I have been to other rehab centers. This facility by far has been the best. All the caregivers show compassion and empathy to the people staying here. Meals have been good. And I couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you Rennes for making my stay so far comfortable, and pleasant. I would recommend this facility to anyone I knew.

If i could give this place a zero star i would, my grandpa went here after the hospital and they made him do his own cares, he was not given his medication he asked for and actually decided to discharge early due to careless staff and came to a different facility where he is appreciated and taken care of.

We have a dear friend that has made Rennes her home. The staff is caring, friendly, and has been wonderful to work with. They have a big load to care for yet do so with professionalism and kindness. We hear how great the food is! Thank you for caring so well for our dear friend.

My husband was there end of 2021 to early 2022 Great care from all staff! My husband transfered into the facility from the hospital. He couldn't walk, talk or swallow. He came home after 2 months of therapy walking, talking and starting to eat soft foods! Thank you Rennes!!
