Overview of Eaglecrest Nursing and Rehab

Operated by AFNC, Inc., under owner Maggie Cannon, Eaglecrest Nursing and Rehab is a skilled nursing community that serves both short-term rehabilitation residents and those needing longer-term nursing care. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several options when arranging coverage.

The community has 100 beds, with an occupancy rate of 74%. Residents stay an average of 179 days. That resident mix reflects the facility’s focus on post-acute recovery alongside ongoing skilled nursing care. Daily nurse staffing averages about 4 hours and 10 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse aides, and 24-hour staffing that provides daily hands-on assistance.

Rehabilitation services are a major part of daily operations. Respite care is available alongside traditional skilled nursing services. The therapy gym includes state-of-the-art equipment, and structured programs are designed around recovery and well-being. Daily activities include entertainment, social opportunities, and a rotating calendar of programs. Residents also have access to salon services. An outdoor courtyard with a gazebo provides space for fresh air and outdoor time.

Meals are overseen by a certified dietary manager. Professional cooks prepare nutritious meals while accommodating food allergies and individual preferences. Residents can gather in a large communal dining room, and there’s a dedicated activity area for socialization and daily programming.

The facility is in a car-dependent area where most errands require transportation. However, the immediate neighborhood is quiet and residential.

State inspections have shown improvement over time. The most recent survey found no health deficiencies and no complaints. Earlier surveys identified areas involving resident privacy, medication security, care planning documentation, and environmental safety, reflecting compliance areas the facility has worked to address.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Weekend RN is +19% above state avg
Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 24m per day ■ Avg State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 50m per day ▼ 13% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 33m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 2h 43m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 10m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 3h 29m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 0m per day ▼ 77% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 19m per day ▲ 19% State avg: 16m per day · National avg: 28m per day
