Key Review Excerpts
“The PT is 20 minutes when they say it is 45 minutes. Going to the bathroom takes forever to get assistants to get help to go. They seem to try and keep you there longer than you need to be instead of get you out of there.”
“Clifton Rehab is a beautiful nursing facility, with plenty of caring, attentive staff and impressive PT and OT. Recently my brother spent four weeks at Clifton, and we’re thankful he had his rehab there.”
“Very disappointed with the care, attention to detail, checking the patient before administering meds appropriately, wish they treated each patient as an individual, very robotic.”
