79 reviews on Google“Mystic Meadows Rehabilitation and Nursing Center receives polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility's physical therapy team and attentive nursing staff, particularly for short-term rehabilitation stays. However, significant concerns regarding neglect, poor communication, and inconsistent quality of care in long-term and memory care units are frequently reported by family members. Prospective families should be aware of these conflicting experiences and conduct a thorough, in-person tour before making a decision.”
