Key Review Excerpts

The team at Adroit were instrumental with dad’s recovery from his stroke. The staff is great, the food is delicious and Erica Davis made the transition easy for all of us.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

My mother stayed here after she had hip surgery and the therapy team was her favorite part. Every time I would visit her she ranted and raved about how wonderful Krissy and Rasheedah were.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

The housekeeping team also deserves a big thank you - the entire place is always spotless, fresh, and welcoming. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my love one is in such a clean, caring, and comfortable environment.

This facility has recurring deficiencies across multiple areas, with families filing six complaint-triggered reports over the review period. The most persistent problems involve fire safety systems, medication management, and care planning standards.
