Key Review Excerpts

The building is always clean, staff is always there and happy to be there, they treat my grandmother like their own grandmother and are always willing to go above and beyond!

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

My mother went to Jefferson after a knee surgery. She loved having a private room and the view from the window was very nice. Her nurses were really good to her, very kind and helpful. The rehab team was amazing and my mother was able to go home earlier than the doctor thought she would.

Rehab patient's family · 2018★★★★★

Within the first month of living there, my mom developed a sacral sore, fell out of her bed and multiple UTIs. The current one, her urine was purple, dark brown and milky/chunky.
