Broad Acres Health And Rehab, located in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, functions primarily as a nursing home certified by Medicare and Medicaid. With a capacity for 111 residents, the facility has been a participant in the Medicare program since November 1, 1978. It provides various levels of care including long-term and short-term rehabilitation services, outpatient rehabilitation, and resident and family counseling. The care framework is designed to assist seniors requiring ongoing medical and rehabilitative support, particularly those recovering from surgery, illness, or injury.
Despite its comprehensive care offerings, reviews have highlighted significant challenges within Broad Acres Health And Rehab, particularly concerning staffing and management. Reports indicate a shortage of nursing staff, with anecdotes of a single nursing assistant being responsible for an excessive number of patients, which directly impacts the attention and care each resident receives. There have been multiple accounts of inadequate supervision and reminders needed for the management of critical health tasks, such as the handling of colostomy bags and wound dressing. This apparent negligence poses potential health risks to residents and has been a major concern among family members. Additionally, management practices have been criticized for being unprofessional, with reports of poor communication and difficult interactions with family members. Complaints of unsatisfactory nutrition, missing personal belongings, and a mechanical approach to care further contribute to the facility's perceived shortcomings. Despite the dedication noted in some Certified Nursing Assistants, these efforts appear to be compromised by insufficient resources and a management focus that some perceive as prioritizing financial concerns over resident welfare. Overall, reviewers advise conducting thorough due diligence when considering this facility for long-term care services.
