What this means for your family

The facility is frequently praised for its cleanliness and friendly atmosphere, making it a potentially comfortable environment. However, given the serious reports of poor communication and unexplained resident injuries, we strongly recommend that you conduct unannounced visits and ask detailed questions about their incident reporting and family communication protocols.

18 reviews analyzed
Hendrix Health and Rehabilitation generally receives high praise for its clean, bright environment and compassionate staff who treat residents like family. However, there are serious, isolated reports of poor communication and potentially dangerous incidents regarding resident safety that families should investigate thoroughly. While most reviewers report positive, consistent care, the stark contrast between these experiences and the critical safety concerns warrants careful due diligence.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 5How does your nursing team coordinate with local hospitals or specialists if a resident experiences a sudden change in their medical condition?

Key Review Excerpts

My dad has been a patient here since 2017. When we have dropped in to visit--always unannounced--the staff has invariably been on the ball, cordial, and kind.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

My Mom loved this place for her rehab & when the decision came for long term, it's where she requested & we felt comfortable. To start, the place is bright, clean, & decorated.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

My Mother in Law was there less than 48hrs and was COVERED in bruises before the ambulance left with her. When I called to find out why they stated, 'She caused them all by being combative'.
