Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center

4210 Lake Boone Trail, Raleigh, NC 27607

Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center presents a data story that feels like a split screen, with 5-star ratings for overall care and staffing alongside serious concerns found during inspections. You can press the call button at 2 AM and expect someone to come, thanks to staffing levels and low turnover that keep experienced caregivers on the floor, and their use of sleep and anxiety medications is lower than the national average.

Litchford Falls Health and Rehabilitation Center

8200 Litchford Road, Raleigh, NC 27615

Litchford Falls Health and Rehabilitation Center holds a 2 out of 5 stars overall rating, matching its 2-star health inspection score. While fewer residents are on antipsychotic or sleep medications than the national average, and nursing staff turnover is slightly better than other facilities, these strengths do little to offset major concerns.
