This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 56% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 11 findings, above the AL average of 3.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Self Skilled Nursing & Rehab receives significant praise for its warm, family-oriented atmosphere and compassionate staff who go above and beyond during difficult times. While many families report high satisfaction with the care provided, there are serious historical concerns regarding staffing levels, medication management, and patient safety protocols. Prospective families should weigh the strong emotional support reported by many against the critical incidents mentioned by others.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff that took care of my mother was the best that we could have asked for. Not only did they care for our mom, they took time out to really minister to us as a family.”
“The activities Dept keep the clients involved in crafts for others, card making, praise and worship with visiting youth groups, choirs, quartets, children’s ministries and senior programs.”
“While some of the nursing staff are very friendly, the quality of care received is terrible. More often than not there is only one nurse and one assistant on staff at any given time.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
