My grandmother was here for a short time in the memory care unit before I moved her out of here. Did not receive the best hygiene care from them. Amanda Stewart who handles the payments is very unprofessional and has a slick mouth. However Megan the activities coordinator was great. She is the only reason I decided to give 2 stars vs 1.

My mother was there for therapy for about 2 1/2 months I thought the therapy was really good for her. I know you aren’t gonna be happy about everything but I really appreciated Shane who helped my mom daily with therapy and I Lena was so good to my mom there was a few that wasn’t so good but overall I liked the facility

I'd DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY TO ANYONE I KNOW THAT NEED 24/7 care on a scale of 1 to 10 I give Brickyard Rehabilitation Nursing Home an 11 that's how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THEY ARE!!!

My Mother-in-Law did rehab here and it was excellent! She was there for just over 60days and the improvement was incredible. The PT staff were marvelous and were able to get her back in shape and walking again after a bad fall. The nursing staff is excellent and care about the residents. Food service is very good and meals are tasty. All-in-all, I can’t say enough good about Brickyard. We are pleased and thankful for their superb care.

My friends grandmother was there sadly she has past ,but one thing that has bothered me is how he made several complaints about an aide I recall he name was Aime Garcia and apparently she was abusive to the grandmother and know one would do a thing.So with that said proceed with your love ones with care .That's enough for me to never interact with the place
