The staff did an exceptional job in caring for my loved one. Celeste, Crystal and Minerva are a few names to mention. They were a ray of sunshine. The physical therapist were just amazing as well. There are too many names to list. Thank you for your care everyone!

Absolutely love the vibe here! The staff are caring, attentive, and treat patients with genuine compassion and respect. The facility is always clean, welcoming, and feels like a true community. You can tell everyone goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. While we hope we won't need skilled nursing care again, but if we ever do, this will be our first choice.

Hays Nursing and Rehab Center endeavors to provide an attentive and positive experience every day to its senior residents. My elderly relative has enjoyed her stay there and only has good things to say about the facility. The only reason 4/5 stars was there was no landline telephone connection available at bed side, but with almost everyone now having a cell phone, landlines these days are likely fewer.
