No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 25%
Sheepshead Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include modern, clean, and well-maintained facility. Some reviewers note concerns about slow response times to call bells and patient requests (mentioned by 6 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Sheepshead Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is frequently praised for its modern, hotel-like aesthetic, cleanliness, and highly effective physical therapy department. However, the facility faces significant criticism regarding inconsistent staffing levels, with multiple families reporting long wait times for call bells and instances of neglect, particularly during evening hours or weekends.

Key Review Excerpts
“Biggest issue with this facility is there are not enough aides to take care of the residents. A person has to wait a very long time for a bedpan &/or to be cleaned up. The aides are wonderful but they are overworked.”
“They leave patient’s unattended for hours the patient rings the bell repeatedly for nurse no one shows up, urine over flowing not emptied, the Cna are horrible I’ve witnessed them verbally mistreat people.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
