Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center

To see the smiles on the residents faces it fills me with warmth. Arriving to such a welcoming environment. The staff is exceptional and empathic towards each patient making them feel like one of their own. Keeping family involved as much as they can. I absolutely love all the indoor and outdoor activities the resident have to choose from helps to keep them feeling alive and apart of the family this facility offers. I just know when it's my time to enjoy senior living Southern Trace is number one on my list to call my next home away from home.

I have worked here for the past year and have enjoyed it. I think we have an amazing therapy team and hands down an awesome charge nurse for our hall. Over all I have experienced great team work and love working with these people. Administration is great too. Nancy truly loves her residents and staff and it shows. She always has time to listen to anything that comes up and handles things in a very professional manner.

Southern Trace has been a great place to work! Everyone works as a team and the elders are cared for like family. There’s always something for them to do, and plenty of opportunities for the staff to get involved with them on more than just a patient care level. Employees from every department are encouraged to take part in activities and have some fun with the elders too. The nurses are top notch and the CNAs are amazing too! I’ve worked in a few facilities, but none of them compare to Southern Trace!

Southern Trace is an incredible place that truly stands out in long-term care. Winning the Culture Change Award and being named Nursing Home of the Year shows the commitment to putting residents first. Our administrator goes above and beyond to make sure residents’ dignity and happiness come before anything else, and she’s supportive of staff who work hard for our residents.

I have worked at Southern Trace for 18 years. Many of the department managers have a long tenure with the facility. There are also CNAs that have worked 20+years. Southern Trace has been voted Best of the Best Nursing Home is Saline County again in 2024. I invite families looking for a home for their loved ones to include Southern Trace in your tours.

I am a CNA at Southern Trace . I have also been a resident at Southern Trace . I had back surgery was left with no filling on my left side of my body where the hospital did not walk me after surgery per my doctors protocol. I called the administrator Nancy Brown, she immediately had me transferred to Southern Trace For therapy I can tell you I was back to work three months to the day when you are a resident you are angry family members are angry because this might’ve been preventable however, I was able to return to a normal life because of the care and my determination to be all. I could be the way I see it. You don’t use it you lose it I’ve always said that.

If I could give this place NEGATIVE 100 stars I would. My mother was neglected to the point I had her transported to the hospital to get the proper end of life care she deserved. She should have been put in hospice but because the administrator was not there on the weekend she did not get the proper medications and had to suffer. Sunday came and she was allowed antivan which was suppose to be every 2 hours but she had to wait 7 HOURS to get ONE dose and she did Not get another dose until after midnight Monday morning. 7:30am Monday morning my mothers hospice contract was still not signed as it turns out the administrator was on vacation. Apparently no one goes on hospice over a weekend??????? I was promised by the ADON that she would go on palliative care and get the proper medications and would not have to go through a 3rd party to get the proper medications… she required medication for her secretions as she could not clear her throat in her fragile state. I was told we would get the order in right away and by 3pm STILL NO MEDICATION as they were waiting on the nurse practitioner to come in…This is neglect!!!! To top it off the staff put a RUBBER BAND in my mothers fine thin hair, poop in the shower that had been there for two weeks- we know it was two weeks because a worker started screaming at the foot of my mothers bed “I told you two weeks ago that was in there.” My mother was given not 1 but 2 broken oxygen machines so she wasn’t receiving the proper oxygen. This was the WORST facility I have been to. Luckily we were able to transport my mother to Saline Memorial where she was given the proper end of life care and was able to leave this Earth with her dignity and her daughter by her side and all the proper medications keeping her comfortable and pain free. Do NOT send your loved ones to this hell hole. I will praise Kiana the speech therapist who treated my mom with love, dignity, and compassion. Ashley the night nurse she had on 10/ 27 and Dash her CNA were two of the most loving and compassionate people I’ve ever met. The ADON, DON, and administration staff should be ashamed of themselves.

Southern Trace is a great place to work. Love the team i work with! They took this new grad nurse in with open arms and have taught me so much.
