3 findings in latest survey
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 52% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Families considering Wellington Rehabilitation and Healthcare will find a deeply polarized environment. While some residents praise the high-quality physical therapy and the beautiful facility, there are frequent and severe reports of neglect, including failure to provide hygiene care, medication errors, and unresponsive call lights. The facility's reputation is heavily split between those who experienced excellent rehab outcomes and those who witnessed significant medical and sanitary failures.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy was awesome!! They worked hard and got me going again, they are wonderful sweet dedicated people.”
“My dad is incontinent and appeared to have laid in a soiled diaper for 5 days. Dad was very unhappy with the stay other than the food.”
“The D.O.N, Karen was always on top of her care along with checking on all the other patients. Every department was attentive to her needs.”
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.

Original nursing home datasets
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
