No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 22%
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 43% 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.
Rockdale Healthcare Center receives highly polarized reviews, with experiences ranging from excellent rehab outcomes to reports of severe neglect. While some families praise the admissions team and specific nursing staff for their attentiveness, a significant number of reviewers report issues with hygiene, slow response times, and poor communication regarding patient care plans. Families considering this facility should be aware that the quality of care appears inconsistent and highly dependent on individual staff members.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother is a patient. This place is not a rehab center. They rarely do rehab. They are short staffed. Patients lay in the soiled diapers for hours, i have perosnally had to get nurses for patients because their light stays on for hours without anyone responding to their needs.”
“My mom has been undergoing PT at RHC and so far everything has been very good. Starting out with Tammy in Admissions very nice and informative. Nurses Jameika and Brianna are very kind, acknowledgable and helpful. CNA Melissa...OMG she is phenomenal!!!”
“My grandmother passed today after we found her laying in urine and pure filthiness! It was only ONE cna that helped us which was her usual. We will get to the bottom of this I promise.”
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.

Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
