Hilltop Health and Rehabilitation
Nursing Home Facility
188 Oscar Justice Rd., Rutherfordton, NC
We’re a bit different from other facilities due to our small size (80 beds) which enables the staff to have very personal relationships with every resident.
With 80 beds, Hilltop Health and Rehabilitation is one of the larger communities in the area — senior care communities in Rutherfordton average about 49 beds. Larger communities more often keep clinical staff on site around the clock and can offer a wider range of on-site therapy and activities, though some families prefer the quieter feel of a smaller setting.
Federal reporting puts occupancy at about 91% of its licensed beds, which is high; communities this full often maintain a waiting list, so it is worth calling well before you need a place.
Medicare rates this community 3 out of 5 stars overall, a score based on health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. The individual scores differ noticeably: 1 star for staffing against 4 stars for health inspections, so it is worth reading both before deciding.

Residents receive about 3.0 hours of nursing care per day on average, including 0.3 hours from a registered nurse. Nursing staff turnover over the past year was about 61%, which is high and can affect continuity of care.
