Key Review Excerpts

The rehab people are excellent and do smile. They do seem to enjoy their job.

Rehab patient family · 2025★★☆☆☆

She would press the button for help and I would watch nurses/aides just walk by her room even though the light was lit up above her door and there was a constant beep.

Rehab patient family · 2025☆☆☆☆

My father (Dennis) was a long-term resident at Cadia Broadmeadow for over two years until his recent passing... we became increasingly more pleased with the level of care provided to our dad.
