Washington Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Strong Medicare quality ratings; families often praise clean, well-maintained building (in some reports). Still worth an in-person visit.

What this means for your family

While the facility has a history of positive reviews from years past, the recent trend is deeply concerning with multiple reports of neglect and administrative failures. If you are considering this facility, we strongly advise you to conduct unannounced visits, speak directly with current residents' families, and verify the facility's most recent state inspection reports for citations regarding care and staffing.

61 reviews on Google
Washington Rehabilitation and Nursing Center faces severe and consistent allegations of resident neglect, unprofessional management, and poor communication. While some reviewers praise the facility for a 'home-town' feel and attentive care, these positive reports are heavily outweighed by recent, detailed accounts of unsanitary conditions, medication errors, and staff mistreatment of residents.

Key Review Excerpts

My mother has been at this nursing facility for just one night, and she is already being neglected. Her call button is being ignored. She was admitted for rehabilitation, yet her prescribed medications are not being administered.

Rehab patient's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

The administrator in here is a dictator... she has not once but twice admitted to not being qualified to do her job in front of a resident and worker! She is making rules up and cannot back up her claims!

Family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

My mom has been there for over 5 years... Not only did this facility pass the test of abuse and neglect, they exceeded my high expectations of createing an environment of love and giving the elderly a high quality of life.

Well below state avg (7.3)
2 complaint-triggered

This facility has faced recurring safety issues, particularly with fire safety systems and infection control programs appearing in multiple surveys from 2022 to 2025. Two complaint-triggered deficiencies indicate families have filed reports regarding abuse/neglect reporting procedures and care planning. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated fire safety violations and the recent complaint about potential abuse reporting suggests ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration during your visit.
