These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 94% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 21 findings, above the NM average of 16.6. 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.
Uptown Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the dedicated nursing and therapy staff, while others report severe neglect and safety concerns. Frequent complaints include poor communication, slow response times, and issues with basic patient hygiene and medical care. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between positive experiences and reports of systemic understaffing.

Key Review Excerpts
“It's evident the moment you enter they need more staff and could benefit from some modernization. The staff works at a very fast pace, but they get the job done.”
“My wife's clothing was lost/stolen even though there was a huge sign posted 'Family Will Do Laundry'. My wife came to this facility with no decubitus ulcers, but left with a Stage III”
“The night (head) Nurse her name started with a C. Was, is great. She went out of her way to help settle my husband in. She is thoughtful, kind and very smart.”
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.

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.
