I cannot say enough wonderful things about Santa Fe Health and Rehabilitation. Having worked with the staff in the past, I can truly say I adored every single person there. Stacie Hill, in particular, was always an absolute breath of fresh air. She made every single visit to the facility enjoyable. It is so clear that she deeply loves and cares for every single patient who walks through the doors, and she extends that same warmth and care to the rest of the staff. The dedication, compassion, and positive environment at this facility are unmatched. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care!

From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by Darren Matthews, ADON. Everything happened so fast with my sweet mom (fractured pubic bone/Dementia/Sundowners). Darren was the calm within the storm for us. He treated us<br>with respect and the same for my mom. As the days progressed, we came to know more of the staff. Truth be told, my family has adopted the staff.<br><br>I will be the first to tell you that my mom has received the utmost care at this facility. All eyes have been on her since day one and she has been there for 8 months. Tina (CNA) is so kind to my mom and has taken the time to get to know her. Tina is very attentive to her needs and very protective of her. Melissa (LVN) is just a gem. She is very intentional and cares deeply for my mom as if she were her very own family member. Tammy the DON is amazing. She has an open-door policy and communicates very well with me. Erica is a calm in my storm as well. Erica keeps me in my lane when my mom is sundowning. The back-office staff are unbelievable! Dee Dee, Donna, April and Stacie, all of these women have such a key role at this facility. All of them are so professional with kind hearts. Jennifer the Activities Director has such great functions for the residents to attend and participate in. My mom had been a hard no in the past, but she has come around and is now participating which is great. When mom had to have therapy, the entire staff was so "team Nana". It was great! We love Kelly by the way! The new Administrator Katie is a definite keeper. Her professionalism and work ethic is beyond expectations. She too has an open-door policy and is easy to speak with. Rita, the Nurse Practitioner is very knowledgeable in helping me understand where my mom is at in this journey and has given wonderful advice. Dr. Niles the attending physician has always taken the time with me despite his busy schedule to discuss my mom, her medications, and overall care moving forward.<br><br>The staff is very encouraging and very loving towards the residents. My mom has received exceptional care here. I have not had one issue with communication or my mom's care.<br><br>Without a shadow of a doubt, I would highly recommend this establishment to care for your loved one. We have fallen in love with the residents and the staff. You won't be disappointed.
