What this means for your family
While recent reviews suggest a significant improvement in staff attentiveness and facility cleanliness compared to past years, the facility has a history of serious complaints regarding patient outcomes. We recommend scheduling an in-person tour to observe current staff interactions and specifically inquiring about their pest control and sanitation protocols given the very recent report of infestation.

27 reviews on Google“Cherry Blossom Health and Rehabilitation receives highly polarized feedback, with older reviews citing severe neglect and incompetence, while recent reviews from 2025 praise the facility for its caring staff and clean environment. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between historical reports of poor care and more recent positive experiences. The facility appears to have undergone significant changes in management or culture, but the presence of a recent critical report regarding sanitation remains a notable concern.”
