My mom is currently staying at Preferred Care Rehabilitation Center, and our family has been very pleased with the care she is receiving. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients. The staff members at Preferred Care are kind, professional, and genuinely caring. They are always willing to answer questions, provide assistance, and ensure that patients are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.

We are truly grateful for the excellent care, support, and attention provided by the entire team. Thank you to everyone at Preferred Care for helping my mom through her rehabilitation journey and making her stay a positive experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

It’s very nice and very clean. Rooms are comfortable, the girls are wonderful. Very homey here! The patients all talk together about how much we like it here. The best therapy! Everyone talks about that too. My favorite nurse is Tasha, she’s a doll! She’s one of the reasons I’d want to stay here if I had to. Administration is amazing as well, always asking we need anything, and if we do they always make to sure to take care of it right away. If I ever need a long term facility, this is definitely the place I’d come to.

Day 1 very accommodating and kind. My mother was pleased with the location and her room. She also arrived at dinner time and thought it was great to get a hotdog, baked beans and coleslaw for dinner. After being in the hospital it was a nice surprise. Room was clean and she has furniture to hold her belongings. I hope I get a survey on Day 14 and can say more great things! Day 2 Mom was thoroughly cleaned and changed into new clothes. Everyone was attentive. Paris was wonderful and so was Jennifer the PT. Mom’s room was changed, due to safety of the patients. I appreciate that:..(to be clear my Mom is fighting an infection and her roommate could not be around that) Additionally, I happened to look out of the window and realized a man had fallen out of his wheel chair in the courtyard. I told the staff in the hallway and she (I’m sorry I didn’t get her name) ran from where we were all the way to him to help. There were 5 people helping to get him safe and he was ok. The young lady who ran to him came back and thanked me for letting them know.
