What to Look for When Visiting HIGHLAND PARK REHABILITATION & CARE CENTER
Use this checklist during an in-person visit. First impressions reveal more than brochures or websites ever will.
Is there an unpleasant smell?
A persistent odor (urine, feces, or heavy chemical deodorizer) indicates poor hygiene maintenance. Brief cooking smells are normal; lingering waste odors are not.
Are residents engaged or sitting idle?
Active residents (playing games, talking, in therapy) indicate quality programming. A room full of people staring at a TV during daytime is a concerning sign.
Count staff vs. residents during your visit
HIGHLAND PARK REHABILITATION & CARE CENTER reports 3.4 total nurse hours per resident per day. During your visit, observe whether staff seem rushed or overwhelmed — the real ratio matters more than reported numbers.
Ask about staff consistency
Staff turnover is 49.5% — near the national average. Still ask whether your family member will have consistent caregivers assigned.
Ask about their most recent inspection
8 deficiencies were found in the last inspection. Ask specifically: "What were they, and what have you done to fix them?" A transparent facility will answer clearly.
