Overall Review of Eldercrest Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center
common27 reviews mention this
Care staff can be responsive
Many residents’ families describe staff as kind, accommodating, and engaged in care.
A large share of reviews highlight staff who feel friendly and respectful, with families saying nurses and aides made them comfortable during stressful rehab stays. Several reviewers also describe therapists and activity staff as motivating or encouraging, and some mention daily check-ins around needs and discharge planning. Even among mixed experiences, the day shift is sometimes described as more pleasant than other staffing periods.

Cleanliness is a frequent theme
Residents’ families frequently comment on how clean the facility feels.
Many reviews praise cleanliness, including comments about a clean, sanitized environment and rooms being cleaned daily. Other reviewers express the opposite, describing strong urine odors, dirty rooms, feces, or poor housekeeping attention. Taken together, the reviews suggest cleanliness can vary by stay and staffing coverage.

Staffing and response times raise concerns
Several reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and delayed help.
Multiple reviewers describe understaffing and difficulty getting timely assistance after call buttons are pressed, including reports of waiting long periods for help. There are also accounts of care gaps—such as not assisting with meals, incomplete hygiene, or insufficient attention leading to serious health declines—that point to inconsistent coverage. One reviewer also flags issues around weekend cleaning and general follow-through.
common13 reviews mention this
Rehab therapy gets mixed feedback
Therapy quality is a repeated point of both praise and criticism.
Many reviews say physical therapy and occupational therapy helped residents work toward discharge, with some describing a well-equipped rehab space and motivating rehab staff. Others disagree, saying therapy time felt limited, residents were left in wheelchairs without enough assistance, or the facility did not meet needs after falls or cognitive decline. A few reviewers also mention equipment or discharge-direction issues when they left.
caveat11 reviews mention this
Food and diet support are inconsistent
Food quality and diet support come through as a mixed experience.
Some families describe dietary staff as checking meals, offering adjustments for likes and dislikes, and supporting residents with specific dietary needs. Other reviews criticize food quality—describing meals as cold, “slop,” or lacking nutrition—and say residents were not adequately assisted to eat. A few reviewers also mention being allowed to bring outside food when the in-house options did not work.
