What this means for your family

This facility offers a beautiful environment and a highly effective rehabilitation team, which is excellent for short-term recovery. However, given the serious, recurring reports of neglect regarding hygiene and feeding assistance, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits during night shifts and weekends to verify the level of care provided to your loved one.

Key Review Excerpts

The therapy department is top-notch—my dad has made incredible progress since arriving.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

My father spent 21 days there. He went 12 days with 1 shower. He is incontinent and cognitively impaired. One of the night shift aids refused to change his wet clothes and bedding.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

My 84 year old witty stubborn beautiful grandmother presented to Destination rehab... Director Emily (who have seen clean up urine and feces), Case worker maybe Lauren... create plan of care for my grandmother and a plan of care to discharge so to speak for the Family.

Highly dependent on how each facility screens and codes depressive symptoms, so it varies widely between facilities.
