About Nursing Home Care in Frackville
When it comes to nursing home care in Frackville, PA, families should proceed with caution. The standout is Broad Mountain Health and Rehabilitation Center, but unfortunately, this facility has serious concerns that overshadow its existence. With a troubling assessment that includes abuse citations and a dismal Grade F, Frackville is not a good market for nursing home care. Families seeking quality options should look beyond the city.
While Frackville lacks facilities worthy of recommendation, neighboring cities may offer better alternatives. For instance, families might consider visiting Heritage Hills Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in neighboring Tamaqua, which has a slightly better reputation. Though still not perfect, it’s known for improved staffing levels and some positive feedback from families. Another option is Miners’ Memorial Health Care Center, also in a nearby town, which has received better ratings for patient care, although it still faces its own challenges.
It's crucial to avoid Broad Mountain Health and Rehabilitation Center due to its abuse citations and overall poor performance. With no other facilities in Frackville meeting quality standards, families should actively seek alternatives in nearby areas. When visiting any nursing home, prioritize asking pointed questions about staff qualifications and care standards, and trust your instincts about the environment.

Understanding Our Trust Score System

Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Frackville has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
