What this means for your family
Rosewood's rehabilitation and therapy departments are frequently cited as a major strength, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, families should be vigilant regarding call bell response times and basic hygiene; we recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staffing levels and asking management directly about their protocol for handling patient requests during weekends.

Key Review Excerpts
“In her final hours the staff at Rosewood couldn’t have been more comforting to help us through this process. Thank you again for all you did for mom and us during this difficult time.”
“Nursing and Nursing Aides were responsive and considerate in regard to my sister's unique problems. Physical therapy and Occupational therapy were excellent and my sister showed marked improvement with walking.”
“The center is a little bit outdated, but that’s the only reason I would give it four Stars instead of five. The staff is super friendly! I have visited The facility several times in the last two weeks and every time I walk in and walk down the halls, I’m greeted by all of the staff.”

Inspection History

This facility shows concerning patterns with care planning deficiencies recurring across all three surveys and families filing two complaint reports in 2023. The most frequent problem areas involve care planning and assessments, fire safety systems, and electrical equipment maintenance. While all cited deficiencies show provider correction dates, the persistence of care planning issues across multiple years suggests ongoing challenges in developing proper resident care plans.
