Further for us to visit than other places but we are glad we made the choice of the Newman Rehabilitation Center when our father needed a rehabilitation stay after hospitalization. The entire staff could not have been nicer or more helpful.

My Mom was a resident for 2 years & I couldn’t have asked for better care! The staff & residents became family to my Mom as well as myself! The new owners have taken a great interest in the facility, staff & residents. The therapy my Mom received was excellent & the Activity Director keeps the residents engaged in fun activities. The nursing staff & CNA’s are very caring & I never worried about the care my Mom received! So glad this facility was my Mom’s “home”!!
