What this means for your family
While Berkshire Place has a highly regarded rehabilitation therapy team, the facility struggles with significant consistency issues regarding hygiene and staff responsiveness. Families should conduct an unannounced visit to observe the cleanliness of common areas and the attentiveness of staff, and specifically ask about the facility's plan for call-light response times and infection control.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy I received was second to none. They took care of me and helped me regain my strength to go home and motivated me to get back to walking.”
“To a person, they are attentive to patients, responsive to my questions, warm, humorous, solicitous, endlessly patient, and often creative in problem solving.”
“I’ve had to wait as long as 1 hour after pressing my call light for help and it is filthy most of the time therapy is good I can say other than that this place is a joke.”
