I only wish I could give it 10 stars! The minute you walk into Gardner rehab you know it’s going to be a kind and welcoming place. Everyone from the doctors down to the cleaning staff are so happy, comforting, professional and caring! You can get help at a moments notice. Not to mention that the place is immaculately clean! You, you could literally eat off the floor! Special shout outs for Dr. B & Dr. M , Nurses Manny and Sam , and CNA’s Manoucheka, Tina, Kelly, and Vanilla! There are literally Too many wonderful names to remember! Excellent PT and OT staff! They have given me so many tricks to maintaining my balance and strength that I’m going to carry them for the rest of my life. If you ever have to go into a rehab, please pick Gardner rehab. You won’t ever regret it.!!!

I recently sustained an injury that required me to come to Gardner Rehabilitation, and I admit I was a bit skeptical at first. After spending a week here rehabbing my injury, I was pleasantly surprised by how kind, attentive, and helpful every staff member was. From the doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and CNAs to OT, PT, housekeeping, and food services, everyone was friendly, supportive, and truly committed to patient care. I couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience. The only area I feel could use some improvement is the mattress. Given the nature of my injury, quality rest—both at night and during the day—was essential to my recovery, and a more comfortable bed would have made that part of the healing process easier. That said, the exceptional care and compassion from the staff made my stay a positive and reassuring experience overall. Cannot wait to go home and heal in the comfort of my home.

I want to share a huge thank you & appreciation to Gardner Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. My family has had members there twice, once a few years ago and currently. From the first time we walked into the facility we were treated with care, compassion and kindness. All the staff listen to everyone’s needs and concerns. In the first case my sibling received treatment and PT and OT and was able to return home in the quickest time possible. Top notch treatment and care! Currently another sibling is receiving top care and treatment as well. The facility is beautifully clean, warm and welcoming. From the top administrators and receptionists, to medical and support staff, everyone takes great care to see that residents’ and their families’ needs are met. The facility has a real family feel to it. Our hearts feel that our family members are treated like family by all staff members. A huge shout out to Kelly A & Michelle F in admitting, Lisa A and all the receptionists who take care of residents’ and their families’ needs and requests, and all the medical and support staff Including CNA’s Shelby, Stacey, Laura, Kelly and others and all the top notch nurses, OT & PT (Jackie), social workers and activity directors and assistants. Everyone working together really makes Gardner Rehabilitation and Nursing Center a warm, safe and caring home away from home.

My grandparents live at The Gables and we already know they’ll be going to Gardner Rehab if they ever need rehabilitation services. They’ve made so many friends there who always have the best things to say about the care, the staff, and how comfortable they feel. It’s really reassuring to know there’s such a warm, caring place close by for them if they ever need it! Highly recommend.

Spent two weeks here recovering from bad accident and am so thankful this is we’re insurance sent me. Robin, the concierge is wonderful! Always there to answer a question and super friendly. And thank you for the wonderful blanket. Nursing staff was awesome (except for the overnight people). Cannot remember their name but image attached. Thank you for taking such thoughtful care of me. Food was good (I am diabetic and they made me a wonderful baked fish with green veggies and potato) all I had to do was ask. Physical therapy-big shout out to Suzanne who got me walking again! Cannot thank her enough. Room was comfortable, no complaints there either. Facility was clean and had a nice courtyard to enjoy warm days (and smoke). I moved to the area for a job and have no family here and they took such good care me. Alleviated all my fears and made me feel safe. If ever injured requiring rehab again this is where I hope they send me.
