I visited Canton Harbour Rehabilitation center to see my Uncle who has had a few issues with walking and after a short illness he was taken here to help. The staff here are amazing. The staff, doctors, and especially the nurses that are helping my uncle have all been beyond helpful. I can honestly say they have gone above and beyond to help him start walking assisted and because of them he has made great progress. I highly recommend using this rehabilitation Center for any family member no matter how stubborn, because apparently they can handle the job... And then some!!!

Everyone is very polite and courtesy. It's good to see the same team working with the patients and the patients feel comfortable with the Nurse/CNA. Only problem I see is they are short staff and it takes a long time answer the call light when a patient calls for help.

🌟🌟🌟🌟I have been here 3 times and each time the staff and facility was very nice and was there when ever I needed them. I know it's hard on the staff because the nurses have at least 4 or sometimes more patients each shift and the nurses are great. When I needed something it might take awhile but they would try to get it. If I ever need permanent care, I will definitely go here.🌟

These people are not trained to help dementia patients ! Today they said a nurse scratched my grandmothers eye while changing her diaper…then we get another call saying she fell out the bed and can’t feel her leg. We finally get to the hospital and she has a BLACK eye and I called and the supervisor he don’t know jack nothing and can’t even speak English correctly ! Photo below because a lawyer needs to be involved at this point especially when osha says two nurses should be in the room for these types of issues and only one was present so who actually knows why my grandmom has a black eye not a scratch! Picture below !!!
