About Butler Rehab and Healthcare Center

Butler Rehab and Healthcare Center is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Butler, Missouri, with a licensed capacity of 98 residents. The center serves patients requiring post-surgical rehabilitation, complex medical management, and ongoing long-term care.

Families consistently praise the staff's attentiveness and genuine care. Multiple reviewers noted that residents feel valued and treated as individuals rather than cases, one family wrote, "they will dance around her because she's now unable to stand or walk on her own." Staff members are described as knowing residents' preferences, maintaining good rapport, and going above and beyond to ensure comfort. The facility itself is frequently called clean, welcoming, and homey, with visitors observing residents appearing happy and content.

However, the reviews contain significant contradictions. While most highlight successful rehabilitation outcomes and compassionate care, a handful of one-star reviews raise serious concerns about safety (including falls resulting in broken bones and ER visits), inadequate hygiene standards, and alleged neglect. These negative accounts point to inconsistent care quality and potential gaps in nursing oversight.

Butler Rehab holds a 4.5/5 rating across 70 Google reviews. Prospective families should carefully weigh the strong positive feedback against the critical safety and quality concerns raised by dissenting reviewers.

Great people to care for my loved one.

I give this place five stars because the staff do a wonderful job with the residents. They also make agency staff members who only come in for that day feel welcomed and appreciated. They have a good rapport with their residents and they know their residents, likes, dislikes and the demeanor that each person may have. The facility itself as far as structure and foundation is not something that the staff or management can do something about. All of the staff to include each nurse and CNA are not construction workers so that is something out of their control.

Butler Nursing & Rehab is defiantly a place to call home. The staff and management is superior.

Recently just placed a new administrator who has a passion for the residents and encourages family to stop by and meet him.
