About Albany Health and Rehabilitation Center

Albany Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 102-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Albany, Indiana. It offers rehabilitation services, memory care, and residential nursing care.

Families consistently praise the nursing and support staff as attentive, friendly, and genuinely engaged with residents. One family wrote that they "could actually go home knowing he was in good hands." Multiple reviewers highlight a home-like atmosphere, particularly valued in what families describe as a smaller facility. The therapy team receives specific recognition for effective care. However, food quality emerges as a persistent concern across reviews, residents and families report unsatisfying meals that sometimes taste spoiled, limited accommodation of dietary requests, and repetitive menu items. Activities and cleanliness are noted positively by those who mention them.

The facility carries a 4.8 out of 5 rating based on 60 Google reviews. However, a minority of reviews raise serious concerns about medication management, documentation accuracy, and infection control that merit careful consideration alongside the predominantly positive feedback.
