These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Medicare Special Focus status indicates a history of serious quality problems and heightened oversight. Review the latest inspection records, ask what corrective actions remain open, and visit in person before deciding.
Red Cliffs Health and Rehab receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the physical therapy department and the facility's aesthetic, while others report critical failures in nursing care and medication management. While recent reviews suggest improvements under new management, several long-term and recent accounts highlight serious concerns regarding patient safety, communication, and neglect. Families should carefully weigh the strong rehabilitation outcomes against the recurring reports of inconsistent staffing and administrative responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Physical and Occupational Therapy greatly improved my wife's mobility and overall health. We highly recommend Red Cliffs Health and Rehab.”
“I am not sure how they are still legally still open and I will be contacting authorities for the treatment my grandmother is currently receiving. While being visited by family there has been two witnessed falls within the last week.”
“The entire experience under new management is improved greatly. It is cleaner, standards are higher, and the staff that needed to be replaced has been leaving in droves as the new standards are being implemented.”
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.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
