This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 59% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Richmond Center for Rehabilitation and Specialty Healthcare receives highly polarized feedback, with many families reporting severe neglect, poor hygiene, and unresponsive communication. While some reviewers praise specific staff members and rehabilitation outcomes, a significant number of reports describe dangerous conditions, including malnutrition, untreated bedsores, and a lack of basic patient care. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between the positive experiences shared by some and the recurring, serious allegations of neglect.

Key Review Excerpts
“My brother spent 1 month there to only be moved 4 times .it took 14 days before they started letting him shower.i bought him a few pairs of pants and shirts slippers .all of his clothes have been missing for 2 weeks everything had his name in it.”
“Participating in physical therapy under the supervision of iris Goldstein and her staff Phyllis, maria, Abby, Mary, Liz and Irina (aka superstar) gave me the confidence to get on my feet and walk again.”
“The facility is clean and patients have an organized schedule of activities, including getting fresh air (weather permitting). The lobby staff greeted me and you have to register using face recognition, which is good.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.

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.
