What this means for your family

While the facility has a dedicated nurse practitioner team that many families praise, the severity of the neglect allegations—including hygiene and emergency response failures—is deeply concerning. If you consider this facility, perform an unannounced visit to check the cleanliness of common areas and ask specifically about their protocol for medical emergencies and patient hygiene.

Key Review Excerpts

In the 2 weeks that he was there they never bathe him. They let him fall. Blood pressure dropped rapidly and he passed out. They never called 911 and they let him lay in his stool for over 10 hours at a time.

Rehab patient's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

The staff at Wurtland Nursing and Rehabilitation—including the nurses, administrators, and the social services director—truly understand their clients’ needs and make every effort to provide the best care possible.

General visitor/community member · 2025★★★★★

My family told nursing over and over we thought my grandmother had a UTI. They wouldn’t do a urinalysis and when we finally convinced them, she was in kidney failure.

Recent complaints led to a February 2025 investigation revealing serious deficiencies including inadequate nursing staffing, problems with daily care assistance, pain management issues, and care planning failures. The facility has recurring problems with medication management and fire safety systems across multiple surveys, though all violations have correction dates. Families should carefully evaluate whether recent improvements address the documented care quality concerns that prompted multiple complaint investigations.
