The staff was friendly and pleasant. CNA Rainey' Nurse Max, Sonia, Housekeeping, and all therapy staff were awesome. I recommend this facility for rehab.

Mom needed rehab, for 3 weeks the doctors, pt/ot, nurses, cna's, housekeeping and even food was great! What started out as a delicate situation with pneumonia ended fully recovered and stronger than ever. Thank you also to Annette and Arthur(new at the time) for being available as we transitioned in and out, they answered an array of questions and home care is already involved. You truly made a difficult situation a smooth transition. Thank you!

I want to personally thank Nona B. (Assistant Director of Nursing) for taking great care of patients, being there for them, setting necessary appointments with the doctors, and timely following up with the family.

I cannot say enough good things about Thrive of Lake County. To their Executive Director (Anne), social workers (Will, Ninette, CJ), and their Director of Admissions (Yvette), they bring exceptional care to their residents, whether it is long or short term. I highly highly recommend this community.
