Dunkirk is a great rehab facility, but is also great for long term care. The staff come together to make the lives of the residents better!! The fact that it is a small 40 bed facility makes it feel more home like.

I only have praise for The Dunkirk Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home. We had to admit my 84 yr old mom this summer and everyone there was so helpful , understanding and kind. The entire staff was always available to answer a question or just listen as we navigated this new reality, and always with a smile . Sadly, mom was readmitted after falling and breaking her hip , we were so grateful they had a place for her as we knew the level of care she would receive and that she was in a safe place to heal again. Thank you to the entire staff at Dunkirk Rehabilitation and Nursing . The care you give is appreciated .

My mom has been here since August of last year and I cannot say enough on how impressed I am with her care and this facility. It is very small but clean and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure she is taken care of. Even with her dementia and at times very difficult to please the staff understands and still tries to make her day better. Thank you all, it means so much when we wish we could have mom at home. So happy we found Dunkirk Rehab! Paula
