Overall Review of Auburn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

common 15 reviews mention this

Caring, responsive staff show up

Many residents and families describe staff who are kind, attentive, and willing to help.

Across multiple reviews, families say nurses, aides, and other staff treat residents with respect and respond when concerns come up. Several reviewers also mention guidance and communication—especially during complex situations and care transitions—along with a feeling that staff know residents as individuals. Some reviews also point out that staff are engaged and eager to assist, even when there are operational gaps.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Care feels stretched at times

Some reviews describe delays, short staffing, and uneven follow-through.

While a number of reviews are positive about care, others describe staffing being short or schedules falling behind. A few residents and families mention long waits—such as for medications or help around therapy needs—and at least one review raises concerns about medication timing and coordination of diet needs. One review also describes an unsafe environment that may contribute to care problems, and another mentions difficulty getting anyone to answer the phone.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Facility condition is a recurring concern

Several reviews mention the building feels run down and sometimes unpleasant.

Multiple reviewers describe the facility as dirty, smelly, or very old, with at least one saying conditions made it hard to visit. Others mention specific examples such as poor cleanliness, problems with mattresses or safety, and concerns tied to nutrition and wound healing. A separate set of reviews counter this by describing rooms as clean and pleasant and noting renovations or updated rooms in progress.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Food reviews range from praised to criticized for variety and taste.

Some reviews are positive, including one that says the food was great and helped support a recovery experience. Other reviews criticize the food for lacking variety, being cold, or not accommodating dietary needs like no-salt guidance. A diabetes-related concern is also raised in one review, tying the issue to insulin and blood-sugar checks.

In the mixed feedback, the shared theme is that therapy depends heavily on day-to-day support and timely care.
