However, families should be aware of significant concerns regarding staffing levels and cleanliness; we recommend conducting a thorough tour of the specific unit where your loved one will reside and asking for a clear plan on how they manage medication schedules.

Key Review Excerpts

My father spent a month at Foltsbrook Rehab Center and received excellent care. The therapy team was especially exceptional.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

My mother lives on the assisted living side and I couldn’t be much happier with it and neither could she. The staff is absolutely amazing and are always on top of things if you need something done.

Assisted living family member · 2023★★★★★

I couldn’t even get a nurse to pick up the phone after my father passed. I could hear her screaming to the assistant, who seemed terrified and should not have been put in such a position, “no - don’t give me the phone… I don’t know anything.”
