Please do not listen to any negative reviews on this amazing rehabilitation center my dad was sent there in February and he is still there and the way that staff takes such good care of him. He has come so far he couldn’t even move his legs before he went in there. He also goes to activities every day they get him out of bed. He’s always clean fresh bedding he always smells good. My father has been to numerous rehab rehabilitation centers and I will tell you that no other staff has gone above and beyond the way colony has and I cannot thank them enough

Great facility . My grandmother was a short term stay and had nothing but great things to say. Occupational therapy helped her so much. Location was always clean and well maintained while I was there. Administration was great to work with

Delt with a few facilities over the years with different grandparents and now using one for my Mother in Law is a different level. This location has met all of our needs. Communication is amazing, the facility is clean, well kept and always staffed. My mother in law is very pleased with the food and says the chef does a great job (great compliment from a picky women). Staff is very attentive, compassionate and stays on top of all needs. Administration is phenomenal to work with along with head nurses. Any issue or concern has always been taken extremely serious and been taken care of in a timely manner. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, clean environment for a loved one.

General lack of care and communication which ultimately led to a return to the ER. Basic amenities (like toilets) in near disrepair. Very disappointing. If you care about your loved ones, seek another facility.

First I want to thank Rebecca , Paula and the staff for taking care of my dad a purple heart veteran. My dad has a great roommate who is also a veteran. They have so much in common. Its nice to visit them both. This is a great facility for your family member.
