What this means for your family
Roosevelt Care Center is highly regarded for its cleanliness and dedicated therapy staff, making it a strong candidate for rehabilitation. However, because of isolated reports regarding missing property and staff conduct, we recommend that families maintain an active presence, label all personal belongings, and communicate regularly with the unit manager to ensure consistent care.

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Roosevelt Care Center has significant ongoing concerns with infection control issues recurring across multiple surveys and families have filed complaints about medication safety and abuse reporting failures. The most persistent problems involve infection prevention, medication management, and resident safety oversight. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in critical areas like infection control and the fact that families felt compelled to file formal complaints suggests systemic challenges that warrant careful consideration before placement.
