My 22 yr old orphaned grand-nephew was placed here from Charlotte's Atrium Hospital for LTC. We had no say where he would be placed. It's a 3 hour drive one-way. But it turned out to be the BEST place he was lucky to get!! Everyone is just fabulous - top to bottom. He has multiple severe injuries from a traumatic brain injury and he is getting more and much better treatment than he got after 6 months in the hospital. It is truly remarkable! The second day he was there, they did a complete assessment of his needs, developed a plan for therapy and shared everything with me in a conference call the next day. He has made so much progress in a short three weeks! The therapists take pictures and videos to send to me. He always has a smile on his face! They truly are a caring and professional group of caregivers. I am grateful and blessed! THANK YOU!

The only reason this place gets even one star is because of the few staff who actually care. Beyond that, Sylva Valley Rehab is a complete disaster. Residents fall, slip, or get hurt, and it never gets documented—because staff don’t want to deal with the paperwork. Call lights ring for 15 minutes or more before anyone finally comes to check. At night, it’s even worse: calls go unanswered for ages, and residents are left yelling for help with no response. Even worse, vapes have been found in patients’ rooms and around the facility—staff just leave them out in the open like it’s normal. This place is basically still Vero, just with a different name, and it’s only operating because the state hasn’t caught them yet. They know when inspections happen and make sure to cover things up—but the truth is obvious. Residents deserve so much better. If nothing changes soon, Sylva Valley won’t be around for long.

My brother was a patient at Vero. He was there for 3 months while going through Hospice. The staff did a wonderful job taking care of him. I am so appreciative for their support and care during a very difficult time. They were also very supportive of the family. Much love and appreciation for the center and everyone who works there. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Vero Health should be shut down, I wouldn’t send my dog there for a day. The way they treat their residents is inhumane. I’ve worked in several facilities and this one is by far the worst facility I have ever worked in. The residents don’t get changed, instead they lay in their urine, the food looks like slop, and residents go weeks without having a shower. The last time I worked there a resident who had the flu asked for Tylenol for 6 hours and the nurse wouldn’t give him any. To anyone thinking about sending their loved one to this place, DONT. The only good thing I’ve witnessed was their therapy department, other than that this place is the “hood” of nursing homes.
