It is a good place to get skilled nursung, orientential and physical therapy. The staff is kind abd respectful. The draw back are no events on weekends. Reduced staff on weekends and people call off from shifts. You are person, not a dollar sign. .

My husband was in Westwood to recover from back surgery and to gain strength. He improved quickly, enjoyed the food and activities, and had good physical therapy care. The staff is outstanding - very caring, good listeners, and knowledgeable.

I would never bring my loved ones to this facility. While there are good people who truly care they are HEAVILY outweighed by those who could care less. Improper cares, terrible conditions for those who aren't able to speak for themselves. Again I would never ever bring any person let alone a loved one to reside at this facility. Outpatient skilled care is good. Inpatient stays i would never recommend

My husband has been in the skilled nursing and rehab program for the last 100 days. The care he received was exceptional and they were always.open to hearing concerns. The PT/OT was excellent and my husband made such progress with them. Outstanding team that truly cares about each patient and has made a big impact on both my husband and myself. I couldn't be more thankful for the care he received. Such a positive staff!
