What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and rehab outcomes, making it a strong candidate for post-surgical recovery. However, families must be aware of recurring reports regarding slow response times and communication gaps. We strongly advise conducting unscheduled visits and maintaining active involvement in your loved one's daily care to ensure their needs are met.

Key Review Excerpts
“The entire staff was truly committed to getting her there with intense PT/OT every day….and they did! She was ready to go home in 2 weeks!”
“The staff truly go above and beyond they are not only professional but also genuinely kind and compassionate. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my loved one was being cared for with such attention and respect.”
“The staff ignored her and other patients, the bells for attention rang constantly. They lost her chosen menu and gave her things that she never asked for and gave her an attitude when she asked for what she wanted.”

CareOne at Valley shows a pattern of recurring fire safety deficiencies across all three surveys, with issues in sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, and fire alarms appearing repeatedly. The facility also had problems with resident care planning on two surveys and infection control monitoring. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the consistent fire safety violations across multiple years suggest ongoing challenges with building safety systems that families should discuss during visits.
