No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 29%
Spring Lake Rehabilitation Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: top-tier physical and occupational therapy and clean, modern, and well-decorated facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Spring Lake Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized reviews, with many families praising the facility's physical therapy department and clean, well-appointed environment. However, there is a recurring and serious pattern of complaints regarding nursing neglect, slow response times to call buttons, and poor communication during medical emergencies. Prospective families should weigh the strong rehabilitation outcomes against significant concerns regarding the quality of daily nursing care and staff responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father was here for rehab. While the rehab staff were amazing, the nursing staff was not. A nurses incompetent error led to my father becoming septic and ultimately cost him his life.”
“The facility is very clean. There are some great care staff there and the therapy staff is top notch. However; the response times to the call button are very, very slow.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the therapists and the amount of time and dedication they have put in to her recovery.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
