My grandpa loves being here, and that gives our family so much peace of mind. He's made some great friends, always talks about how good the food is, and his room is always clean. The staff has been so kind and caring, and his therapy is going really well. They're helping him regain his strength and independence so he can return home, and we're so grateful for the wonderful care he's receiving. Thank you for taking such great care of him!

I have spent a lot of time in many facilities, and this one is by far the best in every way. The building is always very clean, and it even smells fresh and welcoming as soon as you walk in. The nursing staff consistently goes above and beyond for every patient who comes through the doors. The therapy staff is just as dedicated, working hard to help patients progress and feel supported throughout their stay. The teams communicate and work together so well that most patients I have seen are able to meet their goals and discharge home. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone needing skilled care for themselves or a loved one.

My father was placed in this facility for rehab, he had surgery for a broken back. The first day he was there , he needed assistance to the restroom. He was not supposed to walk without assistance. He called for a nurse several times no one came. He ended up getting out of bed and having to walk on his own. Thank goodness he didn't fall. Then he goes to therapy with a whole room of residences and is expected to do the same therapy as everyone else, which is impossible because of his broken back that is still healing. One day they all left the therapy room and left him there alone again he had to fend for himself to get back to his room. Not only that they made him in therapy put weights on his feet and raise his legs with the weights on his feet putting a strain on his back. I found this to be very much inappropriate therapy for a person with a back injury that is supposed to be in the healing process. I am currently working on getting out of this facility and getting him home to get him outpatient therapy at home if possible 😡. On the weekends is worse, the workers are just sitting around socializing and patients are just wondering around looking lost. I would never recommend this place to anyone's love one.

While I was in rehab, two people really stoled my heart. Henrietta and James. The love, compassion, caring with the residents received from Henrietta goes above and beyond. She always had a smile, made the residents feel comfortable. Henrietta is one in a million. She always made everything fun. James is a resident there. He is such a wonderful person.i was happy when I went to activities and James was there.he would make activities fun, make me laugh. The staff was always wonderful to me. I had great care from the staff and pt and ot staff. I would recommend canyon rehab to anyone. Love to all of u Toni Barretr

After a new hip surgery my 89 year old mother spent 3 weeks at Canyon Rehab Center. We were extremely pleased with the care she received. The concentration on her rehab exercises were consistent and promoted her mobility. The staff to include the PT personnel, nurses, and techs were all extremely friendly and made a real effort to make my mother feel safe and comfortable. We had a great experience here!
