Negative negative negative. Stay away. I hope anybody thinking about going into this place read my review. This is scary that this place exists I got out in less than one day they paid for me to go to another facility. And the guy came to me and said OK if I pay for you to go to another facility, will you take down the Yelp review? For my own sake and my safety sake I said oh I'll think about it... Hell to the no I'm not taking down any review. In fact his bribery is going to work against him. What an idiot asking me to take down my Yelp review so they don't look bad so some other defenseless person comes into this shitty environment. Are you kidding me. I'm yelling at from the top of my lungs that this guy tried to bribe me to take this down. Please read the review on this. Don't put your person in here if you care one iota if you wanna get rid of them and never see their stuff again I guess this is the place to go but watch out.. And $40 missing out of my purse probably while I was in the bathroom that was not right.

my mom was sent here from cedars sanai for rehab. they said they will work with her to walk, strengthen her legs and arms, etc. she never woke up but one time. she never got the physical therapy that i was told she was going to get. she was not given the care she needed. her hair was so matted that her hairdresser had to cut my mom's matted hair. she had a uti that started at cedars sanai and she had NO medicine for it. she had to be rushed back to the hospital due to the uti and sent back to here. whenever i was there, no one ever came to check on my mom. i had to look for a nurse every time. when i did find one, it was as if i bothered them. my mom never woke up again and was taken to cedars sanai, where she passed away. the only good review i can give is when i spoke to angelica in the office. she was very helpful with the medical insurance. it was a very stressful time for me and i knew nothing about my mom's health insurance. i would not recommend this place unless there's nowhere else to go. i would've liked to have had my mom brought home, but i wasn't given the choice. my experience with convalescence homes has never been positive. i feel it's the last place to go to pass away, especially when they never did physical therapy like i was told they would.

The staff here is very kind and does their best to take care of their patients. My grandma has been here for a couple of years and everyone I have interacted with has been pleasant and thoughtful towards her. The nurses are definitely busy, but doing their best. The facility itself is clean and well managed. Thank you to the staff for all that you do!

I had a total hip replacement after I fell playing pickleball in November 2024. I then spent 30 days at Guardian Rehab Hospital, and am very happy that's where the acute care hospital sent me. The many staff members who took care of me were most helpful, conscientious, pleasant, professional, caring and knowledgeable. The few admin and housekeeping staff I interacted with were equally professional, helpful and caring. The staff who took care of me include nursing assts Becky, Cindy, Feliciana, Janet, Julia, Nicholle, Jacqueline; activity staff Bella and Genesis; physical & occupational therapists Abigail (director), Arthur, Mini, Sara, Tim, Raymond; nurses Ashley, Dave, E.T., Jose, Josie, Nides; RNAs (physical therapy assts) Ana, Julius, Martha, Mauricio; admin Ben, Kathlene and Roger ( in charge of food services). And the standout: Rachel, in charge of recreational activities, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and kind, and really went out of her way to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I am very grateful for the excellent care I received at Guardian and highly recommend it to anyone in need of rehab care.
