This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and clean environment, making it a strong candidate for short-term rehab.

90 reviews on Google“Meridian Meadows Transitional Care is widely praised for its clean, modern facility and highly effective physical therapy department, which many families credit for their loved ones' successful recoveries. While the majority of reviews are glowing, a recurring concern involves understaffing, leading to delayed responses to call lights and occasional lapses in patient assistance or medication management.
