I really appreciate Ty at Matthews Health and ReHab reaching out to me this morning. On a short notice, I was able to visit the facility this afternoon and it very warm welcome. I am very overwhelmed with taking of my Father but I can rest assured that he will be in a safe place for short term care. The staff is very understanding of my Father’s needs.

I cannot say enough good things about the care my mother received at Matthews Health & Rehab. From the moment she arrived, the staff treated her with kindness, compassion, and respect. The staff were attentive to her needs and always kept our family informed about her progress. The rehabilitation team worked hard to help my mother regain her strength and confidence, and their encouragement made a tremendous difference in her recovery. The facility was clean, welcoming, and staffed by people who genuinely cared about the residents. Knowing my mother was in such capable and caring hands gave our family great peace of mind. We are truly grateful for the excellent care she received and would highly recommend Matthews Health & Rehab to anyone seeking quality rehabilitation and nursing care for a loved one.

I had a truly positive experience with Matthews Health & Rehab Center, and I especially want to recognize Wanda and her incredible kitchen staff. From the moment you interact with them, you can feel the genuine care and energy they bring to their work. Wanda leads her team with warmth and professionalism, and it shows in every detail. The kitchen staff were not only attentive but also personable and engaging—they took the time to connect, remember preferences, and make each interaction feel meaningful. It’s rare to see that level of hospitality in a healthcare setting, and it truly makes a difference in the overall experience. Their positive attitudes and commitment to service don’t go unnoticed. They helped create an environment that feels welcoming and uplifting, which is so important for residents and visitors alike. Big thanks to Wanda and the entire kitchen team for going above and beyond!
