What this means for your family
Progressive Care Center is well-regarded for its cleanliness and friendly staff, making it a potential option for short-term rehab. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding understaffing and limited activities. We strongly recommend asking about specific staffing ratios during weekends and evenings before making a decision.

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Progressive Care Center has persistent issues across all three surveys, primarily with fire safety systems, resident care planning, and accident prevention. Families filed complaints about inadequate daily living assistance and treatment care. Fire safety deficiencies including sprinkler maintenance, emergency exits, and smoke barriers recur repeatedly, while care planning and pressure ulcer prevention also appear multiple times across different surveys. Though the facility reports correcting each deficiency, the pattern of recurring safety and care issues suggests ongoing operational challenges.
