor hygiene, and lost personal belongings suggest significant inconsistencies in daily care. Families should be aware that experiences appear highly dependent on individual staff performance and shift timing.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was put in her bed with no access to her call button or phone, she was denied a bed pan, told to go in her diaper and left in a soiled diaper because the aide was delivering meals and couldn’t let them get cold!”
“The facility is an older facility and the house keeping staff work just as hard as the nursing staff to maintain an odor free facility.....”
“The staff at Pettigrew are nothing short of amazing. They didn't just provide medical care; they saw the person inside and made his time there truly productive.”
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.
