What this means for your family

Sena Kean is highly regarded for its clean environment and effective rehabilitation therapy, making it a strong candidate for post-surgical recovery. However, families should be vigilant regarding medical oversight and staffing; we recommend asking specific questions about how the facility manages chronic conditions like diabetes and what the nurse-to-patient ratio is during evening and weekend shifts.

Key Review Excerpts

The team at Sena Kean has treated both of my parents wonderfully while they have stayed there for rehabilitation at different times. And the follow up care with Mary the discharge coordinator has been fantastic.

Rehab patient's family · 2026★★★★★

The only downsides (I am told) are the lack of enough staff and; consequently, extended wait times for a response after the patient rings their bell for help.

Visitor · 2024★★★★

They don't know how to manage diabetes. I asked them to give Ma insulin to cover the carbs she ate. They told me that is not how they do it. So her glucose numbers were 300-400.
