Key Review Excerpts

I recently toured Markley Rehabilitation Center, and I was really impressed by the welcoming community atmosphere from the moment I walked through the front door. The facility was clean, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Prospective family member · 2025★★★★★

I would like to thank everyone at Markley Rehab and nursing for the care provided to my mother Ruth M during her short term stay there. They nursing staff treated her with the utmost kindness and respect. Dietary was very attentive to her preferences and her appetite got better during her stay.

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

My father has been here since January 21 and it has been a nightmare every step of the way. There is much neglect on these patients and unless you call them out on it, they continue down that same road as long as they’re getting away with it.
