I would like to thank all the Newport staff for their care during my rehab stay. Thank you to the therapy team for getting me stronger so I can get home. I would definitely recommend the Newport Post Acute for anyone needing rehab services.

My experience is limited as I was only on the grounds for a little over one hour; but while I was there, the staff was very polite and helpful, and the facility itself is gorgeous. I wish I could leave this review without rating the place (stars). I don’t feel that I have enough experience to “rate”. I gave 2 1/2 because that is neutral but I know this affects overall rating. So does asking somebody to rate the place who was only there for an hour though, if they leave 5. I will say this: I have experience with other places like this, and there’s always a lot of negative reviews with any extended stay/medical setting, especially if it’s state funded.

Newport Nursing and Rehab has some incredible administrators, nursing staff and assistants. Even the people that clean the rooms were very nice. My mother spent 2 weeks in this facility and the communication with them was amazing. Every little request, medication, or concern was addressed promptly within 15 minutes. They also called to update me on my mom with any changes that occurred. The physician overseeing her care was also well informed and diligent in his orders. I appreciate everything and everyone.

A Nursing & Rehabilitation Paradise at Newport Beach An amazing experience of a successful rehabilitation! A few months ago I had a total spinal !vertebrae fusion surgery at Hoag HOI. While or after surgery, an acute flared up of fibromyalgia raised. I requested & was transferred to Newport Nsg & Rehab Center. My over 10 weeks rehabilitation at Newport Nsg & Rehab Center was of a great success. * Been at Newport Nsg & Rehab Center has been a heaven, their anticipation of the future scheduled residents needs as well as the needed comfort on their well-being & safety. * Top notch nursing staff are well praised for their care, leadership, hard work & professionalism was a real success. *The staying at the Newport Nsg & Rehab Center was a life experience of what nursing & physical rehabilitation should be with a 24/7 first class caring and professional nursing staffing and daily physical & occupational therapy second to none. * It’s a place of higher standards & well recognized nursing rehab center that has set up the rehabilitation bar too high to be emulated. *The resilience and coordination of all residents daily basic activities, all nursing tasks, their daily rehabilitation and outside scheduled doctors appointments as well as the Social & Cultural activities, a must for all residents mental hygiene, were exceptional. *All different departments interactions were very smoothly with each others, with not harm to residents and efficiently assisting to all residents. *The nursing staffs are all top notch, well praised for their professional care & hard work and leadership on any emergency as well as theirs Physical & Occupational therapists, second to none for their amazing results. * The constantly restlessness and highly performance of the CNA’s were of an exceptional respect to residents privacy, professionalism and consideration to others, their carelessness are the best, always ready to assist without any hesitation at the push of the call bell button. * My hat to all the staffing as well to including the Environmental Dept for their upmost safety attentions to details and consideration to residents safety & respect. * All the staffs should be praised for their magnificent standard procedure and guidances followers. * The Hoag Hospital at Irvine’ HOI surgeon didn’t expect me to make it and after the acute flared up of fibromyalgia I didn’t expect to make neither but Newport Nsg & Rehabilitation Center made it possible. * As a military retired nurse, TX licensed instructor at the US Army Academy of Health Sciences teaching LVN’s courses and nursing evaluator of the US Army Reserve’s Nursing Schools and their training around 15 states beside nursing manager at different level at military Medical Centers as well as Chief Wardmaster of the 31st Combat Support Hospital at Fort Bliss, TX, it was an honor and real pleasure to be a resident here for my successfully rehabilitation. *For that I will for ever be so grateful of each & all their staffs to includes Administrative staffers.🙏👌👍👏
