Overall Review of Centennial Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

common 18 reviews mention this

Staff care and responsiveness

Residents and families consistently describe staff as helpful and attentive.

A recurring theme across reviews is that staff members are friendly, polite, and quick to respond, with many visitors saying they felt supported during visits and care transitions. Several reviewers add that staff members take the time to communicate, make residents comfortable, and provide hands-on help with daily needs. A few reviews also raise serious concerns about neglect or inadequate care, but even those contrast that with people who seem to be caring and professional.

common 8 reviews mention this

Clean facility and odor-free

Many reviewers mention the building is clean and free of odors.

Multiple reviews describe the facility as clean, well kept, and odor free, including comments about clean rooms, hallways, and beds. Some visitors specifically praised cleanliness when they toured or visited, while others emphasized it as part of what made them comfortable leaving a loved one in care. There are also a couple of negative mentions about cleanliness or linens, including one complaint that a floor was dirty.

common 2 reviews mention this

Activities help residents stay engaged

Residents are described as having regular activities and social events.

Two reviews highlight community activity offerings like game nights, bingo, movie nights, and shared events in common areas. One reviewer also mentions staff bringing their loved one to activities even when participation was limited by dementia. That said, other reviews focus more on care or basic needs and don’t describe activities in detail.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Food reviews range from acceptable to concerns about taste and nutrition.

Several reviewers express dissatisfaction with meals, describing food that looked unappealing, wasn’t nutritious, or was cold, and some say residents didn’t eat much. Others mention a more neutral experience, including that their loved one was eating and moving around and socializing. Because the feedback is divided, food appears to be an inconsistent point of experience across residents and visits.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Building layout and comfort limitations

Some reviews point to older facilities and practical issues in the building.

A few reviewers say the building feels dated, and one mentions wanting a makeover of community spaces. Other comments describe logistics like long wait times on elevators, plus broader concerns about needing more elevators and better room design. There are also negative mentions about parking and wayfinding near the property.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Serious care concerns in some reviews

A smaller set of reviews describe major problems with care and medication handling.

While many reviews focus on kindness and support, several others raise urgent concerns, including changes in care, residents being ignored or treated badly, and reports of unsafe incidents. Multiple negative reviews also cite medication problems or delays and poor communication among staff. These comments stand in sharp contrast to the caregiving praise found in other reviews, so it’s a theme that deserves close attention when evaluating the fit.
