Key Review Excerpts

The appearance (especially the outside) of Burgess Square leaves a lot to be desired, but the staff was excellent and so caring for our Mom while she rehabbed there for 4 weeks.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★

The physical rehab people are amazing. And the so are the occupational therapists. Wonderful people!! The food is not good but you can get delivery.

Rehab patient · 2018★★★★★

The nursing team treated my father with dignity, kindness, and genuine concern, while the PT/OT staff were knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in his progress.
