What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for short-term rehabilitation, particularly due to their highly skilled physical and occupational therapy teams. However, families should closely monitor patient safety protocols and ask about the current staffing ratios, as some recent experiences have highlighted risks regarding falls and unattended care.

How They Respond to Reviews

Generic

The owner relies heavily on a small set of pre-written templates to respond to all reviews. While they do attempt to provide contact information for negative feedback, the responses lack genuine personalization and often use identical phrasing regardless of the review's specific content.

Key Review Excerpts

Physical therapy worked really hard to get my uncle back to his baseline. Not many speak Spanish but admissions girl & social services assist did.

Rehab patient's family · 2026★★★★★

The physical and occupational therapists are generally quite good at what they do. Their therapy room can get close to maximum capacity.

Resident · 2025★★★★

The staff at Cypress Ridge were amazingly accommodating with us. They provided a single room for my mother in law who stayed with them for 6 weeks. She had been hospitalized prior for a psychotic break and was somewhat of a difficult patient.
