Key Review Excerpts

The nursing staff took wonderful care of him, and the physical therapy team worked patiently and consistently to help him walk again. After just a few short weeks, he was able to return home safely.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

I stayed at Anberry transitional care facility due to having surgery. The care I received at the facility was exceptional. It overpassed my expectations.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

The CNAs gave great care without a doubt. I cannot say the same for the nursing staff; for the most part the nurses gave out meds. The four stars is for the CNAs but anberry gets a one star for the food which is beyond dreadful.

This facility has ongoing compliance issues, with families filing complaints that triggered investigations including a serious nutrition deficiency. The most recurring problems involve medication management, nutrition and dietary services, and fire safety systems. While all cited deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations across the same areas—particularly medication labeling appearing in multiple surveys and persistent fire safety issues—suggests systemic challenges that families should carefully consider.
