What this means for your family
Sea Crest offers a highly effective rehabilitation program that has helped many residents regain independence. However, families should be aware of consistent reports regarding staffing shortages and slow response times; we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours and asking specifically about the current patient-to-CNA ratio on your loved one's assigned floor.

However, significant concerns persist regarding chronic understaffing, slow response times for call bells, and inconsistent cleanliness in patient rooms. Families should be aware that while many report excellent recovery outcomes, others describe distressing experiences with neglect and poor communication.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy team is excellent — I can already see clear improvement in her mobility and strength. What makes this place even more special is the daily activities they provide.”
“The staff is incredibly professional, compassionate, and attentive. Every nurse, therapist, and aide we encountered treated my mom with genuine kindness and respect.”
“My only concern is, when the patient goes to dialysis before noon and they come back around 3 or 4 their lunch is sitting there getting cold and can’t be warmed up for them.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Sea Crest has ongoing issues with nurse staffing transparency, appearing in all three recent surveys, along with recurring fire safety problems including sprinkler system maintenance. One family filed a complaint regarding abuse reporting procedures in 2023. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated staffing and safety violations suggest persistent operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
