Some good people but the bad outweighs the good. If you want to talk to an ombudsman they retaliate against you by putting you on house arrest and lie on you and say that you threatened to hurt yourself and others. When I first went there I was very impressed with them but it didn't take me long to change my mind. If they think that you are alone with nobody in your corner to fight for you then they will mistreat you or your loved ones don't put your loved ones in there. Believe me you will regret it

Back in March of 2024 my Grandmother got placed here for her rehab after a knee replacement surgery. This place is VERY rundown, all the occupants are too loud with no courtesy for others that would want some quiet time. One of the CNAs told my grandmother that couldn't have her inhaler when taking a shower, even though she was almost in the midst of an asthma attack. My Aunt requested that they call her if ANYTHING is done that she should know about, and they NEVER called her. The last straw that made us all angry and have to take her out of this place, is my Grandmother had a doctor's appointment, which is fine, this place had transportation for her, and that's great, but they never went back to pick her up. She was at her doctor's office for over 4 hours just sitting there and waiting to be picked up. After that we had to take her out of this place and just bring her home. I 1000 percent DO NOT recommend this place. None of Nurses here seem to care what you have to say when it comes to your loved one.

The people were all very good. Each and everyone of them went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable, that all my needs were met and that I got to my doctor's appointments on time. I love each of them and appreciate them more than they'll ever know. I would recommend this facility to everyone. The physical therapy that I required for my foot/ankle area for to 2 fractures was planned out and done gradually enough that before I knew it I was walking everywhere! I will miss the staff dearly as they were each an inspiration and I've grown to care about each of them deeply. Now for the reason for the 4 stress instead of 5. I had to return to the hospital for several days. While I was gone the scissors my mom gave me disappeared, as did my favorite shirt and my shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo and conditioner disappeared with in a few days before I left. It is a great place but get a locking suitcase and sleep with the key around your neck. It broke my heart that someone stole from me. I hope they get caught. Who knows what else they've taken from the other patients staying there! So terribly sad. The food is delicious most of the time! Creative menus, good food, and plenty of it. The person that makes the coffee during the week, needs to let someone else make it. It's awful until the weekend, then it's delicious! Sorry, but it's true.

I would like to share what I observed while my sister was recovering at Valley Skilled Nursing Center. She was transferred there after surgery on a broken femur which required a steel rod. She was welcomed by the director then her skilled nursing team including her dietitian, physical therapist, occupational therapist and social worker. All coming together to plan her recovery. She received pain management as well as PR & OT daily as well as diet plan for her special needs! We are both very grateful to staff for the excellent care she has received during her stay there! And she had been receiving visits from wound care for over one year and within 2 months of treatment here her wound closed and was healed. I think Valley Skilled Nursing Center is the very best available care in the area! Both care and attitude of staff is a credit to the leadership of the director. What a blessing! 🙏 I’ve visited many friends recovering in other rehabs since 2017 since I moved to Active Senior Living see recovering friends! Ammon, your the best and I wish you success in all your endeavors❤️
