No Medicare penalties on record
Scottdale Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include highly effective therapy department. Some reviewers note concerns about excessive wait times for call bells (mentioned by 4 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Scottdale Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center receives polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting significant improvements under new management and a dedicated therapy team. However, historical and some recent negative reports cite critical concerns regarding slow response times to call bells, inconsistent nursing care, and poor food quality. Families should weigh the praise for the current staff's compassion against serious past allegations of neglect and understaffing.
