What this means for your family
Rose Garden is highly regarded for its physical therapy and clean, engaging environment, making it a strong contender for many families. However, because multiple reviewers have reported issues with staffing levels and administrative responsiveness, we strongly recommend you visit during off-hours or weekends to observe the care firsthand and ask specific questions about their nurse-to-patient ratios.

However, a segment of reviewers reports serious concerns regarding inconsistent care, communication breakdowns, and issues with discharge planning or administrative responsiveness. Families should be aware that while many have positive long-term experiences, there are recurring reports of neglect and staffing shortages that have deeply impacted some residents.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mom, Jane, was at another facility due age and demensia, that left her fastly declining and in a wheel chair. With persistent follow up over months, a room became available at Rose Garden. We jumped on the opportunity. Staff was attentive to my mother's needs.”
“My Mom had been receiving sub par care at another Sub Acute Rehab after a fall and hospital stay! Luckily, I was able to transfer Mom to Rose Garden!! I, along with all of my siblings live/work out of State so I had a huge sigh of relief to know she was now in good hands!”
“My mother tried to stand up, fell, hit her head, & broke her false teeth. She suffered a subdural hematoma, as well as stitches. The reason I was given, was that Rose Garden did not have enough staff to supervise someone like my mother one-on-one.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
A serious abuse allegation triggered a complaint investigation at this facility, and families have filed reports with federal regulators. Rose Garden shows recurring problems with infection control, food safety, and care planning across multiple surveys from 2022 to 2025. While the facility has corrected past violations, the pattern of repeated issues in core care areas—particularly the recent serious abuse finding—raises significant concerns about resident safety and quality of care.
