What this means for your family
This facility offers a highly regarded therapy department and a clean environment, which many families appreciate for short-term recovery.

59 reviews on Google“Cedar Health and Rehabilitation receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the therapy department and staff friendliness, while others report severe concerns regarding neglect and medical errors. Families should be aware of a significant divide between those who describe a warm, family-like atmosphere and those who allege dangerous lapses in patient safety and communication. Prospective families are encouraged to conduct a thorough, in-person tour and ask pointed questions about staffing ratios and emergency response protocols.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Physical therapy worked with him everyday and was so patient and diligent with him. It didn’t take long for them to get him back to where he was and walking again.”
“They have an excellent therapy program that is provided 7 days/week for short-term rehab patients, which is very rare for a skilled nursing facility.”
“My family member was sitting in a soaked diaper for hours and when I asked for help the staff was rude and dismissive.”
