Key Review Excerpts

“The nurses and CNA’s were so attentive to his needs . Therapy worked with him every step of the way and helped him gain the strength he needed to come back home !”

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

“I chose Carolina Rehab for my mother after a horrible experience with another local rehab. Everyone has been kind and patient with her. I have seen she has made improvements that she didn't before.”

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★☆

“Only send your loved one here if you are looking for a quick funeral. They lack staff, poor communication and allowed staples to remain in place for over 10 days instead of removing them they when the resident arrived.”
