What this means for your family
This facility has a strong reputation for physical therapy and rehabilitation, but the reports of hygiene neglect and poor communication are serious red flags. If you choose this facility, I strongly recommend visiting at different times of the day—especially on weekends—to ensure your loved one is receiving consistent, attentive care.

63 reviews on Google“Mecklenburg Health and Rehabilitation receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the compassionate nursing staff and effective rehabilitation programs, while others report severe neglect and hygiene issues. While some families describe the facility as a 'family-like' environment where residents thrive, multiple reviewers have documented instances of residents being left in soiled conditions for extended periods and unresponsive communication from staff. Prospective families should be aware of this inconsistency and consider frequent, unannounced visits to monitor the quality of care.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was a resident at Mecklenburg Health and Rehabilitation for several years before passing away in January of 2026. I could not have asked for a more compassionate and caring staff.”
“My husband has had to have extensive rehab due to several foot surgeries. This facility is heads and tails above any of the other three rehabs he has been to before. The nurses and techs are all exceptional.”
“My dad stayed there for months, and they put him in a diaper instead of coming when he called to be helped to the bathroom which was in his room. One time I came to visit and he had called the nurse call button at 830 that morning to be changed and dressed and I got there at 1030 and he still hadn't been changed.”
