Friedwald Center for Rehab and Nursing, L L C has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include highly effective physical and occupational therapy. Some reviewers note concerns about severe understaffing leading to long wait times for assistance (mentioned by 9 reviewers).

The Friedwald Center for Rehab and Nursing receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility for its effective rehabilitation programs and compassionate nursing staff, while others report severe neglect and staffing shortages. While many reviewers highlight successful recoveries and a clean, welcoming environment, a persistent minority of families describe long wait times for basic assistance, poor communication, and hygiene concerns. Prospective families should weigh the facility's strong reputation for physical therapy against the recurring reports of unresponsive care during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“Cannot say enough about the work of the wonderful rehab therapists (especially Jon, Alisha and Darven) who brought me back from absolute distraught to leaving on a walker.”
“My 87 year old Dad has been rehabbing at this amazing facility for two weeks after a dangerous fall. Thanks to the twice daily PT, he is back to walking and climbing stairs.”
“They are incredibly shorted staff!!!! My mother signals for assistance and waits at least 45 minutes. I am afraid, she will stop breathing before someone attends to her needs.”

This facility has serious ongoing problems with families filing multiple complaints that remain uncorrected, most recently in December 2025 involving care planning and resident assessments with no correction plan in place. The primary recurring issues span care planning, fire safety systems, and resident rights protections. While most building and safety violations from previous years were eventually corrected, the recent complaint-triggered deficiencies about fundamental care planning and daily assistance suggest persistent quality problems that warrant careful consideration before placement.
