Key Review Excerpts

The whole Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Dept was beyond amazing! I chose Hamilton Park because of their strong PT/OT Dept.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

The nurses are very kind and polite and gave good information when it came to my daughters grandmother. She made sure that she was taken well care of.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

My 80 year old mother was there on the 5th floor for 4 weeks for physical therapy. The equipment there was old, you have to ask for a remote to use the TV, the AC doesn't really work and finally the call button for the nurse is useless since it literally takes at least 30 minutes for someone to slowly come to your aid.
