My short stay at Hillsboro Rehab and Care Center was very good. The regular, in-house staff were very caring, and provided me with top notch care, both on the nursing/care end, and in therapy. Unfortunately, like most nursing homes today, they do not have enough staff, and often have to rely on agency nurses/CNAs. The quality there was much more hit and miss. Many were good. Others left a lot to be desired. Thank you so much, for helping me navigate my hospital-to-home stay, and for providing really good care.
