What this means for your family

Lyngblomsten offers a strong community environment and effective rehabilitation services, making it a popular choice for many. However, due to multiple reports of slow response times and staffing shortages, we strongly recommend that families conduct a site visit and ask specifically about the nurse-to-patient ratio on weekends and evenings.

Key Review Excerpts

One thing that stands out for me from my 6-week stay at Lyngblomsten rehabilitation hospital is how I was supported in every aspect of my care. Everyone had a professional, cheerful attitude which helped me keep my spirits up.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

My brother in law is a resident in their memory care facility. Every time we visit the staff is always friendly and attentive to the residents. He is well taken care and they are accommodating to his quirks.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

I was there/ saw nurses ignore call button because they were “ charting.” When confronted by me they said they had 10 minutes to response to
