Key Review Excerpts
“Notre Dame Rehab has been the best experience by far. They treat the whole person and the staff kindness and caring ways have made a difficult situation so much more manageable.”
“The nursing staff, especially the C.N.A.'s, are the backbone of Notre Dame's exceptional rating. They take excellent care of each resident and treat them as if they were their own family.”
“I do want to add that the PT and OT women are awesome and are not part of the problem.”
