My mother recently stayed at Kadima Rehabilitation and Nursing in Drums, PA, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the staff and the care she received. While the building itself isn’t the newest or flashiest, the people who work there more than make up for it. The facility may not have a modern, remodeled look, but the staff keeps it as clean, neat, and comfortable as possible with what they have to work with.<br><br>What really stood out—and what mattered most—was the exceptional level of care. The staff absolutely doted on my mother. They listened to her, encouraged her, and took all of her requests seriously. They made her feel important and cared for every single day. Even the cook came in personally to check on her and make sure she was happy with her meals—something you don’t see very often.<br><br>My mother has been in other rehabs in the area, and she loved this one more than any of them. The kindness, patience, and genuine compassion she received made all the difference in her progress and her comfort.<br><br>If you value staff who truly care and provide outstanding service, I would absolutely recommend Kadima. The experience and the dedication of the people there far outweigh appearances. They made a meaningful impact on my mother and on our family, and I’m grateful for everything they did.

My father recently stayed at Kadima for short-term rehabilitation, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this facility. The staff was absolutely amazing — compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the nurses and aides to the rehab therapists and support staff, everyone treated my dad with dignity and respect and always took the time to answer questions and make sure he was comfortable.<br>The facility was clean, welcoming, and very well run, which gave our family great peace of mind. The rehab team played a huge role in helping my father regain strength and confidence. We are so grateful for the excellent care he received and would highly recommend Kadima to anyone in need of rehabilitation or nursing care.

I could cry my Uncle's insurance would only pay for this place...Filthy, outdated, all the beds are crooked in the room.The curtain doesn't open.. Nobody has a freaking matching blanket on their bed... The bathroom is filthy.. Paint is coming off the walls in the hallway...Tv not hooked up after 4 days. The nurse's aids had frowns on when I asked them to take my uncle to the bathroom... The nursing staff seemed miserable..<br>. It was the worst place I have ever ever seen.As far as a nursing home goes. They really should be shut down.. My poor uncle is so oblivious that he just thinks it's okay... I could go on and on and on, but it would just make me get sadder.And sadder and sadder.
