So I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Breezy Hills matter of fact, I would recommend breezy hills to anybody. This is one of the best rehab centers that I've ever been in and I've been in a bunch of different ones across the country involved in ministry, and I've seen some bad ones, and I'm not saying that there's nothing bad here, but I didn't see it I personally wanted to tell you, Mike who is the administrator here has really put a great team together. The entire team and physical therapy, Gary and Jay Bree Allon Stephanie, they all did a really good job with helping me get my strength back. Lauren, who is it head over the activities?Department has created a great structure of keeping people busy involved in doing good stuff outside of sitting around doing nothing. Eldar, who is the concierge?Really?Help me out and help me get ready to walk out the door.

Brenda, the Director of Social Services, truly exemplifies dedication and hard work in her role. Her commitment is evident in everything she does. Brenda goes above and beyond to ensure that each individual feels valued and supported, addressing their needs with compassion and professionalism. It's clear that she is not just doing a job; she is genuinely invested in the lives of her residents. ❤️

My stay at Breezy Hills was pleasant to say the least. But what stood out is the fabulous physical & occupational therapy team especially Jay, Garry & Jess! My only complaint is that the therapy area is really small & you can feel packed in there like sardines. I think a remodeled & expanded therapy gym area would really help & complement giving the extraordinary therapy team even more tools to help more patients like they helped me! Would highly recommend!

My MIL's care at this community was much needed. Her Activity Director, Cynthia helped her get her dog placed within a foster home while my MIL recooperated from being very sick. Kathleen was so scared she was going to lose her dog. The Activity Department worked with animal control and perfect fosters, to place the dog until she was discharged. This meant so much to our family because we are on the east coast and couldn't help as quickly as Cynthia could. We are grateful to her and appreciate the time she put into the dogs placement. She was so kind on the phone and to our Mom during her stay.
