What this means for your family

Avant Rehabilitation is highly regarded for its clean environment and active therapy programs, making it a strong candidate for post-acute recovery. However, families should be aware of potential communication hurdles with the front desk and ensure that personal belongings are clearly labeled or kept with family to avoid the reported issues with missing items.

Key Review Excerpts

I came here in the beginning of February in really bad shape. I couldn't walk at all due to a very long hospital stay. And when they told me I had to go to a rehabilitation center... I found out this place is amazing and goes way above and beyond for their patients!

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

The administrator is also very involved, consistently communicating, helping families, and making sure both patients and loved ones feel supported. It’s clear that patient care and family communication are a top priority here.

Family member · 2026★★★★★

The therapy team works well with helping patients return home or to their next level of care. The administration team has done a wonderful job with this facility.

Above state avg (8.5)

AVANT REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER has an extensive deficiency record with 66 violations across three surveys, indicating significant operational challenges. The facility has struggled most with infection control, fire safety systems, and care planning. Recurring issues with specialized care like dialysis services appear across multiple surveys. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the large number suggests families should carefully investigate current conditions and ask specific questions about quality improvements before considering placement.
