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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 100% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 14 findings, above the MI average of 9.8. 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.
Woodward Hills Health and Rehabilitation Center receives high praise for its physical and occupational therapy departments, with many families noting significant recovery progress for their loved ones. However, the facility faces recurring, serious complaints regarding understaffing, slow response times to call lights, and inconsistent nursing care, particularly on weekends and during night shifts. Families should be prepared to be highly involved in monitoring their loved one's daily care and medication management.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Physical and Occupational therapy is 5 star. They are patient and caring people Courtney K, Sue T, and Kelly helped me so much. They were encouraging and made sure I remained safe.”
“My mother is CONSTANTLY neglected. I go visit and her call light has been on for hours. I send food through door dash and they take 2 hours to bring it. I ask them to bring her a cup of water and they have an attitude.”
“The facility is very nice the social worker Latese was exceptional. She was attentive professional and thorough in providing the support services needed.”
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.

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.
