I cannot say enough positive things about Unity Health and Rehabilitation Center. The care my father received there was truly exceptional. From the moment he arrived, the staff was kind, attentive, and genuinely committed to his well-being. My father had a slight bed sore when he was admitted, and after spending about five weeks at the facility, it completely healed. That speaks volumes about the quality of care and attention he received. The staff consistently kept him clean, well-fed, comfortable, and closely monitored. He had a private room, which provided him with comfort and privacy, and every staff member we encountered was compassionate, respectful, and helpful. They always took the time to address his needs and made sure he was well cared for. I would also like to specifically recognize Baruch Kunstl, one of the managers at the facility. He was outstanding throughout our experience. Whenever I had questions, concerns, or needed assistance, he was incredibly responsive, attentive, and proactive. He consistently addressed any issues that arose and responded in a timely manner, which I greatly appreciated. I am extremely grateful to the entire team at Unity Health and Rehabilitation Center for the excellent care they provided. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking quality rehabilitation and long-term care services for a loved one.

I am very grateful to the folks at Unity. My mom Cristina has been at their Trach unit for a little over three months. The staff is generally kind, caring and dedicated to resident care. As with healthcare anywhere there are staffing challenges and some staff that are better than others, so family involvement is important (and encouraged by Unity). However, when requests are made politely and respectfully, the staff make every effort to address in a kind and caring way. Management has also been very responsive and committed to resident care. Alex Morpha, the facility director, is very involved with resident family, dedicated to resident care and does the best he can to address issues in an often challenging environment. Keep up the good work Unity!

I have witnessed for few years how Unity Health provides residents with the opportunity to recover in a structured and safe environment. Healing through compassion, combined with the support of dedicated professionals who specialize in managing complex conditions, is both a blessing and a privilege. Thank you to everyone who makes this important work possible and contributes every day to the recovery and well-being of so many lives in need. God Bless! Dr. V

DEATH TRAP!!!! If you have a loved one at Unity, GET THEM OUT NOW!!!! There are other rehabilitation facilities or specialty hospitals who foster true and compassionate bed side care and skilled nursing. The Director seemed caring and attentive to my various concerns, however, the fact that no real action was taken to remove/replace the obvious negligent staff is very alarming. Rotating patients or your nurses caseload DOES NOT correct the problem, it is only a pacifier to the issue. My heart goes out to all of the patients who are suffering at the hands of those people staffed there and have no support or anyone to fight for them. Everything about this place sucks garbage juice and its really sad and disheartening! Whether this life or the next, I pray anyone who works there without good intentions and lack compassion for the oath in which they swore to uphold will be judged by The Most High! They had to a charge to keep, and they've failed!

There are few shining lights at Unity where the organizational malaise and dysfunction are epic, however, promise is evident in certain mid level personnel. To be specific Mario Diaz and Marley Purdoe stand out for their character, displaying integrity maturity and empathy in superabundant fashion.. They both went out of their way to make my life bearable after a CVA, they are both profound assets and would be for any organization lucky enough to employ them
