Key Review Excerpts

The nursing staff were so responsive to assist calls and treated the residents with great respect. The therapists were so encouraging.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

The staff is incredibly caring and communicative with the family; something that was missing at every other facility in Vero.

As a Care Manager I have seen many local facilities and I have never been as impressed as I am with the care and oversight of the staff and management at Hidden Lakes rehab and skilled nursing.
