    Caring staff but unreliable safety

    I've seen both ends of the spectrum here: many nurses, CNAs, therapists and leaders (Hope/Desiree named often) are professional, caring, and great at rehab and activities, and the place can feel like family. Yet I also witnessed chronic understaffing, inconsistent care, medication and chart errors, ignored call buttons, hygiene/maintenance problems and even safety incidents (falls, infections, food issues). In short, excellent people and rehab potential exist, but systemic reliability and safety concerns mean I'd only recommend it with close oversight and confirmation of staffing and cleanliness.

    About George Washington Health & Rehabilitation

    George Washington Health & Rehabilitation is a nursing home at 1510 Collingwood Road in Alexandria, Virginia, with 96 certified beds but an average of about 87 residents per day and a listed capacity of 65 beds, so whether someone's looking for a private room or a semi-private room, both options are there, with all the usual ups and downs; this place has had its share of inspection reports, recording a total of 45 deficiencies, including issues with resident rights, infection prevention and control (like F0880), two infection-related problems, and concerns about pressure ulcer care (F0686), so it's honest to say they've got some areas needing attention, but if someone's thinking about the nursing side, nurse turnover shows up at about 30.6%, with 3.20 reported nurse staffing hours per resident per day, and services like skilled nursing, dementia care, and long-term or short-term rehabilitation are all part of the program.

    They go with some unique names for programs and use terms like "Efficiency Indicators," "Quartile Rankings," or "Gross Patient Revenue Per Adjusted Patient Day," and while the administration's run by Mr. Ibrahim Kamara and past records show a link to Julius Mbeboh and ownership under Va Pro 7 Snf Operations Holdings LLC (100%), they're also affiliated with Hill Valley Healthcare. The community's private and proprietary, takes pride in its "People First" care philosophy, and is staffed by English speakers ready to provide post-acute rehab and specialized care. There's no claim to perfection here-deficiencies have been noted in public reports-but features for comfort and recovery include a rehab gym, beauty/barber shop, library, patio garden, outdoor recreation area, places for families to visit, and supportive environments, along with transportation services and pastoral support for those who need them. Sometimes one sees state-of-the-art treatments and advanced modalities, and there's a focus on skilled nursing with around-the-clock care, and even though no current data for office hours or specialties is available, the online profile can be printed, shared, or downloaded as a vCard, and details about things like licensed beds, room rates, full-time staff, or patient days show up in their general info section, so anybody considering long-term care, skilled nursing, or both, will find the basics covered, even with room for improvement because of past deficiencies, while the focus remains on helping residents recover and live more comfortably.
