Overall Review of Highlands Health And Rehabilitation Center

caveat 18 reviews mention this

Care quality is a major split

Some residents describe serious neglect in day-to-day care.

A sizable portion of reviewers report issues with basic support, including missing hygiene, call buttons not being answered promptly, and residents staying in soiled conditions. Others describe medication and monitoring problems, such as missed needs, delayed response during medical events, or lack of family notification when residents were sent out. Several negative reviews also point to safety and cleanliness concerns like falls, understaffing, and dirty or unsafe conditions.

Kind, caring staff shows up often

Many reviewers say the staff is kind and attentive.

Alongside the complaints, many reviewers describe staff members as compassionate, patient, and respectful during both care and family interactions. Multiple people mention communication during a stay, caring CNAs and nurses, and therapists who work with residents. Even some less-enthusiastic comments still acknowledge that staff can be caring depending on who is working, suggesting the experience can vary by shift or team.

Renovations and updates are repeatedly noted

Reviewers frequently mention renovations and a cleaner feel.

Several positive reviews point to updated rooms and improvements to the building, saying it feels cleaner or looks better than before.
