My husband Lawrence had an exceptional experience at Foothill Acres Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Hillsborough, and we are truly grateful for the care he received during his stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated my husband with kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion. Every member of the team made us feel welcome and supported during what was a challenging time. The therapists were highly skilled, patient, and encouraging, creating a personalized rehabilitation plan that helped him regain strength and confidence. The nursing team was attentive, responsive, and consistently caring. My husband takes several medications on a carefully scheduled routine, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate his needs and ensure everything stayed on track. Their attention to detail gave us tremendous peace of mind. The facility itself was clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained, providing a safe and positive environment for recovery. What impressed us most was the dedication of every team member. They focused not only on my husband's physical rehabilitation but also on his emotional well-being, helping him stay motivated and positive throughout the process. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed, respected, and involved in his care. Knowing that he was in such capable and compassionate hands made all the difference to both of us. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Foothill Acres Rehabilitation Center for their outstanding care, professionalism, and kindness. The support my husband received helped him regain his strength and return home with renewed confidence. We highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking quality rehabilitation and compassionate care for a loved one. Thank you to the entire staff - we are grateful for you all.

This is the 3rd rehabilitation facility my husband has been in in past 2 years. Here we have had more contact with doctors and social workers than the other 2. Just the day to day care gives a positive attitude. Highly recommend the facility.
