Horrible place to send any loved one! Had too many close calls because they didn’t do there job professionally! From things missing or misplaced to NOT notifying family when it’s needed! I wouldn’t even give them 1 star horrible horrible place!

I have toured several nursing homes in Dublin. I can honestly say that Southland Healthcare and Rehab Center was the nicest community that I toured. I found the staff pleasant and the residents all seemed very happy. I am not sure why they don't have more positive reviews. I came in over several days and continued to be very pleased with my experience. Really happy with my overall experience there.
