What this means for your family

Nazareth Home is an excellent choice for short-term rehab, as their therapy team is consistently praised for achieving great patient outcomes.

Key Review Excerpts

My grandmother was sent to Nazareth for rehab and I can say without hesitation that this is the best nursing and rehab facility I have ever been to! They took fantastic care of my granny. It’s a fantastic staff. A special shoutout to the therapy department.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

Nursing staff was rude to my mother. Would not help pick up a sock she dropped. I was there. I can't imagine what happens when I am not there. Sore on her head from moving around in bed through the night.

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

Nazareth home loved our mother back to life. They treated her like she was their own with kindness, compassion and respect. We cannot say enough good things about the level of skilled nursing care, CNA's, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
