My dad was recently a patient at Sacred Heart Skilled Nursing & Rehab for a couple of months. I only have good things to say about the amazing staff and care he received. I was so comforted by the love and compassion he was shown. I always left my visits knowing he was in good hands.

We couldn’t ask for better people to be like a second family to our loved one. She has been a resident at Sacred Heart since summer 2019. We had the pleasure of personally seeing the interactions the staff, at all levels, have with the residents. Just walking down the halls, we could see and hear the positive and professional demeanors. Also, communication with social worker, nurses, cna’s, physical therapy, activities staff, food service, housekeeping, etc has been excellent. Any issues, we have received a call. Knowing that the family is kept in the loop, or contacted if they just want to know how to better connect with our loved one, the communication has given us peace of mind. The building may not be modern, but the people who work there CARE! When your loved one shares that the people caring for them are kind, good people doing their best, that says a lot!

My grandmother was here briefly from October of 2018 until February of 2019. The staff was absolutely incredible! They took such good care of her and did everything possible to get her to eat or drink something even when she didn't want to. When she was put on hospice, the last two weeks of her life we were there day & night. The staff was absolutely amazing. They always made sure we had something to eat, coffee in the morning, and treated us like we were family. A few of the staff members even went to her wake and funeral to say their goodbyes. I will always recommend Sacred Heart.

My austic son was talking to his father phone dead. He tired calling back his didnt answer the phone. He was upset called sacred heart to see if his father was ok. A unprofessional nurse answer and she would check on him came back on line yell saying he ok he sleeping like he bother her. May sure you watch love they let patient go in each other room and making out mine you patients are married they just blow it off like nothing . Nothing scared about this place .

Our Mother has been at Sacred Heart going on one year and she is very happy with the Professional care and the " Love " that is given to her by all the nurses and Staff ! If you think it is so easy, try working a few days providing the same care they give our loved ones .. Our Mom also enjoys the activities that are provided. All the nurses and staff do an outstanding professional job ! Highly suggest Sacred Heart !!
