My mother spent some time in rehab in 2025 prior to knee replacement surgery and then again in 2026 after cancer surgery and treatment. At her second stay, several staff members remembered her from her first stay, highlighting the fact that turnover is low! The nurses are top notch, as are the speech, physical, and occupational therapists. The nurse assistants are caring, and the facility services attendants were great. Everyone was wonderful to my mother, treating her, and us, like family. I highly recommend this facility.

My mother recently stayed at Nazareth Home Clifton in the rehab unit for several months. The staff were compassionate, patient, and attentive. I totally trusted them to take excellent care of my mom whether or not we were there. Their hard work with her really helped her and our family through a very difficult time .

I was transferred to Nazareth Home Clifton Campus because I had had an infected gallbladder, kidney, heart attack, heart cath, heart stent, blood clots, stroke and Covid all within 30 days. My body was very weak and I was worried I wouldn't be able to heal enough to go home. My stay with these wonderful people was a joyful experience! From physical and occupational therapists who were gentle and encouraging to the nurses and CNA's who gave me the confidence to try something more each day I relearned daily skills that I needed. I can't imagine any place nicer or more caring to stay. I'm home now thanks to them all. I miss the friends I made and if I ever require rehab I will immediately ask for Nazareth Home Clifton Campus! Thank you for the respect, caring and consideration you each gave me. 💖⚘💖

My mom had a great experience in rehab there. So good, in fact, that she wanted to move to independent living there and it was just in her price range. She was very excited about it because our cousin who is a priest also lives there and she loves the staff she met in rehab. Unfortunately, because they're so picky about allowing pets, my mother decided not to move forward. She was afraid that if her dogs barked or something, a resident might complain or she might get in trouble. That wasn't a good feeling for her. It was so disappointing. I was finally looking forward to her being happy and not having to worry about her. It seemed like the perfect place except for that. Haven't been able to find anything in her price range since then.

After being delayed in the hospital for several days, my mother is finally where she needs to be. She is now in great hands with all that are a part of Nazareth Home Clifton. She is getting the rehab she needs that will hopefully help her to recover from her fall so that she can return to her home. The entire staff is friendly and caring, and that is helping my mother stay strong and helping her to maintain a positive attitude. I am amazed with the knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and caring staff that are helping her in her recovery and in helping to keep me from worrying. She was in another facility last year that was not good, so I am forever grateful for this entire rehabilitation experience. I thank each and everyone at Nazareth Home Clifton for all that they are doing for my mother.
