Key Review Excerpts

My mom has been at Oceanveiw rehab from December 2 2024 and just came home on May 1st 2025. I have to say I was a little skeptical and nervous at first, but it was the best decision I've made for my mom so far we are going through this horrible disease dementia.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

My stay at Oceanview was brief because I needed a different sort of facility, but I cannot speak highly enough about the kindness and caring of the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodatete me, especially since I arrived during the passover holiday and I had specific dietary needs.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★

The staff have been very kind and helpful to my dad. They also help me feel comfortable in asking questions and give me detailed answers.
