This review is long overdue. My father was a resident here and was discharged in November, and after coming from another rehab facility on the North Shore, the difference was truly night and day. From the moment we arrived, this place felt like the “Ritz Carlton” of rehab facilities-clean, immaculate, and welcoming. The environment alone gave us confidence, but it was the staff who made the experience exceptional. Nati, Jennifer, and the entire nursing staff were absolutely amazing with my 87-year-old father. They were incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely took pride in everything they did. It was clear that my father was not just a patient, but someone they truly cared about( I apologize if I’m missing a few names, because there were so many incredible staff members who made a difference). Gian, the admissions director, was always on site and available to answer any questions we had, which gave our family peace of mind. The PT and OT therapists (Marek & Michelle) were extremely professional annd kind and worked with my father twice a day. In just one month, we saw amazing and positive results far beyond what we expected. I truly cannot say enough good things about this facility. I would highly recommend this rehab center to anyone looking for exceptional care for their loved one.
