Our family cannot thank the team at Bethany on University enough for the outstanding care they gave our mom after her hospital stay. From the moment she arrived, we felt completely confident that she was in the best possible hands. The entire staff, including the RNs, LPNs, aides, physical and occupational therapists, and the dietary team, went above and beyond. We want to give a special shout-out to Jon, Anna Lynn, Roxanne, Yulia, and Jamie for their incredible support. We also want to apologize to anyone we didn't name individually, because honestly, every single person we encountered was wonderful. There truly wasn't a single disappointing interaction. Every time we visited, the staff was engaging, encouraging, helpful, and deeply empathetic to both our mom and our entire family. They didn't just do their jobs; they truly cared. We give them our absolute highest review and are so grateful for everything they did to help our mom recover!

My mom spent three weeks on the South University 2nd Floor Rehab unit. From the moment of admission with Jamie and his sidekick the adorable Walter, followed by nursing and CNAs Katelyn, Chenoa, Wil, others, Tom DPT, Colton OT, Mallory and other therapists, the staff were warm, engaging, kind and competent. They all communicated well with my mom and our family. The food was excellent. My mom and our family would highly recommend the experience to anyone in need.
