Overall Review of Kearsley Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Care can lapse with hygiene

Several residents report delayed attention that led to skin issues.

A number of reviews describe situations where residents were wet for long stretches, frequently needed the call button, and were not changed or checked promptly. Some also connect these lapses to skin breakdown, bedsores, or blisters forming while care felt delayed. A few reviews highlight that at least some individual nurses made a difference, but the broader concern is inconsistent follow-through.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Food quality and portions are mixed

Food is described as small, sometimes off-diet, and occasionally disappointing.

Several reviewers mention issues with meal portion size and overall food quality. A few call the meals “dreadful” or too small, while others raise concerns that meals were not aligned with dietary needs like diabetic restrictions. Even with positive comments about food in other reviews, the recurring theme is that dining consistency does not feel reliable.
