What this means for your family
This facility has a strong reputation for physical therapy, which makes it a frequent choice for post-surgical recovery. However, the recurring, serious reports of neglect, slow response times, and hygiene issues are critical red flags. If you choose this facility, you must have a family member present daily to monitor care, medication, and hygiene, as the facility struggles with consistent oversight.

123 reviews on Google“Pebble Creek Healthcare Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the physical therapy department for successful recoveries, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. While some reviewers describe the staff as compassionate and the facility as clean, a significant number of reports detail issues with call light response times, poor hygiene, and medication management errors. Prospective families should be aware of the stark contrast between positive rehab experiences and recurring reports of patient neglect.”
