No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 11%
Waterview Lodge LLC, Rehabilitation & Healthcare has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include modern, clean, and aesthetically pleasing facility. Some reviewers note concerns about poor communication and lack of responsiveness from administration and nursing (mentioned by 7 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Waterview Lodge presents a stark contrast between its modern, hotel-like physical environment and deeply concerning reports regarding patient care and staff communication. While some families praise the facility's appearance and specific staff members, multiple reviewers report severe neglect, including hygiene issues, medication errors, and a persistent inability to reach staff or management for updates.
